Loads Of question (3 ,Modem, comparing HTC Magic)

[Guest `Anderson]

Have any one got the HTC magic ? Will the UI be smoother then the Magic as i find the Magic very very Laggy.

I am planning to get it unlocked and use 3 as the Provider. Will i be able to go on the internet with 3 after i get it unlock ? and the Skype, Msn app that come free with the PAYG 3 sim card , will it use up any data usage ?

Anyone Connect the SF to the computer and use the Phone as a Modem to go on the internet ??

thx Anderson :rolleyes:

[Guest `Anderson]

Thx a lot everyone :rolleyes:

So the cheapest at the moment will be around £79 ? correct me if i am incorrect.

m... still thinking of should i get it or not as there is quite a few bugs going on.

[Guest fryguyse]

I had a HTC Magic before i got my Blade. I ran the official Android 2.1 for Canada on my Magic. Switching between "screens" on the Blade is very slow as default, but after i installed LauncherPro it's ok. I guess it might be even better with a custom ROM. I'm running the original with the orangecrap removed.

The display on the Blade is way better than the Magics display though, and 3d games runs a lot faster on the Blade.

One more question ? is the GPS usable ? and will it use up any data usage ?

[Guest Armadillo1]

I sold my Magic - got £87 + £3 quidco and paid about the same for the Blade. I ran Cyanogenmod 6 (2.2) on Magic and the Blade is quite a bit faster IMO. And the fact that it has an actual headphone jack is great. The Magic was better build quality though.

[Guest cobalt01]

The gps is alright on mine picks up fast outside but sometimes doesn't inside (satnavs are the same) as for data you can set it to just gps instead off agps. This will make it so just gps is being used and not your network as well. If you run Pauls custom rom with launcher pro it's not to bad a few lags but newt bad

What is the cheapest way to get it ?

is it from phoing up the Orange Sales team ? and what is the No. ? I heard that you can phone them on skype for free

And is it a £30 pound discount so it comes to £70 ? and do i have to pay £10 for top up as well ? So in total how much do i have to pay ? I can borrow my mates Orange PAYG sim card.

thx Anderson

[Guest cobalt01]

Have a look here see if that works for you. I payed full for mine but if you know someone on a orange sim only deal for example you might get away with the £10 topup due to it wont work because your on a contract

[Guest `Anderson]

Does the SF uses the AMOLED or the OLED ??

and what is the difference from the TFF AND the AMOLED ??

i've heard that the white one coming out is gonna use the TFF ??

if so which is better to get ?

[Guest Rem1x]

In my opinion the OLED is MUCH better. Whites are white, Blacks are Black, all is well :rolleyes:

[Guest `Anderson]

m... werid people are saying that the White are coming with the TFF screen

[Guest rayraven]

There's not really a huge difference between OLED & AMOLED.

It's just a different way the pixels are controlled AFAIK.

so which one does the SF use ?

[Guest rayraven]

Not sure, i think it's AMOLED with a Pen-Tile matrix layout.

EDIT: Looks like PMOLED is only upto 3inches typically. So, i guess the screen is probably AMOLED.

For more information: http://www.articlesbase.com/gadgets-and-gi...led-733482.html

In my opinion the OLED is MUCH better. Whites are white, Blacks are Black, all is well :rolleyes:

And no backlight means better battery life.

[Guest `Anderson]

still don't know what is the cheapest way to buy it ! is it £70 if you are a orange customer ? and do you have to top up £10 as well ?

[Guest `Anderson]
