CTIA Coverage: HTC Magic, Nuvifone & Palm Pre

by Chris Hardwick on April 7, 2009

CTIA is basically a cell phone convention. Good times were had there by me. Though, I’ve been to the Las Vegas Convention Center so many times in the last few months that every time I go back it’s like hooking up with an ex: familiar & pleasant but with an unmistakable weirdness.

Please come to Birmingham, AL. I’ll schedule your “Home for the weekend” tour. You could do an end -of week roundabout of the southeast-

nerds over here on the east coast miss you.

Very good stuff, thanks for the review.

The Magic does look nice. Any word if it will support Stereo blue tooth? i.e. the ‘Cupcake’ features?

Which of those was your favorite Chris?

Deltus: The Pre looks really promising! I didn’t get to play with it enough to really tell, though.

I must say, I’m looking forward to the Pre (all the talk and fawning, how can you not?), but after watching your vid I went looking up the Magic, and I gotta admit, I’m torn as to which of those two I want next in a smartphone. My HTC Touch (I must’ve been high when I got it, it’s horribly underpowered) is coming up at the end of the contract soon, and lo and behold, I have two goodies to choose from! The choice is so delicious and painful, I might just pee a little. Then again, it’s basically “Which little bundle of awesome do you want, bundle A or bundle B?”, which isn’t a bad choice to have to make.

I’m totally not seeing you on the GPS thing though. Hell, my Touch does GPS for me, and frankly a GPS unit being *slightly* more accurate doesn’t do a thing for me. My next device has to be a) a phone b) a mini-computer and c) a GPS, in that order.

Anyway, I’ve comment-blogged enough here. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Chris Hardwick opinitude.

I was all excited to get the HTC Touch Pro from my carrier on the 17th when it releases but now I have a geek sad >:~~[…That HTC looks to have much pwnage to offer.

So, is the *potential* G2 that much better than the G1?

I lessthanthree my G1, and probably the only feature request I’d have is a soft keyboard, but that’s supposed to be coming with Cupcake.

From the brief view of the *Magic*, I don’t think I like the new design as much.
