Geeks liket his phone, and don't like Microsoft so much - know you're market!!! Dusted off old XP machine to update, and went fine. New UI seems to suck up more battery, though. TIP: Updated but still no connection? pop the battery out then back in. Unimpressed with lack of Linux/Mac support. Geeks liket his phone, and don’t like Microsoft so much – know you’re market!!!

The Sense UI on the Magic is simply brilliant. I got the Android platform for development reasons, but it was always a little embarrassing when iPhone owning peers would ask to look at it. While it's very functional, it's very utilitarian. With Sense UI...holy cripes absolutely beautiful (and brilliantly usable). I had been just waiting until I could buy one of the newer phones (X10, Nexus One once it goes to Roger's bands, etc), so this is a super pleasant development.

I copied the zip files via MicroSD and then installed the first zip - all went well as per instruction. However, I've tried the second zip file (the acutally Sense UI) and nothing - I am now left with a phone with no operating system and all it wants to do is power on and jump between the Rogers and HTC screen. Called tech support last night to be told it's my problem. Don't support Linux etc... So I've been forced to update this mandatory upgrade and they won't provide me with a solution to get my phone back. It was working fine before they started interfering! I asked if I could send it in for someone to do the update and told it's not a rogers update but HTC and they don't handle it. Kinda strange it says Rogers HTC Magic but they don't want anything to do with it. So I've a phone that doesn't work and a contract that they are happy still billing me for! Rogers Tech support SUCKS EGGS!

In the previous rom, you would just hold down the talk button for a few secs and the mic would pop up... but i can't figure out how to start it on the new rom.. any suggestions?

The ROM these scammers are trying to peddle is a *downgrade* for some people, and they are holding us for ransom until we do it. They spouted a bunch of lies about safety being the #1 concern. Really Rogers? So why didn't you update to 1.6 (with the 911 fix) last year like the rest of the world? Oh that's right, you need a way to lock people into your terrible non-open source (try asking for the code) software with included useless apps. Trying to lock Dream (yes, it can run 2.1) owners into another 3 year contract with a "free" Magic just as the competition is increasing, very clever. No thanks, I'll take the android 2 upgrade via the internet community, they seem to care more about your customers than you do! @Ringo: Can't you ust tell then you have an iPhone? They seem to have no trouble consistently lieing to us, so turn the tables. It’s not an “update” if you are running android 1.6 and rely on apps that use it for your job.

I got a way to update the phone even with windows 7. A Rogers tech support rep will email it if you ask for it. I just got off the phone with Rogers.
