By AIC Staff on June 4th, 2009 85

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

So it’s been a couple days after the Android launch in Canada by Rogers! We’ve now learned the official pricing for the HTC Dream and Magic phones, along with the 6GB/$30 data plan which has come back from the dead!

I know a lot of people have jumped on these Android units as alternatives to the iPhone. So now it’s YOUR turn to voice what you got, where you got, and if you got any sort of deal.

Just copy and paste the following text, and then answer the questions in the comments:

1. HTC Dream or Magic?
2. Voice Plan Details?
3. Data Plan Details?
4. Location of purchase (store/city)

Unboxing Video of Rogers HTC Magic

Fellow AndroidinCanada.ca reader Steven made this cool video starring his HTC Magic! Enjoy!

It’ll be very interesting to see how many of you bought phones and what you think of the Android OS so far. Let us know!

DREAM

2. Voice Plan Details?
City Fido…the old one.
plus Long Distance 100/$5….Voice Mail/Call Display/ 125 Text $11

3. Data Plan Details?
6GB $30 3 year term

4. Location of purchase (store/city)
Off Craigslist. Locked to Rogers $380 Never Used

Great phone. Love the slide out keyboard. Speed is much faster than my old HP Q9h. Fido 3G sim card worked with no problems…just added the FIDO APN info found on this forum. Everything seems to be working. Really liked that I could use the phone on FIDO without unlocking.

Suprised that each sim contact had to be added to the phone unless I missed some add all option…(a definate possibility)

Don’t like the fact that I can’t program a pause to automatically retrieve voicemail. If someone knows a fix please let me know.

E-mail works well and the browser is better than expected.

In all very happy with the purchase.

2. Voice Plan Details?
$25 Plan for 300 minutes + $5 for 1000 LD minutes
3. Data Plan Details?
500MB Value Pack w/voice mail, call display, unlimited texting for $35.00
4. Location of purchase?
Called Rogers and ordered from there.

Great phone. Only having one issue, and maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I have put in a 4GB SD card, which randomly unmounts or appears as corrupt. I can take it out and put it back in, and it’s fine. I have formatted it, then put it into the phone, and everything is fine until I copy something to it while connected to the computer. Even the computer then will come up with the warning that something might be wrong, and ask me if I want to scan for errors. If I scan for errors, the SD card unmounts from the computer, and nothing happens. If I put the SD card directly into a reader, it still comes up with the error, until I reformat again.

Not sure if there are similar problems, if it could be my SD card, or what.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Otherwise, LOVE THE PHONE so far.

1. HTC Dream or Magic? – Dream
2. Voice / Data Plan Details? – Combined Voice & Data – SP Mega Value Combo/MY5 LD – $50.00

Partial Detail Billing
MY5 + Canada Wide
Data Service Plan 500MB

4. Location of purchase (store/city) – Ordered On-line from Rogers – Home delivery to Barrie, ON

Extremely happy with phone – great features – added my own soft keyboard (htc_ime.apk) works with the accelerometer. Great free apps and lots of them. Our first “smart phone” – very impressed.

Only dislike is as many have said… no 3.5mm jack. Just ordered one off Ebay (USB Stereo Audio Adapter for HTC T-Mobile G1 @ $7.01 CDN) This adapter has HTC Ext USB standard headset connector, Mini USB power connector, 3.5mm audio connector (with in-line mic support) and 2.5mm audio connector (with in-line mic support).

Have not had any issues with it at all – touch wood!!!

I would recommend this phone to anyone.

Sorry – two more things… one disappointment – no flash for the camera rendering it useless at night and secondly, I paid $49.99 online only on a 3 year term. Rogers Plus store wanted $79.99??? Anyway – bought on line and it was delivered within 3 business days
