'solid phone'

'At 59 x 107 x 13.4mm and weighing 118g it's one of the smallest and lightest phones around that features a screen above 3.5in. '

'Even still, the myTouch 4G is, without a doubt, one of T-Mobile's best smartphones. '

'The latest powerhouse Android phone, the T-Mobile myTouch 4G ($199 with contract) is the best smartphone experience T-Mobile has to offer. '

'The phone is incredibly snappy, both in the browser (over Wi-Fi especially) and throughout the software.'

'Oh, yup, the T-Mobile myTouch 4G has become a super hot new released phone on Amazon, more and more people are falling in love with it like crazy, so I think I must share it with you guys today. '

'While the phone feels a bit heavy in the hand at 165g (5.8 ounces), it doesn't feel as bulky in your pocket due to its smooth rounded edges.'

'The Surround is another solid smartphone offering from HTC. '

'It also has the new Internet Explorer Mobile which is a huge improvement over the earlier versions. '

'excellent entertainment phone'

'superb phone'

'Surprisingly fast interface'

'straight Android camera interface'

'Navigation is identical to the previous phone, the touchscreen gestures are intuitive and the Magic responds to these well.'

'Short on juice Battery life is acceptable but not outstanding, not least because the Magic is always chatting away with the internet to deliver and receive your emails.'

'in most instances touching the screen is easier.'

'Streaming video looked impressive though, or at least it did once we'd discovered the 'watch in high quality' button in the menu.'
