Is HTC trying to committ suicide? it stoppped HTC p3400i range, which had not competition at that price point..
then it came up with via at 5000/- rs. higher tag.. and also it decided not to give a mobile pouch with that... nothing new in viva for that extra 5k. just a flow-touch or something UI that is more of a memory hog,,, so i need to disable it for my normal use..

IF HTC wants to make it big in india, it should reintroduce the p3400i price line..

I agree with the above commentor - The HTC Magic sold here is a 30k brick, almost. it can do the same things are the samsung star. The entire range of Android Apps are not available to you and nither can u install anything worthwhile - without the Market.

these phone also cnnot be rooted. wonder what we are gonna do.

HTC and Airtel had cheated Indian customers. No google apps and no Market access.
Only way to achieve this is by reflashing OS on your handset but the version of phone released in India cannot be rooted.

Some developers are trying to root the dreaded SPL.
Till then wait and watch.
