If I buy a Rogers Magic to use on AT&T (now that it has US 3G), how hard would it be to reinstall the OS so that it is unbranded? Would that also unlock it or would I have to pay to sim unlock it? Do I need to register for the google developer site in order to have access to the root OS? I am just confused on what I need to do to get it fully working on AT&T. Thanks

You would have to pay around $25.00 or so to sim unlock.
I haven't seen an unbranded rogers os rom out yet, but give it a week or so and it'll probly be there. You could, I assume, flash it to jf1.5adp in the meantime. There's also the Ion rom available now, too.
Strange, I was flashing my phone all day to different roms and the rogers rom was the only one I didn't try.
I don't think you'd have to register for the google developers site to get the rom, it'll leak out eventually.
Let us know what you decide on and how it comes out.

I was hoping I could just find someone to get one in Canada and let me buy it from them, lol. I asked Rogers and they don't ship to the US.
Well bidding on the Magic is starting at ~$700 US on Ebay right now. There is a Rogers Dream with a Buy-It now price of $1017!!!
It looks like there are only a few though so give it another week and I bet the price will drop. Especially considering the price without contract is only $550 CA.

Have one on the way from a guy who bought it with contract but his hands are too big for it. Got it cheap.
