hey just ordered the new HTC Magic+ that is being offered by rogers. Any reviews on this phone? and is their anything that might stop the phone from being rooted? thanks
 
just got the phone, theirs not that many rogers apps on their and their is plenty of space. Its a really quick and sturdy phone in my opinion. Really enjoying it so far.
 
I have a Rogers HTC Magic 1.6 I want to upgrade it to the Sense. I do not use Rogers services. I live in Asian and use a China Unicom SIM card. Can I update to the Sense from the Rogers website? Or will that brick my phone? Thanks

Dont!!!!! If you're running 1.6 that means that you have a rooted phone. Updating with the Rogers update will remove your Root access and you will not be able to get it back. I'm sure if you look around you will be able to find a ROM that is using HTC Sense and flash that onto your phone instead. BTW, Sense is not all that HTC makes it out to be.

Sorry Gbd I made an error. My HTC Magic has the 1.5 system not the 1.6. I apologise for the misinformation. When I turn the phone on it displays "Rogers". I checked again and it is running 1.5

My concern is that as I use the phone in China I assume it is unlocked. If I download the Sense system I am afraid it will lock up the phone.

I should tell you I am not a tech type guy. I hope you can help me with this issue. Thanks very much
