I am a big Google user. I use Gmail, Calendar, Task and etc. I needed a new phone, and found out HTC Magic which is running Android fits my requirement.
I bought HTC Magic from Celcom. Since they are the first one to bring Android here officially. Behold people, do not be cheated. HTC Magic from Celcom does NOT include Google Services. Meaning, the phone does not have Gmail, Calendar, Market and Maps. The phone is as good as a brick! If you are not a heavy Google user and just need the phone to SMS, Call or occasionally need to throw it at a dog, then this phone is for you.
It's a nice slim phone, but I can't believe how dumb SIS and Celcom are to bring a phone to Malaysia without Google Services. I should have done more research before buying this phone. I really thought it came with Google Services after reading all the reviews.
So people, please be caution. Do NOT buy HTC Magic from Celcom if you are looking at using Google App with it. You are better off buying it from Lelong or something.
Oh yeah, btw, I am selling it... any takers?

I feel your pain man since I am in the same situation as yours. Indonesian's HTC Magic also distributed by SISTech. There is NO WAY to install Google Apps on this phone.
