I'm thinking about upgrading my Rarz2 v8 to the HTC Magic which hits the shell next month.

I've been reading on it and it seems pretty good. But, being a tech idiot, I don't know half of the tech lingo on the specs or if this is worth the money when comparing other phones for the same price. My brother says iPhone is better and that the MyTouch is a "piece of shit" and discourages me from buying this phone. He's a lot more tech savvy than I am so I guess he knows what he's talking about but then again, he does have a huge boner for Apple and Apple products so he might be a bit biased. Likewise I have a disdain for Apple because well...I just plain don't like 'em.

So some questions

Is it worth the money? Or it's just hype?

Pros? Cons?

Is it better than the new iPhone 3G? Or comparing to phones in the same price range?

Data Plan. An extra 25 dollars a month add up to 600 over a two-year contract. I don't want that. I'm not even sure what it fully entails other than letting you you surf the web. A friend of mine has a G1 and he was able to cancel this by calling T-mobile; he uses wifi to surf the web now. Yes, he can't roam any more, but it's worth the trade off since practically every where you go there's wireless internet available. Is there more to the Data plan than this? And will I be able to do the same with the MyTouch?

Should I wait for something better from T-mobile?
