♥ Princessa's Royal Diary ♥ - Royalty has never been so PINK!

These days blogging isn't about sitting down at a computer/notebook and typing down ones' thoughts. These days it's about interactivity, communication. It is no longer a journal of ones' thoughts and memories, it's about being part of the world around you.

In fact, blogging isn't just writing on a "blog" anymore - there's Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, and etc. And that's where blogging's ideal mobile phones come in.

Ever since the launch of HTC Dream I've been fascinated by the Android platform - yes, I like it more than the iPhone. The only real problem with the Dream is the... Erm... Well... Battery life actually. Basically that's the only thing that's holding me back from grabbing one off the shelves.

But no, this isn't about the Dream, it's the HTC Magic that is the star of this show.

Admittedly, I am bias when it comes to Android. I've devoted my feelings towards this platform since the day I attending the launch of the Dream. However, as a soon to be ex-writer of a tech publication, it is important to be un-bias towards the products when doing a review (like that's ever going to happen).

Love is most definitely in the air right now. I'm totally in love with the HTC Dream - it's the ideal mobile surfing device, in my opinion at least. Only pity right now is that I'm a StarHub subscriber and the phone seems to be exclusive to SingTel.

The price of purchasing it without a line is a little steep with the salary I'm commanding. Hopefully the price will drop in the near future or the phone will be made available at StarHub, only then will I truly be able to own one.

It's been a week since this review unit was sent over (thanks to Gina from The Right Spin). Unfortunately, the problem with the StarHub mobile broadband was only resolved yesterday. Without the ability to connect, the phone is pretty much pointless.

I remember the first mobile communicating device I had was a Motorola pager (the black bulky one before memo jazz). That was back when I was in Secondary School, which, if you think, is quite pathetic since these days even primary school kids carry mobile phones.

But yes, back then, having a pager was considered pretty "cool".

Those were the days when you received a page and you searched high and low for a pay phone to call back - pay phones that accepted only ten cent coins, to various coins, to phone cards!

Still remember the numeric codes used to represent words?
