If you’re looking to get the dirt on the next Android handset, check out this leaked service manual for the HTC Magic.  They’re mostly disassembly instructions, but there’s also a walkthroughfor reflashing the ROM if you feel like you’ll be doing some extra tinkering. The major specs were revealed at launch, but the manual shows some of the real nitty-gritty, and is worth a gander if you’re thinking about picking up an HTC Magic when it’s released on Vodafone this spring. Keep in mind this is an early draft, last updated on January 14th., so some things might have changed since then, and more may change still before launch.  The HTC MAX 4G’s service manual also slipped through the gates, if you want a closer look.
