Default dissapointed at Vodafone and their semi advertised lack of memory on the magic

Hi All.
I'm starting this thread to avoid discussing this in the original thread about the lack of memory on the Vodafone version of the HTC Magic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=530162&page=5

Here's what I posted there.
----------------------------
Hi All.
I've got a Australian Vodafone version of the magic.
I was very dissapointed after I used the unit for a while.
I loved the OS, but the displaying of things didnt seem smooth enough.
After I found out the phone has less memory than the standard HTC magic, i got pissed off and felt duped by vodafone.
I believe it is slightly deceiving for Vodafone to do this, and they should clearly say the phone has less memory that the HTC brand

Anyways, long story short.
I called vodafone australia, and after some time on the phone, I managed to talk to someone who arranged a return of my phone and cancellation of the contract.

I can give you guys the details of the person after I return mine and everything goes smooth (just in case, dont wanna piss him off before I sort mine out)

Cheers

I still haven't returned my phone, because I'm waiting for a letter and prepaid express post satchel from Vodafone.

In the meantime, I'm looking to restore to original condition with my nandroid backup.

I followed the instructions here:

well, I followed an auction last week, and the I believe it sold for $660
I'd like to get a hero but they're not being sold yet.

I think the best option for me is return it. I'd rather play it safe.
I can always get a magic again from VF or anyone else if i feel like it.
