Vodafone and HTC have announced the HTC Magic smartphone, Vodafone's first Android-powered mobile, which will be available in the spring. This T-Mobile G1-like (minus the QWERTY keyboard) Android phone is exclusively to Vodafone in the UK, Spain, Germany and France (SFR) and available on a non-exclusive basis in Italy. More info on the upcoming Android phone:
The introduction of the HTC Magic is the result of a successful relationship between Vodafone and HTC, and Vodafone?s joining, late last year, of the Open Handset Alliance.
A tablet-style device, with a sleek design and unprecedented compactness for a smartphone featuring the Android platform, the HTC Magic enables a superior mobile internet experience, providing broad flexibility for personalisation via the application-rich Android Market. Available in white in the UK, Spain and France, black in Germany and in both colours in Italy, the HTC Magic will be for sale in several other Vodafone markets over the next few months.
