The HTC Magic will launch with both Vodafone and 3 Mobile, though close inspection reveals the handsets available will differ slightly between the carriers.
New Zealanders will finally be able to buy a mobile phone based on Google's Android operating system in June, with Vodafone revealing this morning it had secured a local exclusive to sell HTC's upcoming Magic handset.
Vodafone has announced pricing for the soon-to-be-released HTC Magic, and its price is significantly cheaper than competitor 3 Mobile.
The LiMo Foundation launched its first mobile handsets, which run on the Linux-based Mobile LiMo Platform, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona yesterday.
HTC today launched the hotly anticipated Android-powered HTC Magic, with launch partner 3 Mobile announcing its pricing for the phone.
The amount of attention the HTC Dream gets when I flash it around in New Zealand is quite remarkable; and the HTC Magic on Vodafone seems set to get even more.
Google's Android operating platform is gaining momentum, with manufacturers HTC, Samsung, Motorola and Sony Ericsson all soon to release Android-powered mobiles into the market.
Parts of the phone are as the name suggests, magic, but the absence of outstanding multimedia jeopardises the success of this latest Android.
HTC shows just how customisable Google's Android platform is, delivering a swag of home screen widgets out of the box. We can't wait to get our hands on the Hero.
While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.
If you're prepared to manage the memory and train yourself to use the keyboard, then there are few WiMo phones sexier than the Diamond2.
