HTC Magic (Codename: HTC Sapphire) is a smartphone designed by HTC. It is the second handset by HTC that uses the Android operating system (the first being the HTC Dream). It was unveiled by Vodafone on 17 February 2009 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.[1] It will be available in April, initially exclusive to Vodafone customers in the UK, Spain, Germany and France (SFR) and non-exclusively in Italy, with more countries to follow.The device will be available in North America through T-Mobile USA.
Vodafone has exclusive rights to sell the HTC Magic, but only in the markets they service. At the 2009 Mobile World Congress, reps at the HTC kiosk said no US carriers were confirmed. However at the same convention, Google demonstrated a few new features of the Android operating system on an HTC Magic with T-Mobile branding. The T-Mobile branded version of the Magic equipped with T-Mobile USA's 3G frequency bands was passed by the FCC on March 26, 2009.
