HTC Magic Mobile Phone - Cheap Google Android from Vodafone

With Android enabled mobile phones being the next big thing, HTC claim that the T-Mobile G1 phone is the thing of the past. HTC have always had a very 'techy' following and the HTC Magic mobile phone provides enough cutting edge features to keep the old school happy, whilst bringing in a whole new demographic due to its simplicity.Exclusively Available on Vodafone

The HTC Magic's 'huuuuuge' touch screen matches the iphone's and with a whole world of open source android applications its geek factor, and feature factor equally mean that the HTC Magic will pave the way for the future of mobile phones.

Why should you buy an HTC Magic?

It uses Google's Android as its operating system.

The 3G phone has HSDPA support at 7.2Mbps and a Wi-Fi connection.

The camera is 3.2 megapixels.

Built-in GPS and a digital compass.

Easy access to Google's online application suite such as Mail, Docs, Maps and Search.

The HTC Magic is going to be a Vodafone exclusive release in the UK and around Europe and will again be co-branded by Google. The G1 was a brave design, with its unorthodox chin and oddly satisfying keyboard slide mechanism, but the Magic sticks to far more conventional design philosophy and in doing so, has reduced weight and increased attractiveness. The lozenge-shaped phone weighs 118 grams, is a reasonable 13mm thick and the 3.2” screen displays at a resolution of 320x480.

With the release of the music application Spotify, the HTC Magic throws another curve ball in to the mix. With some of the recent debates over the iphone application version and the costs involved for the consumer, many people have breathed a sign of relief with the news that the android version will be free.
