The HTC Magic (known as the T-Mobile myTouch 3G in the US) 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] and went on sale in Spain on 27 April[2], in the UK and Taiwan in May 2009,[3] and in Singapore, Hong Kong and The Netherlands in June 2009.[4] It will become more widely available to customers Germany (Vodafone), France (SFR), Philippines (SMART Communications), India (Airtel) and non-exclusively in Italy and Sweden, with more countries to follow.[5]

The device was released in Canada by Rogers Wireless on 2 June 2009. [6][7] Preorders for the smartphone in the United States through T-Mobile began on July 8, 2009[8]. In Russia, there was information that it will be available[9] via Russian HTC official online store for about 770 USD[10], but soon HTC announced that it decided to sell another Android-powered device instead of HTC Magic[11]. According to media reports May 2009 the phone will be available in the Scandinavian countries "soon", without giving any date.[12]

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.[citation needed] However at the same convention, Google demonstrated a few new features of the Android operating system on an HTC Magic with T-Mobile branding.[13] 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. [14]

Software

The HTC Magic runs the Android Operating System and comes pre-installed with a Webkit based browser. Other pre-installed software enable access to various Google services, including Gmail, Google search, Google Maps, Google Talk and YouTube.[5]
