Long live the HTC Magic. For some out there, the HTC Magic may have been your first leap into the Android platform and many are still making use of the device today. Vodafone UK is well aware of that fact and as such, have started pushing out the Android 2.2.1 update for it. As noted on the Vodafone UK forums: Android 2.2.1 will give customers a number of improvements including: latest Gmail...

 In an interesting move, Vodafone UK has discontinued sales of the HTC Magic. According to a Vodafone rep:Unfortunately the HTC Magic is now end of life, and we don't have stock of that phone.Vodafone UK's decision to stop selling the HTC Magic contrasts with T-Mobile and Rogers' stance with the HTC Magic. T-Mobile still heavily advertises the myTouch 3G and has recently introduced a myTouch 3G 1...

 Don't get jealous. HTC has made the HTC Sense UI available to the HTC Magic...in Taiwan. The custom Sense UI which makes the HTC Hero the best Android phone currently on the market is now available to Chunghwa Telecom customers with an HTC Magic. There's really no telling when (if, ever) HTC Sense will roll out to Magics around the world but if it does happen, the lifespan of the Magic will be...

HTC CEO Peter Chou has just revealed that HTC's Second Android Device, the HTC Magic (or T-Mobile myTouch 3G or Google Ion), has just surpassed 1 million units sold. The Magic was launched in many parts across the world in April but just launched in the US this August. The HTC Magic is a definite success for HTC and we can assume that they hope that the HTC Hero (which just launched in Taiwan)...

And now finally after waiting half a year and seeing the Magic launch all over the world, the myTouch 3G is available stateside. Go out to your local brick and mortar T-Mobile store to get your hands on the Second Android Device for the US and don't forget to bring $199.99 (with new 2...

 We don't know how they did it but the guys at Gizmodo managed to get the T-Mobile G1, myTouch 3G and HTC Hero all together in one place, at the same time and get pictures of it. Don't they just look like one big happy family?The T-Mobile G1, as much as we love it, sticks out like a sore thumb to us. It just doesn't have as clean of lines as the Hero or as svelte a shape as the myTouch 3G. But...

 The Revolution came to Rogers only a month ago, with the Canadian launch of both the HTC Dream and HTC Magic, and joining the Revolution now has already become more affordable--Rogers just announced that they'll be dropping the price of both the HTC Magic and HTC Dream to a mere $99.99 (new 3-year contract applies).This is a wonderful price to jump to Android with but one can't help but wonder...

You can't stop the inevitable. Whenever there's a new gadget to be had, cue the unboxing videos on youtube! The T-Mobile myTouch 3G just received its glory and there are a few nice surprises. The unboxing can actually be called an unzipping because the 'box' that houses the myTouch 3G actually seems to be a 'travel case' that is zipped up.Everything else is fairly par for the course: the nifty,...

T-Mobile UK Announcing Next Android Phone as G1 Touch ?

 This is odd. According to T-Mobile UK's twitter account, the Second Android Device on T-Mobile UK will be called the G1 Touch. We thought all along that the Second Android Device (the HTC Magic) was called the MyTouch 3G? Are they going to call it two different names in the US and the UK? Or is the G1 Touch an entirely different device?We're still thinking that the 'G1 Touch' will be the MyTouch...

 HTC CEO Peter Chou expects the HTC Magic to ship its millionth unit within "one to two months". Mind you, it's not exactly the same as 1 million units sold but HTC is very pleased with the current sales of the HTC Magic and expects it to beat many industry analysts' predictions. We guess tough economy or not, people still want their Android!This is great news because it shows that the world is...

 We've already seen the MyTouch 3G with T-Mobile branding. Heck, we've even seen the box art for the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (more affectionately known as the HTC Magic or Google Ion). So by now, it's absolutely no secret that the MyTouch 3G is going to come to T-Mobile. The question is, when?The WSJ reports that T-Mobile's Second Android Device will be announced next week and be made available some...

 If you were at all wondering what US carrier the MyTouch 3G aka the HTC Magic was going to land on and you completely missed the previous obvious hints, well then this would be news to you, the MyTouch 3G is going to be a T-Mobile device!What IS news is that this is the first time an actual T-Mobile branded MyTouch 3G has been seen which should mean that a release is sooner rather than later....

 Tmonews is reporting that they expect the T-Mobile myTouch 3G aka the HTC Magic to release in June--yeah, as in this month. We've previously confirmed that the myTouch 3G will be reaching T-Mobile sooner than later and Tmonews cites reasons for such a quick launch to be the new iPhone 3G S and the Palm Pre, two handsets that are quickly taking mind share (and surely market share) from potential...

 And the T-Mobile myTouch 3G has been leaked. Well not really. We only got pictures of the T-Mobile myTouch 3G box art (and really, it's as art-sy as it gets) but the myTouch 3G box art confirms what we've previously thought/known: the HTC Magic is going to come to T-Mobile and it's going to be re-branded the still horrendous name of myTouch 3G.The T-Mobile myTouch 3G will be available in three...

 The Canadian Countdown for Android just hit zero and that means the HTC Dream and HTC Magic is now available for purchase to our friendly neighbors to the north. Oddly, when we hit the Rogers website, the 'Revolution' page isn't clickable--we couldn't find any more information on pricing, length-of-contract, etc.But we do have some leaked information on Canadian HTC Dream and Magic pricing...

Google Ion AKA Free HTC Magic Already Posted on eBay

 This was to be expected. After Google gave away free HTC Magics aka the Google Ion at Google I/O, people were bound to put this special edition, possibly Android Dev Phone 2 onto eBay. Users hit quick and capitalized on the lack of an official US HTC Magic to maximize profit--it seems that more than a few people are looking to make a quick buck rather than incorporate a wonderful phone into...

The free Android phone is not a regular Android Dev Phone 1 but rather a Dev Phone version of the HTC Magic! Considering that the HTC Magic isn't even an 'official' phone in the USA, we think you guys hit the jackpot!The free HTC...
