Mobile World Congress: Android HTC Magic (G2) Phone Unveiled

by Sam Dean - Feb. 17, 2009Comments (2)

Announcements are arriving out of the Mobile World Congress going on in Spain, and one of the big pieces of news is the successor to the T-Mobile G1 Android phone: The HTC Magic (G2). It will be released by Vodafone, and is sleeker and thinner than the G1 phone, which HTC also does the hardware for. The thinness is achieved through the loss of the hardware keyboard, though, and HTC is retaining the G1's proprietary headphone jack. Also, the HTC Magic won't be available in the U.S. initially. It will arrive first in the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, France and Italy.

You can find pictures and video of the HTC Magic here.  According to Mobile Burn, the phone has a 3.2-inch HVGA (320x480 pixels) TFT capacitive touchscreen, video recording, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and trackball navigation. The HTC Magic is based on the next-generation "Cupcake" version of Android, and, like its predecessor, focuses on many Google applications and tools. It's set to arrive in April.
