It seems as though HTC has been busy.  Two phones released just yesterday, the Diamond2 and the Touch Pro2.  Now, they’ve made magic.

At the GSMA 2009 show in Barcelona, HTC pulled a new rabbit out of their hat.  Well, you might recognize the HTC Android phone as the G2, but the new pulled-out-of-a-hat-with-doves name for this is the Magic.  The HTC Magic is exclusive to Vodafone in Europe right now, and there isn’t too much information leaking from the magician’s hat about it just yet. 

What we do know about it is that it will feature HSPA, HSDPA/WCDMA (900/2100MHz), WiFi, and have GPS connectivity.  There is also going to be a 3.2 mega-pixel camera (no flash), and what will make many happy—Cupcake will also be there.  The Magic has a 3.2 inch HVGA touch screen along with a trackball navigator.  However, kind of odd, it doesn’t have a slide out-QWERTY keyboard like the T-Mobile G1.  With it, you’ll also have several email options (of course Gmail is one of them), as well as POP3 and IMAP accounts.  Customers will be able to access the Android Market and download apps and games for their smartphone.

The Magic will appear in two colors: the UK, Spain and France market will be seeing it in white, Germany gets it in black, and Italy has a choice of either color.  No set word on pricing just yet.  HTC is just saying that the Magic is available “exclusive to Vodafone customers initially in UK, Spain, Germany and France (SFR) and non-exclusively in Italy” with more countries to follow later.  I guess that means we U.S. folks have to wait a tad.  We’ll keep you updated with more information as it comes in.
