HTC Magic coming this week

The HTC Magic, the latest Google Android-powered phone to captivate users' attention, will finally hit the shops on 1 May.

Announced back in February at Mobile World Congress (MWC), the HTC Magic's release date has been the subject of much debate, with many different options touted or hinted at on Vodafone's website.

But users will now be able to get their hands on a shiny new device from this Friday.

IT PRO was able to carry out a first look review of the HTC Magic back in February.

At the time, Patrick Chomet, global director of Vodafone's terminals arm, said in a statement: "Following our joining of the Open Handset Alliance, we have worked very closely with HTC to bring this cool new phone to the market."

He added: "Our customers want to access a wide range of the most attractive mobile devices to help them make the most of their time - the HTC Magic helps meet that need."

We will be publishing a full review of the HTC Magic's imminent arrival as soon as we can get our hands on one.

Maggie has been a journalist since 1999, starting her career as an editorial assistant on then-weekly magazine Computing, before working her way up to senior reporter level. In 2006, just weeks before ITPro was launched, Maggie joined Dennis Publishing as a reporter. Having worked her way up to editor of ITPro, she was appointed group editor of CloudPro and ITPro in April 2012. She became the editorial director and took responsibility for ChannelPro, in 2016.

Her areas of particular interest, aside from cloud, include management and C-level issues, the business value of technology, green and environmental issues and careers to name but a few.
