While we were all expecting the HTC Magic to go on sale in the UK first, it turns out that the first country to get was Spain. Vodafone Spain started selling it there earlier today after a countdown marking the event.
Countdown Complete! You can purchase your HTC Exclusive Magic on the Vodafone Online Store.
The HTC Magic is powered by a 528MHz Qualcomm MSM7201a processor and Google Android. It comes with quad-band (850/900/1800/1900MHz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band (900/2100MHz) HSDPA/WCDMA connectivity, a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen display, 192MB RAM and 512MB ROM, built-in GPS, 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, a 3.2MP camera with auto-focus, a microSDHC expansion slot, a digital compass, and a 1340mAh battery. Unlike the T-Mobile G1, it does not come with a QWERTY keyboard but does have a trackball.
Vodafone Spain is offering the HTC Magic for between €19 and €199 depending on the service plan.
Vodafone UK will start offering the HTC Magic on May 5th. It will also go on sale in France on May 6th through SFR according to a teaser page.
