The Boy Genius Report has a habit of breaking news pretty reliably so I think it's safe to say that rumours regarding the G2 can finally be put to rest with a report that the HTC Magic is actually going to be the next Android phone. A quick search on the Vodafone website revealed a press release which confirms that the HTC Magic will be a Vodafone exclusive and should be available in Europe from this April. According to the press release, specifications are as follows:
- HSPA/UMTS/GPRS/EDGE
- GSM Quad band
- Digital camera (resolution): 3.2 megapixels
- Colour display: 3.2", 320x480 pixels, touchscreen
- Bluetooth/USB interface
- Internal memory: 512 MB Flash, 192 MB RAM
- Memory card slot: microSD (HC)
- Other: GPS, digital compass, motion sensor
Whilst there doesn't seem to be much of a difference in specifications between this and the G1, photos on BoyGeniusReport show the phone to be much sleeker and slimmer, thanks no doubt to the exclusion of a full keyboard. Let's just hope that this phone's touchscreen keyboard is up to the job.
