Android HTC Magic Touchscreen Now Official


The first touch screen Google Android based phone has officially been announced by HTC, and it's called the HTC Magic.

Sporting a 3.2 inch HVGA touchscreen, HDSPA, GPS, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and a trackball, the Magic is certainly looking to bring as many bells and whistles to the table while it attempts to compete with the iPhone market. A proprietary headphone jack is perhaps the only let-down of the Magic as it stands, but this has been the case for virtually all HTC phones in recent years.

Cell service provider Vodafone will be the first to unleash the HTC Magic on European markets, with others service providers to follow after an unannounced Vodafone exclusive period. North American and Pacific-Asian market release dates have yet to be announced.

Official specs are as follows:

  • Processor: Qualcomm MSM7201a, 528 MHz.
  • Memory: 512 MB ROM, 192 MB RAM.
  • Dimensions: 4.45 x 2.17 x 0.45-inches.
  • Weight: 4.18 ounces with battery.
  • Network: HSPA/WCDMA 900 / 2100 MHz (no love for the States) with 2Mbps up, 7.2 Mbps down; quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz.
  • Display: 3.2-inch TFT-LCD HVGA 480x320
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth, WiFi, mini USB, and GPS
  • Input: Trackball with Enter button, Capacitive touchscreen with on-screen keyboard (both portrait and landscape)
