htcFor all of you out there that have been eagerly awaiting the upcoming launch of the second phone to use the Google Android operating system, dubbed the “HTC Magic”, your wait is almost up! Within just a few short weeks, May 5th to be exact, the HTC Magic will make its appearence in stores across Europe. No release date has been given yet for the US, although industry experts seem to think that the Europe launch will be a test market for US demand.

“The carrier said the phone will be free when customers sign up for a two-year contract with fees of about $51 per month. The plan includes unlimited web use, 700 minutes of calls, 250 text messages and unlimited calls to landlines and other Vodafone customers.”

So how many of you are going to purchase one of theses super Android smartphones? The price is nice (free), for those that are willing to enter the two year contract (compared to the price that the G1 cost in the US even with a two year contract). I expect that these will be hot little numbers, and I can’t imagine that they won’t be far behind in releasing them for the US Market. I mean, we can’t have our European friends having cool new phones that we can’t get!
