It looks like that Vodafone expects to release HTC Magic in Portugal in July, too, as confirmed by Vodafone itself:

Another Portuguese reader here,
I would say to expect a Portuguese translation and some portuguese-made software shortly after release, as SAPO (www.sapo.pt), which belongs to Portugal Telecom group just like TMN, and Universidade de Aveiro (Aveiro University) are going to develop some applications to Android. And expect HTC Magic to cost nearly 400€ (without contract).

Another guy from the sunny Portugal,

I have been told that the HTC Magic will also be released by Vodafone (portugal) in July.
The TMN webpage is only used to insert a contact, so when HTC Magic is released they can start spamming you… ;)

I am very happy with all these news!!! :D

I’m portuguese and looking forward to get one of these. unfortunately the website doesn’t have any info on launch dates and price.
Also I work in a HTC competitors company and don’t have any info on that.
Will update when I get more info (if I remember to do it – lol)

The price is expected to be around 400 € (560 US$).

Maybe google translator handle this news item better: http://dn.sapo.pt/inicio/ciencia/interior.aspx?content_id=1269460&seccao=Tecnologia

From what I can tell there isn’t any information on when this device will be released.

On another note which may show my android ignorance. It says that there is microsoft exchange support, which I didn’t know was a native feature to android. So they may have added it.

Ok, Portuguese reader here.

They don’t say the release date, the only thing they are doing is a pre-order. The rumors say that it will be in July, but the day is unknown. Also unknown is the price, lets see.

Everybody expected this release from Vodafone, not TMN, because the Vodafone has the exclusivity of the HTC in other country’s, but once again TMN gives a step forward.

Well, the Flash from TMN doesn´t say much.
Some Portuguese news say that the HTC magic will be launch in July in both TMN and Vodafone.
I’ll keep you posted when more information arrives.

[...] two minutes had passed after posting that Portugal was infected with Android Fever, did I read from HTC that the HTC Magic is now heading to India via Bharti. If it wasn’t [...]
