Black Magic: The HTC Magic In Black (Official)
Yesterday, the Mobile Cowboys go their hands on a Black version of the HTC Magic and man did that thing look A-MAZE-ING:
But see that “HTC” branding in the upper right of the phone (lower left of picture)? Some thought this was an indication that the HTC Magic in Black might be branded differently, get a new name and head to a new carrier in a new location. Why? Because the WHITE HTC Magic is plastered with the Vodafone logo – top and center:
Well today, Engadget got their own peek at the Black HTC Magic – which should really just be called Black Magic – and it confirmed the existence of the Black Magic and ALSO had that HTC logo nestled up their on its face:
They agreed it looked stellar and got some clarification for us:
We chatted it up with an on-hand representative who confirmed that the handsets on display weren’t absolutely finalized, and that when launched exclusively on Vodafone in Europe (you read that correctly), the Voda logo would be proudly plastered on. He stated that there were no immediate plans for selling an unlocked one in Europe or abroad, but that’s just the standard line given when a carrier has yet to get their special toy.
Mystery solved. Although after a certain period of time exclusivity could run out and it could be “Mystery changed”. Either way, I’m really digging the Black Magic and if I had to choose between the Black/White, it wouldn’t even be a contest. How about you?
Head on over to EngadgetMobile for more pictures.
