Google gave away to all conference attendees an HTC Magic with a 1-month voice/data service from T-Mobile. So far, the phone was only available in Europe from Vodaphone affiliates.
Earlier this afternoon, Google started giving away the HTC Magic Android smartphone to all conference attendees, including press, bloggers, etc.
The phone which supports Android 1.5 (cupcake) also comes with a temporary 1-month voice/data plan from T-Mobile (which does not carry the HTC Magic yet) that includes:
- 2,000 anytime nationwide (US) minutes (no international calling)
- 1,500 outgoing text messages (SMS)
- 1,000 incoming text messages (SMS)
- Unlimited data
After the 1-month trial period, T-Mobile is supposed to contact me to purchase their service. I’m already on T-Mobile, using a G1.
It’ll be interesting to compare both Android-phones, despite my decision to keep using the G1 for its poor but present physical keyboard!
Here’s the letter that came with the phone:
