The Indian customers should be very happy these days, as one of the most important integrated telecom services provider, Bharti Airtel, has just announced a HTC Magic launch party that is to be held in their country. And everyone is invited, of course.

It’s obviously just a manner of speaking, but Indian people have many reasons to be very happy, as they will have a HTC cell phone at their disposal, on one hand, and an Android-based device, on the other hand, which is actually the first such device to be sold in India.



It’s a very smart move for HTC, as the Indian mobile market is the second in the world, which means the success is guaranteed.

“Airtel has been at the forefront of innovation and customer delight in the Indian telecom sector. Being the first to bring the Android powered HTC Magic to India further underscores our commitment to enrich the communication experience of all Airtel users”, said Raghunath Mandava, Chief Marketing Officer, Mobile Services, Bharti Airtel. “The HTC Magic presents a powerful mobile internet and multimedia experience that should drive the uptake of accessing the internet over mobile amongst Airtel users.”



The customers of Bharti Airtel will be able to enjoy applications like Hello Tune Manager, In-mobile search and City Search, Mobshare, Portofolio Manager, and Weather Channel on their HTC Magic. As for the features, the Indian version of the HTC Magic will include the Android 1.5 operating system, a 3.2 inches HVGA touch sensitive display, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and video recording capabilities, 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS functionalities, G-sensor, web browser and email.

The phone is available in a red and black version at the Airtel Relationship Centers and at the authorized HTC resellers from the 17 most important cities of India. It is expected to sell for a price of 29,900 (approximately $616).
