Sapphire available in Spain

Today, Vodafone Spain has announced they will be releasing the Magic in a few hours, no word on prices/contracts yet.
They have been teasing on their blog for some days now, and they now tease some more with a countdown to release ( http://tienda.vodafone.es/ofertas/htc_magic/ ), scheduled to hit 0 at 17:00, local time.
Let's hope they put a reasonable price tag on it, though it's definetly doubtful.
Cheers!
Edit: pricing is now available ( http://www.unandroideenvodafone.com/Notaprensa.pdf )

Any chance of finding an unlocked version of this in Spain any time soon?

Vodafone is not selling them without a contract, though I'm preety sure these fellas will find their way onto ebay in no time.

Magic - purchased in Vodafone
Hi guys
Just to say that I have purchased in Tienda On-Line of Vodafone my Magic. I am really impressed, it is a great device.
I am still learning and starting to play, but it looks like it is going to be very funny.
BTW: they recommend strongly to contract the flat navigation tariff to avoid billshock, but it is only a recomendation...

Howto Unlock
How do i remove my simlock from my htc magic. Is there special hardware equipment needed.
I understand that the simlock mechanism is separate from the firmware mechanism.
Can somebody give met technical details?

They are already unlocked.
Vodafone edition of the HTC Magic works with all carriers, so no need to unlock

does that apply to germany as well?

celester340 - if you are in the USA you can get an unlocked Magic from ImportGSM.com - thats where I got my Rogers Magic and using it on AT&T with full 3G. If you are not in the US, the Vodafone units are the way to go..many on-line places to get those.
Regards - John

And if you are with T-Mobile US, your only choice is the Google Ion as of now. By month end, T-Mobile will release its version of the HTC Magic (myTouch 3G).

i got my phone from ebay UK YAY!!!!

Get a locked one and get it unlocked.
The simplest way

From what I have heard this is the T Mobile G2.

Interesting.. some speculation on a UK release of mid may for the G2 on T-Mobile, but I guess we'll have to wait and see and there didn't seem to be any confirmed info on that!

I saw a picture of it on the net recently that seemed to indicate it might have a 5MP camera

I thought Black Magic was a sinister practise

Voda UK will not sell the black Magic, they decided they only want white! I believe you can get black Magics in Ireland, Germany, Spain and somewhere else, can't remember where that is tho!

I Need a Rogers Branded Magic

Hello everyone, I'm brand new to XDA, but heard so many things I finally decided to join.
After seeing the Hero's interface I decided I cannot wait until it's released. It'll probably be even longer until the NAM 3G version comes dragging along.
I want to buy a Rogers Magic in the meantime so I can use it on AT&T and flash the Hero Rom on it.
The only problem is I can't find one that I can actually buy and have shipped to the US from Canada.
Any ideas? Recommended sites or sellers?
Thanks

Only place I know of other than Rogers. But I never really looked, just bought it from Rogers.
Sorry that's not the Rogers branded, It was listed as Rogers a few weeks ago must have changed suppiers or something.

Thanks for the site, but that one isn't the US/Rogers 3G banded one with 288MB.
How do you buy it directly from Rogers if you live in the US?

I have what your looking for if interested?

Please check your pm or call me for I have what your looking for 99% brand new with not one scratch roger's magic that yes does work on att 3g flawlessly complete with original box and all accessories 2 weeks old today to sell. They sell for over $600.00 and I would do to give you an idea around $520.00 shipped. Thx, Kev

Keep a sharp eye on ebay. I bought one of the first few Rogers' devices for $475 shipped, brand new.

To the OP, contact the guy that has posted above me. He has one he is selling since he is on T-Mobile US and needs the 1700 band.

Where to get an htc magic from orange Switerland

I have been looking for a customized htc magic in black. I know i could get one from rogers on ebay, but it comes preloded with some rogers applications. Orange Switzerland seems to be selling one that is totally unbranded. Does anyone know where i can find one online.
Edit: I already checked ebay and they didn't have any.

Bought mine in Mobilezone (Zürich): unbranded Black HTC. They bundle it with any existing contract of yours. However, if you buy a Rogers via eBay you can flash it to whatever you like... so why worry? Maybe I didn't get the point.
Regards,
Frank

Thanks for the website, but i don' quite understand what you mean by:

They sell the devices and add the contract. If you subsrcibed to orange and are eligible (from orange) for a new device within your contract, you will get a discount on the branded device.

I've got an HTC Magic from Orange
Look here:

And here:
http://www.digitec.ch/ProdukteDetails2.aspx?Reiter=Bilder&Artikel=162828
Both unbranded, the first one the Orange Version. But look out. The lady at the callcenter told me that they're selling both 288MB and 192MB versions.
And yes, it is, totally unbranded. Just HTC Stuff on it.

@Isilmalith
i looked at the site, and it is exactly what i am looking for. However, it is a tad too expensive. i was looking for one at about 450 CHF.
Do you know where i can find this phone locked but without a contract?
I have means of unlocking it myself.

Digitec is the cheapest source for a Phone without contract, there is no way to get a HTC Magic for 450.-, unless you find some at ebay or www.ricardo.ch (which is much more popular in switzerland).
Are you from switzerland?

no i am not in switzerland, in the US and it is not on ebay

I am in the same boat. I want a Magic that can be rooted and work in the US on TMOBILE. If anyone has one for sale or know where I can find one, let me know.
