Canadians to Get Android-Powered Smartphones

Rogers Wireless has announced the exclusive Canadian launch in June 2009 of the HTC Dream and HTC Magic smartphones, the first cellphones in Canada powered by the Google backed Android platform

"Who else but Rogers would be the first carrier to offer Canadians the first chance to join the mobile revolution with a choice of not one, but two, handsets powered by the Android platform?", said John Boynton, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Rogers Wireless. "The HTC Magic offers a responsive touch screen and the HTC Dream delivers both a touch screen and a slide out QWERTY keyboard. Both devices offer outstanding wireless internet search capabilities and a full suite of applications that run two times faster on Canada's fastest mobile network."

Rogers will release details of the launch soon.
