Vodafone Australia Announces Android Phone Launch Details
Vodafone Australia has confirmed that customers will be able to purchase the new HTC Magic mobile device from Vodafone stores around the country from Monday, June 15. Vodafone will be offering the HTC Magic in either black or white - the white version being exclusive to Vodafone in Australia.
Additionally, Vodafone’s first Android-powered mobile will feature software enhancements such as Firmware-Over-The Air (FOTA) and the ability to geo-tag pictures. The device will come pre-loaded with Google’s suite of services such a Gmail, Google Maps and Google Search and Vodafone will also give customers a 24-month warranty with the device.
With FOTA, Vodafone customers will always have the very latest Android software on their HTC Magic device as Vodafone will push out firmware upgrades to ensure any improvements, developed over the coming months, are automatically downloaded onto customers’ devices. This ensures customers will always enjoy the best possible user experience with the Vodafone HTC Magic mobile device.
Edward Goff, Head of Consumer Markets, Vodafone Australia said, “There has been a lot of hype about the HTC Magic and we are sure that this hot phone will cast a spell over our customers once they get their hands on one. Today, we’re delighted to confirm to our customers that they will be able to purchase the HTC Magic with features exclusive to Vodafone, from our stores around the country from Monday, June 15.”
Goff concluded; “We are very excited to bring this cool new phone to the Australian market. Our customers want an unbeatable mobile internet experience so they can make the most of their time while out and about, and the HTC Magic certainly delivers this and is the perfect addition to Vodafone’s unbeatable range of touch-screen smartphones.”
Vodafone will make further details available to customers in the coming weeks.
