The first Android-based device, the T-Mobile G1, might have not pronounced iPhone’s death warrant - just like numerous other so-called iPhone-killers before it failed to, but it has done a decent job as a “commercial prototype.”

It is now official that HTC Magic will be the world’s second Android phone. But the phone will be a Vodafone exclusive.  It will soon become available in UK, Germany, Spain, France and Italy (won’t be tied to a particular operator in Italy), though it’s not known exactly when.

The Magic has a 3.2-inch QVGA touch screen and, barring its lack of a physical QWERTY keyboard, closely mimics the G1.  The phone has a 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and HSDPA/WCDMA (900/2100MHz).
