Move over, Lenovo: HTC Magic-based OPhone confirmed for June on China Mobile
Filed under: Handsets, HTC, China Mobile, Android
Shots of that China Mobile-customized Magic in the wild have proven spot-on at this time that the Wall Street Journal has confirmed HTC’s plans to start offering the device starting next month. The phone will join hardware from Lenovo as a member of China Mobile’s OPhone initiative, which is looking to offer a carrier-customized Android experience on surprisingly awesome handsets. Of course, awesomeness continuously comes with a price, and when the Magic launches in June, it’s expected to run something in the range of 5,000 yuan ($732) — a princely sum for a phone that should run no more than $450 or so totally unlocked in other locales. Just how bad do you want Android, punk?
