HTC Magic launches this Friday, pre-registers get $100 off with contract

 Vodafone has just sent an email to those who have pre-registered for the HTC Magic, the first 300 customers will receive $100 off the phone if they sign up to a 24 month contract. Also, the official launch date of the mobile is Friday though they'll only be selling the black versions with the white ones set to come early next week.

I would be more excited but since finding out about Vodafone crippling the mobile in my review I'm left with this negative taste in my mouth. It's still a good phone, just not good enough to compare with the other smartphone in the market that's launching soon.
