NTT docomo just launched the HT-03A in Japan, better known as the HTC Magic, and no one really even noticed according to Wireless Watch Japan. It’s shipping in the land of the rising sun for $300 on a 2 year contract, and it even comes with an extra battery since the locals are afraid it isn’t going to last a whole day. It’s no surprise the Japanese don’t care about this thing. It doesn’t have mobile TV, it doesn’t have NFC, it doesn’t have a lot of the things that the Japanese market has been enjoying for past few years while European and American mobile phone nerds masturbate furiously waiting to see something even remotely similar in their local shops.
I’ll take a SH-07A thank you very much.
