HTC brings some Sense to HTC Magic, but limited to Taiwan for now

If you’re thinking your HTC Magic could use a bit of the HTC Hero’s Sense UI, you’re not alone – HTC apparently thinks so too. They’ve released a new ROM update for the Magic, and it’s packing the Sense UI! Finally, Magic owners don’t have to put up with a stock Android homescreen anymore.
You’ll have to provide your Magic’s serial number before HTC will let you download the ROM, so this is definitely a “your mileage may vary” sort of situation. Unwired View says the update is limited to Taiwan handsets for now, so your best bet is to try your luck with the serial number. That also means the T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) myTouch3G in your pocket won’t be getting Sense anytime soon. Sorry, them’s the breaks.

HTC is definitely doing good business. First they released the source code of their Hero and now they are
offering their Sense UI for the htc Magic. The funny thing however is that opening up the code for the htc Hero will result in a lot of programmers removing sense (because it would make the Hero very slow) and for the Magic its the other way around, people want that Rom because it enables them to have sense on their HTC.
