Rogers Rebranding HTC Magic as “Magic+”

After the big 911 bug fiasco last month that left thousands of people without a data connection and some without the ability to place outgoing calls because of Roger’s forced call redirections, Rogers and HTC worked together on a new software update for HTC Magic devices that included HTC’s Sense UI (and the 911 bug fix, of course). Rogers is now calling all the new Sense-equipped Magics the “HTC Magic+”. The Sense UI update defiantly does put a new face on the Magic here in Canada. A 2.1 update for Rogers Magic has been pinned at mid-2010.
