HTC Magic gets Fender treatment
The HTC Magic Fender Edition
T-Mobile is the chosen US network for carrying Google’s new Nexus One smartphone, and today it has secured a second mobile coup – a limited edition version of the HTC Magic dressed up to look like a Fender electric guitar.
The HTC myTouch 3G Fender Edition – which uses the Magic’s name in the US – was first spotted last year, but now guitar-loving phone lovers Stateside can get their hands on one for $180 on a two-year contract.
And it’s not just on the surface that the Fender Edition pays homage to the classic guitar maker: an equally respected name has lent his considerable talents under the surface, Slowhand himself Eric Clapton.
There’s a host of Clapton-esque content loaded up onto the phone, including some of his biggest hits like “Layla” and “Wonderful Tonight” along with a guitar-themed app centred around the music legend.
You also get a Fender-styled case and docking station with built-in speakers. Now all we need is news that the Fender Edition is making its way to Slowhand’s home country here in the UK.
