The cat is out of the bag now as Rogers is following through with the report that they will be handing out free HTC Magics to any willing Dream owners. They are doing this only for HTC Dream owners because of the highly anticipated Android 2.1 update which, sadly, cannot manage to run effectively with the lower on-board memory held by the Dream. The Magic will be able to operate the new version of Google’s Mobile OS and so expect many of your Dream wielding counter-parts to flip the switch.
But it won’t come cheap (even though it is free). You have to be willing to fork over another 3 year contract (renewal) in order to gain from this entire experience. So perhaps Dream owners are weary of making a quick decision?
- You can upgrade to a Magic for free, all right, but you’re going to have to renew your contract for another Canadian-standard three years.
- This applies for those who activated a new HTC Dream before Jan. 1, 2010.
- You must upgrade to the Magic by Jan. 26, 2010.
- The upgrades have to be done through Rogers’ Customer Care (888-Rogers1).
