HTC promised they would be rolling out Sense on older Android phones back in August. We were initially told that the update would come sometime in October, but a lot of users lost hope as the month rolled on. Fortunately for us, HTC has kept their promise. We are still in October and HTC has just released a ROM update for the Taiwanese HTC Magic. The update included HTC’s Sense UI and from what we can tell will give you the full experience that HTC Hero users have come to love. I’m still waiting to hear back from HTC to confirm whether or not the ROM update includes the Android 1.6 updates or not. I’ll keep you posted. For now, if you own an HTC Magic purchased in or from Taiwan, head on over to HTC’s support site to download and update your ROM.
If you do not have a Taiwanese Magic, do not use this ROM to update your phone. HTC is expected to continue the rollout to other regions within the coming weeks.
