\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first of 2 upgrades to the Canadian HTC Magic is officially underway. The two updates spoken about in an earlier post stated that the first of the 2 updates would be a 911 fix and the much appraised HTC Sense UI. The second which will be released mid-summer is the full upgrade to Android 2.1 to keep it up-to-date with the latest Android version. The update is available on the Rogers website and requires a little more than a basic knowledge of the computer to install it. Thankfully Rogers Wireless has included instructions that make the process “bearable” to say the least. <\/span>The instructions specifically state that you should put 20 minutes aside for this process; although with the internet connection I’m on right now it looks like it’s going to be 20 min to just download the update! The link to the update is here<\/a>. *Win7 and Mac users please see your special directions below. <\/span><\/strong>Choose your phone as either the HTC Dream or Magic.<\/p>\n

While this update has some people cautious about downloading it, wondering whether it will affect their “rooted\/modded” status, most will be happy to find out that they will receive a one month’s credit of data fee’s<\/strong> due to the inconveneience. A big point of controversy for this upgrade is that users who do not upgrade quickly enough will have their data services disconnected until the update is completed.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your Sense UI! And working 911 calls! Woot Woot!<\/p>\n
