A spyshot of the T-Mobile inventory system (which we hope is true) has unveiled the american version of the HTC Magic called My Touch 3G. It looks like the device will be available in white, black or merlot colors. There's also another shot of the inventory, which reveals the "HTC Dash 3G", or the carrier's version of the HTC Snap S522.

No launch dates or pricing information is available just yet.

It looks like the FCC has approved the HTC Rhodium, a Touch Pro2 variant which should be available from T-Mobile soon. According to FCC’s documentation, the device will have:

• GSM/EDGE/3G 1700 MHz support;
• 3.6" display with 480 x 800 resolution;
• Windows Mobile 6.1 OS;
• GPS;
• Wi-Fi;
• Bluetooth;
• 3.

T-Mobile has released the Android Cupcake 1.5 update for its HTC G1 users. The problem is that if you're using a custom ROM, you won't be able to download the update. Thus be sure to return to the official ROM, if you want to play with the Cupcake.

Sprint is reportedly preparing the HTC S511 Snap that we talked about a while ago for the mid-Summer release. There's no confirmation on that, but let's keep our fingers crossed.

And you probably forgot about its existance by now with all this Palm Pre hype, didn't you? :)

T-Mobile has announced the AWS-compatible HTC Rhodium aka Wing 2 for the U.S. market. The phone was first spotted back in January and has just been approved by the FCC. Here's the list of its key specs:

Vodafone Germany and HTC have announced the availability of Android-powered HTC Magic on the German market. The handset will cost you as low as one Euro depending on the chosen plan (minimum of €44.95 (about $59) per month). Or you can get it for €59.90 on a €24.95 plan, which isn't too pricy.

HTC has released a new ROM update version 1.57.831.1 for Touch HD users in Hong Kong. The changes are as follows:

• Auto-database downloading during Connection Setup is now disabled;
• Improved Bluetooth connection when using Internet Sharing;
• The roaming icon doesn't display under the non-roaming circumstances

Touch HD users from other regions can install the upgrede using the hspl or uspl method.

The HTC XV6175, previously known as the HTC Willow is rumored to be heading towards Verizon Wireless in the near future. Unfortunately, no details on the specs were provided, but we assume it will be a low-end device running Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard OS.

Vodafone has surprisingly announced the launch of the HTC Magic, the company's second Android handset, in Spain. This means that Spanish subscribers will get to enjoy the phone 8 days earlier than the rest of us. Of course, everything has it's price, and the phone won't come cheap.

O2 UK has announced that it's started offering the HTC Touch Diamond2 for free for all those willing to tie themselves to a £30 monthly 2-year contract, along with 9 months half price line rental (or £50 instant cash back).
Now, if the iPhone 3G was offered for free, what would you choose out of those two?
