Along with market support, actual Android-enabled devices are coming to Canada. Sure, Canadians have been able to buy the Developer device, but the masses have been oblivious to Android devices. That is about the change. Both the G1 (HTC Dream) and the G2 (HTC Magic) will be released in select areas of Canada starting June 2. Brought courtesy of Rogers communications, the G1 and G2 enter the Canadian market in competition with several Blackberry devices and the iPhone.

This screenshot was submitted by email to cellphonesignal.com, which is being cited as T-Mobile’s release schedule for 2009.

The image shows fall releases of three new Android handsets:  The “HTC Sapphire”, the G1v.2 “Bigfoot”, and the Samsung “Houdini”, with the HTC Sapphire being scheduled for late summer/early fall and the other two a little later in the year.

A further look at each of these phones is forthcoming, we’ll start with the HTC Sapphire.

The HTC Sapphire/ MyTouch 3G

“HTC Sapphire” is listed on the chart at $179.  The HTC Sapphire will be released in the US as the MyTouch 3G.  Another leaked screenshot shows the MyTouch 3G in a T-Mobile price schedule with a white, black, and merlot color option.  According to Boygenius.com, “MyTouch 3G” was a choice in a survey distributed by T-Mobile looking for a release name for the HTC Magic.   

The likelihood is high that the MyTouch 3G is the HTC Magic.  The HTC Magic was released by Vodafone in the UK and Spain earlier this week and is set to come out in Germany today.  (Vodafone UK is offering it free with monthly contracts at £30 and up, and a similar deal exists in Germany.)  The Sapphire graphic in the chart definitely looks like a compressed little HTC Magic.

We’ve certainly seen the HTC Magic before and specs can be found in this previous post: http://www.blog.droidweb.com/?p=111
