The HTC Magic is certainly an attractive handset and, equipped with Google Android, represents one of the two best touchscreen handsets currently in production - for this comparison I ignore any handsets with mechanical keyboards.

So it is no surprise that sales of the handset are doing well, and that is even before they enter the US market.

HTC are poised to ship their 1 millionth HTC Magic handset in the next couple of months according to its chief executive officer.

Despite the global recession, HTC chief executive officer Peter Chou says that "the sales of HTC Magic look good", and that shipments of the HTC Magic Android phone may hit 1 million units "within one or two months".

"The progress is better than most analysts’ expectations as some thought it would take at least five months for HTC to sell 1 million HTC Magic phones," said Lu Chia-lin, an analyst with Macquarie Research.

The HTC Magic will be launching in the US shortly as the myTouch 3G.

HTC are expected to announce yet more Android powered handsets next week.

That last bit of news is interesting and shows HTC's commitment to the new OS to which they are, by now, getting to be experts. Their confidence in Google Android is certainly beginning to show.
