It’s a sunny day for Canadians who have been longing for the release of an Android handset in Canada. Rogers Wireless has just announced that both the HTC Dream (otherwise known as the T-Mobile G1) and Magic will be available starting June 2nd. No word yet on pricing but given that its Rogers you can assume that it will be a princely sum on a achingly long 3-year-contract.

Presumably these devices will have the proper HSDPA bands for Rogers, 850 and 1900, rather than T-Mobiles wacky 3G bands.

TORONTO, May 7 /CNW/ – Rogers Wireless today announced the exclusive
Canadian launch in June 2009 of the HTC Dream(TM) and HTC Magic(TM)
smartphones, the first cellphones in Canada powered by the Android platform,
allowing for fast and easy access to a wide range of Google(TM) mobile
services, including Google Search(TM), Google Maps(TM), Gmail(TM) and more.
“Who else but Rogers would be the first carrier to offer Canadians the
first chance to join the mobile revolution with a choice of not one, but two,
handsets powered by the Android platform?”, said John Boynton, Senior Vice
President and Chief Marketing Officer, Rogers Wireless. “The HTC Magic offers
a responsive touch screen and the HTC Dream delivers both a touch screen and a
slide out QWERTY keyboard. Both devices offer outstanding wireless internet
search capabilities and a full suite of applications that run two times faster
on Canada’s fastest mobile network.”
