Noooooooo.....

The page has been "updated" and the tick changed to a cross.

There goes any chance of the Magic being the first Android 'phone which 
I'd be able to use as my primary phone.

I'm having real trouble now seeing the Market that Android is looking to 
appeal to in Europe. It's too expensive to appeal to people as a normal 
consumer 'phone, doesn't have a high enough spec camera to appeal to the 
higher end consumer market, the design of current generation of phones 
have the wow factor to appeal to the "cool" crowd, without being 
tetherable it's not all that great for geeks not into android, and 
without PDF, Word, and Exchange support it's not going to appeal to 
corporates.

Maybe those reasons help explain the poor UK sales figures 
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/feb/12/mobilephones-google), 
and why T-Mobile aren't offering the Magic/G2.
