The T-Mobile G1 was the first handset to hit the market powered by the new Google Android smartphone platform. It was met with some success in the United States, but much like the original iPhone, it was never officially offered to Canadians. It may have taken almost a year, but Google Android is finally making its way north of the border, offering a new smartphone operating system for people to consider beyond the BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and iPhone. And the kicker is that there will be at least two Android phones coming our way.

The HTC Dream is essentially the same phone as the T-Mobile G1, except it will carry some Rogers-specific branding and customization. That’s the phone with the touchscreen display and slide-out QWERTY keyboard. In addition to the Dream, Rogers Wireless will also be getting the HTC Magic shown above. This Android phone is much more akin to the iPhone in nature, because it does not have a physical keyboard to speak of. Instead, it relies on the touchscreen. You’ll also notice the BlackBerry-like trackball as well.

The version of the HTC Magic shown above comes from Vodafone, but the Rogers version will be quite similar. From what I understand, it will be running on version 1.5 of Google Android, a build known affectionately as Cupcake. Other notable features include 3G high-speed data, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD expansion, 3MP camera, and an integrated accelerometer.

Word is that Rogers will launch the HTC Dream and HTC Magic on June 2, both at a projected three-year contract price of $199.99.
