HTC Magic's

Before you make any snide remarks about how pretty these HTC Magic's look, take a moment to read the next few lines of text.

Child prostitution, child pornography and the trafficking of children for sexual purposes is an unthinkable act, but unfortunately, it's not just stuff you see in movies. It's all very real and it's probably happening without your realizing it. Thankfully for the children involved, there is an organization called ECPAT that is dedicated to eradicating this heinous act and providing a future to the victims involved.

The phones you see above are a pair of custom skinned HTC Magic's that have been put up for auction by HTC Corporation at www.bidyourmagic.com. Bids start at US$888, and bidding for these two devices will be open until Friday 31 July 2009. All proceeds from the sale of these two phones will go to ECPAT in their entirety, so remember, you're bidding for a good cause!

“ECPAT International would like to thank HTC for sharing our vision on one of the growing problems in Asia, and helping to play a pivotal role in creating awareness on the issues of sexual exploitation of children through their sponsorship. This HTC project is a valuable contribution to work on as it will make a difference in the lives of children and ensures their right to protection” -- Carmen M. Madriñán, Executive Director of ECPAT International.

More details on these two custom HTC Magic's can be found on www.bidyourmagic.com. You can also check out the devices in person, as they will be showcased at the HTC Concept Store, Level 3 (Lot 331), Suria KLCC.
