HTC Legend – a great smartphone!

HTC has worked closely with Google and Microsoft to get their operating systems working just right and this rapidly growing Taiwanese company has proved they have the vision to create stylish looking casings as well. The HTC Legend has a solid, substantial metal case with all the techno wizardry that goes along with it.

The Legend is the updated version of the very popular HTC Hero mobile and is the first to feature an all-in-one aluminium casing. The hard, cool one piece unibody gives off a sense of durability; this is a phone that will last and take the knocks.

As nice as looking at something is, you need it to perform as well and the HTC Legend does not disappoint. The brightly lit and coloured 3.2-inch geo-screen is very responsive. They changed to an optical joystick after the much criticised trackball system and placement of all the plugs and buttons has been well thought out.

Technologically they have included some innovative attractions; the “leap” feature allows you to see all your home pages at once and the “friend stream” has been specifically created for all the social network lovers out there, giving an easy view of all preferred sites.

There is a decent quality media player and 5 mega-pixel camera, FM radio tuner and 3.5 mm jack point. The Legend also has great connectivity with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB and GPS, along with 512MB of memory. 

HTC has put a lot of thought into the Legend and it is more than just an updated Hero. Its style and content will make it one of the top phones of the year for sure.
