If you have a passion for good looking metal phones consider the HTC Legend. Not only does it look good, but it has great features. This is your chance to take a look at it right here.
The first thing you notice about an HTC Legend is the case. It is brushed aluminum and classy. It feels solid when you hold it and is designed after the unibody laptops that have the same metal design. The screen is bright and uses new technology. The phone weighs just 4.4 ounces or 126 grams if you are using the metric system where you live.
The screen on the Legend is a real delight to look at. It can display a grand total of sixteen million colors. That is for a screen of 320 by 480 pixels. The screen is made of LED´s instead of LCD´s. The new technology makes the screen more vivid and uses less power than an LCD screen. The Legend screen does the automatic acrobatics when you turn the smartphone on its side. Under the screen is an optical trackpad instead of a dirt-holding trackball. Technology is moving right along and the celular world is one of the first to profit from it.
The Legend runs the legendary “Sense” user interface that HTC makes. This is laid over the Android platform to give a wonderful navigation experience. You can access all seven ( yes, seven ) home screens from one screen on the HTC Legend. This means you can separate work from play, or play from enemies or from whatever you feel like separating things from. You have the power to customize the smartphone in a myriad of ways, thanks to the Sense interface. The Android operating system is one of the hottest softwares on the planet at the moment. It can call a cab for you, silence and enable the ringer for you, put text on your photos, share music with others, rate hotspots and restaurants, create ringtones from your songs, and on and on. The Android system allows you to wipe all the personal information from the Legend if it gets stolen or is lost. A web browser is included and is of high quality.
The camera on the Legend is similar to the Hero. This model has flash, the Hero does not. It also has video recording and a five megapixel ability to take photos. The video is recorded at a noteworthy thirty frames per second. The flash is actually a little too powerful in low-light conditions, though. The audio is rated highly, with a FM radio and a music player. You can run it all through a 3.5 millimeter headset jack if you need the privacy.
The Legend uses quad band GSM and dual band HSDPA connection for voice communications. There are EDGE and Wi-Fi connections for data, as well as bluetooth, GPRS and 3G. If you need a cable connection, the Legend has MicroUSB.
The HTC Legend is faster than the Hero. It runs at a respectable 600 megahertz with a Qualcomm MSM 7227 processor. The memory is rated at 384 megabytes of RAM and 512 megabytes of ROM. There is also a MicroSD card slot for up to 32 gigabytes of external memory. It is well equipped for work or hardcore social networking.
The battery in the HTC Legend is smallish for a phone of this stature. It is rated at 1300 mAh and allows a talk time of just over six hours or seven hours if you use 2G networks. It came out just last month and is supposed to be marketed at Sprint.
