As we promised, we bring you more info on HTC Legend. In fact, we present you exclusive crystal clear image of the upcoming Android phone from HTC. We suppose it will replace Hero, considering the dimensions, screen size and specs. Besides the AMOLED HVGA screen (16 million colors) it features optical mouse (or should we say optical trackpoint?). Legend will probably be announced in Barcelona (World Mobile Congress 2010) and hit the streets (or mobile operators) in march 2010. It certainly does resemble the Hero, but Legend will have metallic frame and will also feature updated versions of HTC People and Footprints. Let's not forget LED flash, something the Hero really misses, and a 600MHz processor. Green bottom is probably going to change… What do you thing on Legend vs Bravo ? Will you even consider HVGA after WVGA and Bravo appear ?
Update: Specs sheet is now correct, the screen is HVGA !

I’m sorry guys but what HVGA are you talking about? Both Legend & Bravo have WVGA according to their specifications.
Below the image says: Screen: 3.2″ WVGA AMOLED capacitive touch screen. So? Is it WVGA or HVGA?

@Diego – sorry, our mistake – it is HVGA, typo error

No love for 1700
December 13th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Its ARM11 based SoC, not Scorpion based Snapdragon like in Bravo!

Very cool.I like it!
December 14th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
The new htc looks very cool. I hope the CPU isn’t too slow……
December 14th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
What will it do that the “magic” won’t do and visa versa – looks really great

Very nice ! but white and green is so ….

About to buy a HTC Magic – should I wait? Does it have GPS? Is it beter than the ‘magic’ at multimedia? Looks damn nice!
December 15th, 2009 at 10:26 am
I like it. I want it.
December 15th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
the top processor used by HTC is Snapdragon 1GHz……and then the one is MSM 7227 600MHz….
WHY SO A LARGE GAP??
December 15th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Not for me either. Looks cool !! But since 1 GHz processors are ´in the market´ today, 600 MHz is ridiculous. And 3.2 inch touch screen is pretty small.
I do not understand, why HTC and others do not take their time to build Smartphones that meet the requirements of us users instead of pushing one Phone after another on the market . Sure I can give the answer – money. I hate what they do !

HVGA WVGA is not the issue…….3.2″ screen is too small.. so I would choose Bravo or something else with 3.7″ (or larger) screen.
December 16th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
all right Bodo you saying that 3.2 touch screen is too small, that 600 MHz is to slow, well different people different needs. For me will be fit perfectly in my pocket
3.2″ its just ok and Mhz’s or GHz’s doesn’t only one issue if you talking about speed/lag of the any smartphone. BTW does somebody know how much will be coast in UK?
December 16th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
why limit it to GSM carriers, i.e. AT&T’s poor network?
December 18th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Damn, I am lost!
The Legend is pretty cool, by design it delivers a high value feeling to the user. But the specs!! Awful. The Legend is really bling-bling, and I really hope so for the end-design of the Bravo (actually it doesn’t look as cool as the Legend does), too.

A gd phone…..the only bad thing with it is the 600MHz CPU……..:(
December 21st, 2009 at 4:38 am
Will it come out for Sprint? well im thinking yea because it is a Hero 2 so right?
December 21st, 2009 at 5:43 pm
GSM based phones can be rolled out accross more continents quicker for less money, Palm found that out the hard way. What’s all the complaints about the processor too? It’s more than enough for the target market this device is for. Aslong as it’s priced to reflect the short falls it’ll sell in droves and the HTC community will keep it on it’s feet for years
December 31st, 2009 at 10:09 am
So will sprint get this for sure
January 6th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Looks nice~wonder how much it’ll cost. I really want it because of the flashlight what the Hero misses. When is it coming to stores?
January 9th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
All want power, speed and a large screen, but always neglect the fact that it takes JUICE. Who wants a device that struggles to make it through the day on one charge?
January 12th, 2010 at 9:35 am
No! I hate the way they have tried to ‘modernize’ the design on that device. The HTC Hero had one of the best looking designs (in my eyes) for ages with the more retro meets future look. This one looks somewhat like a Nokia if that is how it will end up looking.
January 13th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
I actually rather like the new design, the jaw perhaps a little less prominent than it was before, thats neither here nor there. I dont understand the fuss about the processor, I dont think that after the Hero’s 5 star reviews they would release a substandard successor, itll be the right processor for the phone. The Bravo will demand a lot more from itself and therefore will require a more power cpu. Anyhoo atleast theyve addressed the led light issue.

beautiful
i want it !
i hope optical mouse i will not be as in new leaked bravo photos…
February 1st, 2010 at 11:48 am
Hey People,
I am an ANDROID developer and working for corporation which work with HTC, i’m glad and proud to tell u that LEGEND rocks.
HTC Legend & ANDROID 2.1 -> i think i don’t need anything else
February 13th, 2010 at 10:06 am
Simply love it! But I hope it comes soon, cause I was at the break of buying a Hero, and then this one came in the news.
Only thing I’d like to now is if an optical is better than a trackball. Will I be better of with A Legend or with a Hero.
