HTC Legend is just about to be unveiled, and Mobile World Congress is just around the corner. In our previous post we had a chance to see a render of the device, and since we do not have the photos yet, here is another render in better quality :) It shows the new aluminium body of the upcoming Android device from HTC as well as the new rocker button for volume with engraved + and – signs. It appears that the function keys will remain in hard form (they better be). The area in the bottom (made from plastic) will be black.

Specifications follow. Optical mouse is to be announced with this model and be implemented on Bravo as well.

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 !
