HTC Legend

Built around a newly enhanced HTC Sense, the HTC Legend, available in Europe from the beginning of April exclusively on Vodafone, is all about style and design. It has the same shape as the popular HTC Hero, but this time in tough metal casing.

This Android device boasts a unique design with a smooth, continuous surface, machined from a single aluminum block into a seamless compact frame. To complement its looks, the HTC Legend includes a stunning 3.2 inch, AMOLED HVGA display. The traditional trackball has also been replaced with an optical joystick, surrounded by a narrow button to improve usability without interrupting its unique design.

The new HTC Sense experience continues to focus on improving the users interactions with their most important people. This begins with a new HTC application and widget called HTC Friend Stream that seamlessly aggregates all of social communication, including Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr into one organised flow of updates.

New and improved HTC Sense also introduces broad improvements to applications, including the browser, email client and others. In addition, the new version of HTC Sense includes a new newsreader application and widget, as well as a new seven-screen ‘Leap’ thumbnail view for quick and easy access to specific screens.

This baby will come preloaded with Vodafone 360 Internet Services.

HTC Desire is as sexy as its name. This is now the richest way to visually experience news, friends, photos, favourite places and whatever else is important, on an HTC mobile phone.

Broadly the same as Google’s Nexus One device, HTC’s differentiator is the new HTC Sense on top. If the HTC Legend is all about design, this is the technology assault. HTC Desire is designed with a large 3.7 inch AMOLED WVGA display to enhance and maximise content, whether it is pictures and videos, browsing the web or checking on friends’ status updates.

HTC Desire is powered by a super-powerful one gigahertz Snapdragon processor and is Adobe Flash 10.1 ready. As with the HTC Legend, the HTC Desire also includes an optical joystick.

HTC Desire will be broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets from April.
