HTC Legend

Mr E · 15-02-2010 8:19pm #1

Due to be officially announced tomorrow, this is the Hero's successor.
Can't say I'm too impressed to be honest. Processor is only 600MHz, and apart from Android 2.1 and a flash on the camera, its very similar to the Hero.

I'm more interested in the Bravo/Passion which I thought was supposed to be the Hero's successor.

The Barvo (now called the Desire) is the Nexus One unbranded. The Legend is the Hero's direct successor

So was I. No idea yet when it's out but would imagine it could be a few months yet unfortunately

Anyone heard anything about this being released? No word from any network yet afaik

Professey Chin · 02-03-2010 3:54pm

Most sites are putting the release at about April 12th I think

Hoping to get one of these soon but only if I can get a good deal on the handset on pay as you go.

£400 is pricey enough and would opt for an iPhone if I have to buy it unlocked.

Gizmodo have a review up. The design looks superb.

Shut up chin.you want a desire.but sooo pretty

It gets a cracking review there. Its a pity no Irish carrier appears to be imminently offering it.

Had to stop reading the review when I got to

but swaps the HVGA for a more superior AMOLED

:rolleyes:

Oafley Jones · 08-03-2010 10:47pm

I was going to put review in inverted commas but decided against it.

my thoughts exactly.

Anybody worried the desire might be just a little too big?

Might be enough of a reason for me to go with the legend ahead of it.

SK1979 · 09-03-2010 6:47pm

Another review on cnet.co.uk.

I'm assuming we'll see Desire reviews in the next couple of days anyway too.

Nope. defo not too big. The HD2 is TOO big. but the desire's size is almost identical to the nexus one (same screen) and thats perfect. not too small, not too big, just right. The desire is going to rock!

Sold, the promise of divx is quite a big plus.

Will just wait to see carrier prices before I make a decision.

Still can't understand why Meteor aren't rushing to pick this phone up.

Engadget's review is up. Much more in depth than Gizmodo's, plus its thankfully not been reviewed by Josh Topolsky.

They seem to have dramatically different suggestions for the battery life! I think it's pretty important to know whether it'll last the day before splashing out on one.

jimmycrackcorm · 12-03-2010 2:40am

Clove have a £10 price difference between desire and legend - decisions, decisions....

squire23 · 15-03-2010 2:50pm

Looks like the Legend will be coming this way via Vodafone judging by Vodafone UK's annoucement

Meteor have the legend as buy it now and exclusive on their website.

flynnduism · 25-03-2010 4:22pm

Just announced on Meteor!

Bill Pay only, from €49 to €129

Finally an alternative to the Hero in Ireland. Gonna read up on this and see if it's worth my cash!

squire23 · 25-03-2010 5:53pm

F*ck. Yeah!

flynnduism · 25-03-2010 6:31pm

going to check this out at the Meteor store after work - that's if they're in stock yet...

According to their twitter, they're in-store as of today

Should have arrived in stores today, plus a demo unit was shipped to most, if not all, stores so you should be able to have a play.

It's really, really nice looking, very responsive, sturdy screen.

Did you sign up to boards just to research getting Rosco drunk? :P

atech · 26-03-2010 12:53am

If the Legend is the successor to the Hero how come the prices are the same?

Was just thinking of getting the Hero last week, good thing I didn't so!
