HTC Legend Mobile Phone

February 21, 2010

HTC Legend is one among the three Android mobile phones announced at the MWS 2010. The big brother of Hero, HTC Legend Android Mobile Phone is all about class and functionality. The phone has everything – good looks, a neat OS, interesting applications, generous memory and what not. Coming in a combination of black and aluminum, this handset is supposedly carved out of a single piece of aluminum. Cool, huh? But wait, before you wonder if the metal would obstruct the signal, let me add that all the important sections are housed inside the black plastic casing, a move that does a lot for the aesthetics as well

This latest hand set from HTC is sports the same 3.2" display that Hero had, but the trackball is a funky optical one that has a clickable surround. Furthermore, the HTC Legend 3.5G Mobile Phone supports WiFi and Bluetooth, apart from USB connectivity. The usual additions such as FM Radio, multimedia player and 3.5mm audio socket. The handset comes with a 600 MHz Qualcomm 7227 processor and has an ample internal memory of 384MB which can also be extended using MicroSD cards.

"Friend Stream" is an interesting feature that forms an assemblage of updates of friends from social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and many more. Legend is equipped with an advanced 5MP camera that comes with geo-tagging along with flash and autofocus. Can’t wait to get your hands on this phone? Well, you might have to wait for a few months, for it’s slated to be released sometime around the first quarter. And if you can’t wait that long, you can check out our mobile phone deals for something as good as Legend itself, or may be even better.

Verdict:

HTC Legend is legendary – This pretty much sums it up.

HTC Desire Mobile Phone

Desire – what a groovy name for a mobile phone, huh? Well, the name belongs to an HTC Android smartphone that was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona this year. To begin with, HTC Desire has all the ingredients to make it a huge success. And yes, part of it depends on the pricing, of which we don’t have information, but we’re sure it’ll be pricey. One among the three smartphones announced at the MWC, HTC Desire looks nice, with a sleek build and other HTC touches. Though pretty close to Nexus One, Desire is different in its own way.

HTC Desire Camera Mobile Phone runs on Android 2.1 OS, but makes use of HTC’s Sense user interface instead of Android’s standard one. Desire has a 3.7” 800 x 480p AMOLED multitouch display which is extremely clear, not to mention the brightness. Coupled with the powerful 1GHz Snapdragon processor, internet browsing is one heck of an experience. This smartphone houses a respectable multimedia player and a 5MP camera that comes with autofocus and flash.

This sleek HTC smartphone has quite a lot of interesting additions that are worth exploring. For example, to look up a word in the dictionary or search for a term in Wikipedia, all you have to do is long-press it to bring up the selection bar. And in case you wish to translate a chunk of lines, just select them and send them over to Google Translate. Desire has so many of these juicy little goodies. The internal memory is a more than adequate 576 MB of RAM and the memory can be further expanded using MicroSD cards. The 1400 mAh battery housed is pretty powerful as well, offering a talktime of 6.5 hours and a 15 day standby time.

Verdict:
HTC Desire has so much to offer – right from a good load of applications to a powerful processor, large bright screen and a decent 5MP camera. If priced right, it could sell like hot cakes.
