HTC Legend Review

The HTC Legend is an Android mobile that takes the HTC Hero to a new level. This handset offers all of the great features that were available with the Hero, and makes them even better. This smartphone not only looks great, but it is simply fun.

On the front of the Legend HTC is a gorgeous, 3.2-inch AMOLED display. With this screen you can view sharp and clear text, plus pictures and video are bright and colourful. Generally this phone is fast and poses very little problem with lag, even when surfing the Internet. For a fast connection you get WiFi, plus viewing web pages is easy with the Zoom feature.

The HTC Legend is an Android phone that includes all of the fun applications that you would expect for this class of mobile. The Legend comes with great email support, as well as easy access to social networking applications such as Facebook and Twitter. The address book that is included with the Legend HTC will pull contacts from Gmail, as well as Facebook.

Sending email and text messages is easy with the virtual keyboard that comes with the Legend; this keyboard is easy to use and very responsive; in fact, you will likely find that the HTC Legend onscreen keyboard is one of the best virtual keyboards you have ever used.

Some additional features that come with this phone include a built in 5-megapixel camera that features LED flash, and a number of photo settings. Picture quality is average and about what you would expect from a camera phone. For storing media files the HTC Legend comes with a microSD card slot, which can also be used for putting files onto your phone, plus you can transfer files via a USB cable.

The call quality that you get with the Legend HTC is fairly good, voices sound natural, and reception is not a problem. On the other hand, battery life could be end up being a little inconvenient, as this handset does tend to eat up battery. You will likely need to recharge this phone about once a day.

Although the HTC Legend isn’t quite up to the same standards as the iPhone, it is by far one of the best Android phones available, and you do get a lot of extras with this handset. Not only is the Legend HTC a lower cost phone that the Desire, it is also more compact and slips easily into your pocket.

Though this is a reasonably priced smartphone if you can find some good HTC Legend deals, this handset can be even more affordable.
