The 3.2 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen offers an excellent level of display quality thanks to a pixel layout of 320x480 displaying up to 16 million colours. An optical trackpad offers an alternative method of navigating menus,The HTC Legend Is A Has The Latest Android Operating System Articles and the screen includes an accelerometer sensor for auto rotate.

To alert to incoming text and multimedia messages and voice calls, vibration works alongside ringing and users have the option to assign MP3 and WAV music files as ringtones, therefore allowing customisation of the HTC Legend. If users want to talk handsfree, a 3.5mm audio jack and a speakerphone system are included.

The HTC Legend utilises a range of connectivity features to stay connected to both the internet and cellular networks. Internet connection is primarily through HSDPA at speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps (alongside HSUPA at 2 Mbps) in areas covered by 3G. If a wireless internet router is located in the same vicinity as the handset, Wi-Fi kicks in allowing a faster internet connection.  EDGE and GPRS (both class 10) provide connection to cellular networks, whilst Bluetooth and micro USB allow direct connection to a variety of other devices.

The HTC Legend measures 112x56.3x11.5mm and only weighs 126 grams. Its slimline profile and light weight make it comfortable to hold and a pleasure to use on the go. The handset is crafted from a single piece of aluminium, portraying its premium quality.

The Android OS (v2.1, Eclair) coupled with a 600GHz processor provide a fast and smooth user interface and handle demanding applications with ease. Several formats of video and music files are supported by the internal media player, and a stereo FM radio player and selection of games keep users entertained. Popular websites such as YouTube and Google can be directly accessed thanks to dedicated applications.

As mentioned, a 5 Megapixel camera is included (2592x1944 pixel resolution) which can take high quality still photos as well as the ability to shoot video. Autofocus and LED flash are included which makes it easier to take quality photos even in low lighting conditions.

384MB RAM and 512MG ROM provide the internal memory and storage for data such as video clips or music files. Further storage can be gained, however, by utilising the micro SD slot which can accommodate a memory card of up to 32 GB.

The HTC Legend really is the definition of a premium Smartphone. With the latest Android OS, impressive functionality and aesthetically pleasing design, it is easy to see the appeal of this phone.
