As expected, HTC announced HTC Legend today at Mobile World Congress . This device is based on Android 2.1 operating system and, moreover, it is equipped with the new version of HTC Sense UI. The smartphone comes with a new widget HTC Friend Stream, with the help of which you can see new messages from friends coming from social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Flickr in one section. In addition, there are improvements for the browser, email client, application for reading news and so on.
It is worth noting that this smartphone is the successor of the popular HTC Hero. The new device is enclosed in a thin aluminum housing having bar form factor, with a slightly curved bottom part. HTC Legend is equipped with a 3.2-inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen with support for multi-touch, with the help of which the smartphone comes with a trackball instead of the usual optical joystick. The smartphone, in general, is quite functional. The phone will go on sale in Europe in April this year, and then, early in the second quarter of the year the smartphone will be available in Asia as well. The cost of HTC Legend is not announced yet.
