HTC unveiled the successor to last year’s Hero handset at Mobile World Congress. Called the Legend, it delivered on just about everything expected. It carried a similar form factor to the Hero with its slight chin, but got an overall performance boost.
If last year’s handset stood out with its Teflon coating, the Legend’s defining design feature was its unibody case. Made from a single continuous piece of aluminum, it had a polish to it that was genuinely striking. Like the just-announced Desire, the Legend featured the updated version of Sense UI. Specs included a 3.2-inch AMOLED display, an optical trackpad, and Android 2.1. The HTC Legend launched in April on Vodafone, with additional availability across Asia in early Q2 and a worldwide rollout to follow.
