HTC Legend - First Look

[violetapesterfield]

liek this one

[julan99]

i have got this phone its good but i want a blackberry 9900

[Winterfang]

HTC really getting it's money worth on that picture of the girl with sunglasses looking up.

[tomiejie]

I have the legend, but really: If you want your phone not be broken, Just buy an other HTC, Cuz mine has 4 really big problems: 1. Touchsreen works Half (touchscreenproblem) 2. Trackball is dead. 3. USB doesntworks (Not even software :() (Very rare ) , 4. It turns to blackscreen when a call or incoming call has been ended -.- ( Then i have to reboot :( )

[MultiRayX]

that design is so sexy

[asmara333]

i have just ordered htc legend

thank u God

[aNASTYfeed]

so... SEXY! i am geting it!

[akjl01]

Ok, i've had this phone for about a year now so i think i've got the measure of it. The design is good and it looks great. It feels comfortable in the hand and there's a real sense of quality. It's also not too big so it feels fine in your pocket. The screen is very good if a little small. Images and text are very pleasing. The phone is responsive generally in most applications but can stutter or lag occasionally. I'd give the camera 7/10. Audio recordings 3/10. Browsing V Good. Nice phone! 8/10

[sledger74]

Great Phone !!!

[vlad1Dr]

nice

[RainyDaiiHD]

i have this phone and it looks amazing, but the hardware is not that good... it's still awesome :D

[jabi3jabi3]

htc desire z is better

[asmara333]

this phone is awesome

[asmara333]

this phone is awesome

[dannyto12]

the speaker thing on the back stopped me getting this, its so ugly

[ScorMakk]

very cool!

[TheUltimate231]

im planning to get this phone but does it have a application.....

if not...can u tell me a similar phone tht does

[Snowintosh]

@TheUltimate231 What do you mean when you ask if it application?

[TheUltimate231]

@Snowintosh i meant tht does it hve an application store so u can download stuff

[Snowintosh]

@TheUltimate231 Yes. It has the Android Market. You can get Angry Birds the full version for FREE.

[MrLubizzle]

What carrier is this phone for?

[ferhansid]

this phone is sooo sick , my bro got it , way better then my 3gs

but i dont think it stands up to the i4 , but i geuss the desire is meant to do that

[PinkMirrorKirby]

@ferhansid Aluminum is a better material than glass, who would make a phone with glass!? (Steve Jobs would)

Aluminum is way more sturdy.

[RibenaFanta]

im getting one for christmas, desire is better but to expensive for me...

[tonyskater364]

is this phone 3G???

[RibenaFanta]

@tonyskater364 yes

[MrCssmovie]

But will it Blend? Thaths the Question!!!

[FCule]

sometimes i regret choosing Desire instead of Legend... :/

This phone is so beatiful!!!!

[MrSkarpen]

@FCule Exactly why I took a Legend instead of Desire (:

[Stiletti89]

Im sure im getting this as next phone since my dad got the HTC Desire, i fell love to it and then i was im gonna get HTC as next phone. Go android, iPhone sucks!

[rivermoon4]

@deathstreaks i agree. i chose the htc legend because it looks great. really sleek aluminium body. so hot.

[rivermoon4]

comparing the htc legend and the htc desire is like your personality. would you choose something based on its looks(htc legend), or its brains(htc desire)?

[deathstreaks]

@rivermoon4 true, but it also comes down to money, (as in my case) and then I think HTC legend is the winner.

[AndreaFranchitti]

@rivermoon4 or the bucks (htc legend)?

[leocoltuk]

@rivermoon4

*or price!

[TheQNBC]

0:32 Does the HTC Legend optical trackpad glow for notifications, like the HTC Hero Trackball??

[TheKrisgalea]

@TheQNBC nope :( the trackpad doesnt lite up in any way

[milkykungnaja]

wow :) Stunning video + great song = I am craving for it :P

[NaturalyBeastly]

WILL WE GET FROYO?

[miteo1]

@NaturalyBeastly

Yes, an update to Legend, Desire and Wildfire should be out in the third quarter of 2010. I have a Legend myself so couldn't be happier!

It really is a lovely phone :)

[SuperOmegaHyperKid]

@NaturalyBeastly Check HTC's twitter. I think it's gonna happen within the next few... weeks?

[Technoob7]

when is this coming to america and do you know if its coming to sprint or att

[Antakken]

I love the music!!! Who is it?

[hpblze]

heard on some video, that if u throw this on a glass table, the table might crack not this ... and this is something good for a hectic day today life ...

Though i wonder how it would fit in ur pocket with that bent at the bottom.

[JagexCamMan]

@hpblze bit . ly/jerku

[1Scrad]

@hpblze the bend is very slight, it doesnt affect it in your pocket at all. its a great phone.

[GaeilgeSpraoi]

I have this phone! I love it. It's hard to find is a nice smartphone that's a perfect size but it's not too big or too small and has a nice smooth, sleek design! :)

[nowak101]

htc legend, htc desire, iPhone 4 or blackberry

[1Scrad]

@nowak101 I pcked the Legend over the Iphone and blackberry and am happy i did. It can do basically everything an Iphone can do.

[LakersWON09]

anyone know when this will hit the U.S or if its even gonna hit over here

[tommvp]

i just got mines from wal-mart

[Johncar435]

HTC makes the best smartphones period

[menherrelol]

I got this. It OWNS.

[DBDMAN626]

looks good but why does it have to ben up at the end why it cant just be flat. i hate that damm dep at the ends to me its just dum. should be flat the hole way down

[Raoulirshan]

I just got the phone! AND I LOVE ITTTT!!!

[Magtus2]

Does this phone support flash and youtube?

[SpiritJaivyn]

@Magtus2 Yes! It has youtube built into it.

[ankushdj]

now thats...not impressive at all !!

[youmetube1991]

awesome video

[n859]

Я купил бы!!

[myplacedk]

Thanks for this vid! To those that wanted to know about the well known trick for downloading, just google: pwn! youtube

[AlexLuckett]

meh, i'd still rather stick with my HTC Hero. Is it just me, or is the legend rather ugly? It's got good specs, but I think it's ugly!

[marios4all]

@AlexLuckett it's just you :)

[Maikelz]

@AlexLuckett I think the HTC Legend is better designed than the Hero. But hey, that's just my opinion.

[w35t51d369]

go play with your toy.

[vincitomni85ph1]

what is new in this phone?

[lakhvirkenya]

iPhone dreaming .... LOL

[houchi69]

thats legendary...xD

just got an orgasm from this video...

[xArmonx]

Why is the bottom curved? That must be hard to put in your pocket...

[davidcoady87]

@xArmonx no it wouldnt make it hard to put in your pocket

[houchi69]

its the stapled chin with this line of phones.

[Jiucieu]

does it support adobe flash 10.1????

[andand34]

yes!!

Android 2.1 have flash player 10.1

[kaymalai]

@Lawtsy15

[dragkill36]

Wow! I looks like a... iPhone?

[houchi69]

psh...iPhone wishes

[konrad303]

@dragkill36 No, much better actually.

[Laurentgolf5]

Beautiful video!!

This phone is very smart and the lines of the hull are very purified. I like it.

The design looks like macbook alu unibody : TOP!

Great idea!!!

[DRBUK]

anyone know the music ? love it lol

[SharpAceMedia]

@DRBUK Im sure its Jazz

[agesg]

@DRBUK what's up with this music joke? i keep seeing it in all of the htc videos

[DRBUK]

@DRBUK and a year later...i used a website called vidtomp3 and ive got this music as a ringtone...on my iPhone 3GS ! lol

[arofluv]

can Tmobile get a sense phone??? thats not winmo.. PLEASE!

[OMGBEANS11]

im keeping my hero, Legend has better specs i know, But hero is being updated to 2.1 Sense UI in europe anyway..so once i get used to it and enjoy it, i can think about upgrading at a later date. Not much difference. Beautiful phone though! again from HTC!. thanks for making lovely phones HTC!

[quadsnipable]

i want hd2 to have the new UI like hero

[JakesTechBox]

i want it sooo bad but i wish it had a one gigahertz processor

[eltorodominicano]

i wish that too :D

[eltorodominicano]

which one should i buy desire or legend..?

[quadsnipable]

legend

[ReelSlimShaydee]

NEXUS!! and get the desire rom...that way u have a 2nd mic, a sexy phone, voice input etc etc

[italianstalian4eva]

thats my issue

desire = performance

legend = looks

its not like one doesnt perform in the other aspect well enough, i just dont know how much of a difference there is in it

[Joshuamorr]

i need a towel

[Joshuamorr]

I'm so glad all my friends are behind the times and don't know anything about this. It's sooo mine

[krumbalu]

go and download yourself a coocked rom for your old htc hero ;)

[Paulwander]

Unibody? Man HTC didn't even have the decency to use a different name from Apple.

Anyway, does anyone know how I can update my 1.5 Android OS? Currently running on HTC Hero

[feckingbillgates]

Unibody isn't a patented name. It's a description.

[RareJj7]

lol fail, unibody isn't patented, your saying as if the word "operating system" is to be patented, omg omg apple! copy!!! :D

unibody is a term in general

[matdeb]

@RareJj7 there not saying it as if its patented there just saying as unibody its better frame as its harder to break.

[RareJj7]

@matdeb

Go back and read his comment, he's saying as if the name "unibody" was created and patented by apple, which is clearly not.

Unless you didn't know my comment was a reply to someone else and not the vid lol.

[Johncar435]

@RareJj7 haha, it's like saying the word "phone" is to be patented.

[HIGHandFLYandRYE]

@RareJj7 no one said it was...

[RareJj7]

@HIGHandFLYandRYE I was replying to someone else a long time ago, of course I'm not replying to htc, why woould they be defending apple like a fanboy like that? :)

And it just so happens other people appreciate my bashings of apple fanboys, which I too, appreciate :) It's a wonderful talent, isn't it?

[ChunkeeChunks]

@RareJj7 They mean this particular design of unibody is patented you fucking retard think before you talk

[RareJj7]

@ChunkeeChunks How about don't jump into a conversation thats months old and you really don't know what we were talking about. I don't quite remember all the details that were talked about, hence it was months ago, but I do remember it was about someone getting butthurt about the video having the term "unibody" and not even about the particular design, just the term and the guy immediately yelled "apple copy". Of course, I will correct him.

How about you think before you show your idiocy.

[FredJai]

looks like a brick.

[TeamXtremeUK]

a good brick ;)

[Mubble]

I hope this arrives on Orange UK.

[bolqr]

It will :)

[xdeiri]

its basically updated hero

[50CenT123smoke]

@xdeiri why did they make this shit, it looks the same as hero.

[Xlella]

Actually its a huge diffrience, my friend has a hero so i know

[xdeiri]

htc has a nasty history when it comes to updates, if you have the old OS, and there is a new update out their, they simply make a new devise, but wont update the old one, so you keep buying instead of upgrading your phone, even it they release the new update its way to late

[resto4life]

i love your grammar

[eilrahc700]

The looks from the back kinda remind me of the iphone 1st gen.

[JebacAnel]

It's beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaautiful! I adore it, WHY did I buy an HERO!? CRAP

[loxKnc]

It runs at 600Mhz, a shame...

[flyingmonkeys96]

@loxKnc

umm the droid is max AT STOCK 550 mhz but people can safely over clock it to 800 mhz and it is still stable. The legend can probably go up to 900 mhz or maybe even 1 ghz.

[loxKnc]

Overclocking is the best way to fry your hardware. I don't understand why they have not used a snapdragon with 3d hardware neon acceleration.

Still a shame for me and I am VERY desapointed about it as I love the HERO/LEGEND dimensions

[flyingmonkeys96]

@lokKnc

I over clocked my cpu on the MT3G to 728 mhz and the max standard is 528 mhz.. The only thing I noticed is faster battery drain.

They are going to only release Bravo with a snap dragon and the high specs since that will be the best android phone to date for a while now. The LEGEND is supposed to be a budget phone so that is why they didn't go all spec happy on it.

[loxKnc]

Bravo is too big for me.

The Legend is an inferior phone & it is sad, it has only 384mb ram.... lol² How can a company like HTC so that...

Htc that is a shame! Please give us a Desire in a Legend shell!

[flyingmonkeys96]

@loxKnc

The legend is not an inferior phone. If you look at all the other phones out there, it looks much better, has better specs, and also has Sense UI.

As I said this is a budget phone so that is why they didn't go spec happy on it. This will be around $100-$150 USD.

[loxKnc]

sorry but to me it is

[loxKnc]

420€ on a Swedish shop....

[flyingmonkeys96]

the funny thing is that if something costs 420 in your currency it will cost 420 in USA currency. If it is $420 unlocked then that means it will be around $100 on a 2 yr contract. It is $500 for an unlocked 32B htc magic in the USA but only $150 on a 2 year contract so it is a very cheap phone that has a lot of power.

[loxKnc]

I can't benefit from those 2yr contracts in my country. So it is all over.

And Legend is heavy (126 grams), also I doubt 600mhz and 356mb ram will be enough for Sensui and nice games.

You will not convinced me, I am still disappointed: when then announced the Legend I had no doubt it will get a snapdragon... I was wrong.

[flyingmonkeys96]

I'm not saying get the Legend instead of the Desire but let the Legend be your second choice phone.

I mean get the awesome phone that has better specs than the Nexus One and get the Desire!!!!!!

For me I'll try to get the Desire but if I can't then the Legend is for me.

[loxKnc]

The matter for me is the dimensions. HERO/LEGEND dimensions is ideal for me, fits better in hand. So I was expecting a snapdragon with hero dimensions, that is why I am SO disappointed,

That said I'll keep my nexus: lighter, thinner, a little less wide and a better battery than the desire for the SAME hardware (who cares about 54m more ram when using himem kernel)

And I will run sense on it.

[electrigadget]

just a little lighter and thinner. and better hardware. and sense without hacking.

[flyingmonkeys96]

@ loxKnc

People will be hacking the n1 and will try to port sense to the n1. and since the desire has 66 mb of more RAM, they will have th optimize it (like the hero on 32B magic's)

I hope you know the himem kernel is used to use all the 512 mb of RAM, it doesn't add more RAM.

[born2kill08]

what company??

[n0tsteve]

yeah, i need three.

[yeomond]

friend of google is friend of mine!

[evibly]

Wow, cool phone, music! Any idea who is the performer? Or it is maybe a custom music?

[MrDaniielson]

yea i would also like yo know where the music is from :P

[sirKoschinsky]

Me too!

[smallspeak]

In house composer for HTC : Bethurum - this is a custom track (unreleased)

[Gasher74]

I'm glad the Power button has returned. Missed it on the Hero.

[olioi1]

The phone looks awesome! Now if HTC would give it at least a 3.5 inch screen...

[zeo99]

definitely a good upgrade to the hero

[love4musicuk]

I'll stick with my Hero

[smailsnail]

Looks nice, but the screen looks very small in comparison to the rest of the device. The new widgets you've designed for both this and the Desire also look very nice, and a great improvement upon those in previous versions of HTC Sense, however, if there's an option to view smaller versions of the widgets, they'd be better still.

[Superharas]

Is this Windows Mobile ?

[Esthreel]

android

[Superharas]

I hope it does ;)

[RMEO1]

Yes!

[Xpl0dA]

You can clearly see it's Android ^^

[Superharas]

Oh, yeah sorry. I didn't look at the buttons on the bottom.

[Xpl0dA]

I just saw it because of the interface, it's similar to the Hero, which i have myself :P

[Superharas]

Oh, ok, thanks anyway

[Georgester1993]

android with sense

[sono23]

just about matches up with the hero. i still like the hero. not the US version of the Hero

[stefanmetodijev]

Doesn't look any better than Hero...
