This phone truly is a Legend, it has great features, with the updated version on the 2.2, it is very responsive, especially with multitasking and games. It has a very unique design, with the phone being carved out of one piece of aluminium steel, it has a weird, but excellent feel when you hold it in your hand, and it is very durable. This is one of the best phones I've experienced, I've had the iPhone 3G, Nokia N8, and the LG Optimus One. This phone probably comes in first, excellent phone, no doubt about it. ;) One Love (Posted on 18/08/11)

I've been using my Legend for a few months now, and I am still very very happy with it.
The aluminium unibody design is just beautiful, pleasing to the eye and feels really solid in the hand, the screen is fantastic. Very very durable as well, I've dropped mine twice onto hard tiles and its none the worse for wear!
It has virtually the same feature set at the HTC Desire, the only substantial difference being a slower processer. That said the 600mhz processor does a great job a keeping up with only minimal slow downs when switching or closing applications.
The only improvements I would like to see would be a better camera for video and stills (its still passable however), and a slightly faster CPU - but really, at this price point these are really non issues, unbeatable value. (Posted on 4/11/10)

I have the phone for 2 weeks now. As a smart-phone it's very fast and responsive. Didn't stuck. Had a few reboots but probably because of incompatibilities with apps i downloaded and installed. After uninstall everything OK. The Main Problems that nobody tells u : the battery , using it with the gps and wi-fi holds about 3 -3.5 hours. Without all the communication just the phone you may pass the 24h.
**The most important thing the reception with this phone it's very very POOR. I mean in the house where i live, with the phone resting on the table the reception varies between 2 bars and NOTHING.It is not uncommon that calls get interrupted or don't pass at all and go straight to the voice-mail.
All the time I have to check that i have reception. In the basement no reception at all. In the house are other 4 phones of the same mobile company that works flawless. Even in the basement they have reception. This is the major problem of the phone. The video is ok, camera the same for an built in cam, only the reception is poor. With the WI-FI i am in the same room with the router i get full reception. I get out of the room it gets down and till I get to the end of the corridor drops to zero (something like 7-10 meters from the room) .Use i as a gadget, GPS, google maps(if you got reception) , media player its very good. As a phone look for something else. (Posted on 27/06/10)

HTC has been making some of the most popular Android devices since Google has put it on the map. The HTC Legend is going to become one of those devices and from what we’ve seen so far, it’s going to live up to its name. It has an AMOLED display, a CPU of 600MHz and 348MB of RAM. Not to mention, the body is made of aluminum.

Software/Interface
The HTC Legend runs Android 2.1 and has an HTC Sense interface. There are seven home screens for more personalization for widgets and shortcuts. The Legend allows you to view all seven home screens at once at once. This is easily activated by double-pressing the home button or pinching the screen. Of course the Legend has your standard phone functions, like alarm clock, calculator, and calendar (which can also be synched with GMAIL and Facebook). Any other apps you need can usually be found in the Android Market.
If you’re into social networking, you may enjoy the addition of “FriendStream.” This is a widget that is similar to Motorola’s MOTOBLUR and is a constant stream of status updates for sites like, Facebook and Twitter. Some of these updates can also be found in “People,” which is HTC’s category for phone contacts. “People” is also where you can find specific call history, message history, and pictures.
The processor allows the Legend to run smoothly even with a lot of apps open. Of course, the Android 2.1 software doesn’t hurt.

Design
An aluminum body for a device is nothing new, but HTC was still able to make it lightweight in your hand, but still feel solid. The contrast of the silver and black is nice and it’s great that HTC was able to incorporate the look into the battery slot. There isn’t a trackball like we’ve seen on some previous HTC Android devices, but instead they’ve replaced it with an optical track pad.
As stated, the Legend has an AMOLED 3.2 inch display. It is a vibrant display and supports multi-touch. However, the display is hard to see in direct sunlight.

Camera
The HTC Legend rocks a 5MP camera with a flash. It takes about 3 seconds for the camera function to start up once initiated and is displayed on the screen for about one second after taken. The camera took some crisp pictures and colors were realistic.

Internet
The browser overall on the Legend is improved over some other Android devices. It is quick and with the multi-touch capability, zooming is easy. There is some Flash integration in the browser and it often depends on the website you’re visiting. Sites like YouTube load, but some non-mobile version websites may not load at all. It can be frustrating at times, but there are many devices that do not currently load Flash at all, so this is a step in the right direction.
The Legend is also Wi-Fi capable.

Overall Performance
We were able to hear callers on the other end without any issues, but seemed to be quieter than some of other devices. Callers also did not have an issue hearing us.
HTC states that the Legend will provide 8.16 hours of talk time and 18 days stand by time. This seems to be accurate, but of course we must integrate what we actually did on the device. There was a lot of web browsing, multimedia and messaging, which of course isn’t considered in the figures.
We were happy with the performance of the HTC Legend. It has a great feel and is solid in your hand and the AMOLED display is a nice upgrade. The interface has a nice personalized feel to it and when we pick it up, we know it’s ours. The HTC Legend is a great addition to the HTC Android family. (Posted on 13/04/10)

I've been eagerly waiting to get a new Android device and I'm happy I chose the Legend. It's an awesome phone and the screen is beautiful! It's easy to use, even though it took some getting used to all touch, but it makes the phone smaller without a keyboard. Android is great too! I like that I am able to customize the phone to what I want. Very happy with this phone! (Posted on 1/04/10)
