Htc Hero 2010

The Legend From Htc

In 2009, HTC released their highly acclaimed Hero handset. In 2010 the manufacturer are attempting to take everything that made the Hero great, and improve upon it with their new handset, the Legend.

A single piece of aluminium is used to create the body of the gorgeous looking HTC Legend. Not only does this material give the phone a classy look but it is also much more durable than many of the plastic handsets currently available. The metal on this phone is not only restricted to the shell, a new metal trimmed trackpad has replaced the trackball that you will find on many other android phones. This trackpad proves more responsive and ultimately provides a much more satisfying user experience. A glance above the trackpad and you will find the Legend's impressive 3.2" screen. This screen incorporates AMOLED technology, resulting in great image reproduction and vivid colours. The 320 x 480 resolution is adequate, despite being slighter lower than some of its competitors. The overall dimensions of the handset are 112 x 56.3 x 11.5, relatively compacts but still fairly standard for a phone of its type. Weighing 122 grammes, it is also a fairly average weight too.

The HTC Legend features an impressive camera function. Boasting a 5 mega pixel resolution, this facility is aided by the addition of an LED flash which sharpens up images in darker conditions. For those who want to be a little more "hands on", the camera also has a host of additional option to allow you to get more from your photograph. For example there is a manual exposure control, a feature normally reserved for dedicated digital still cameras. 512Mb of internal memory is not a great deal to store these photos, however a microSD card slot is available, allowing for this memory to be expanded up to 32GB. Once taken and stored, photos can be easily transferred thanks to Bluetooth and USB facilities.

Despite its many fans, one criticism that was aimed at last years Hero is that at time it was a touch on the slow side. This has been addressed with the HTC Legend. The processor has been beefed up, now offering a 600Mhz affair and alongside a larger 384MB of RAM. These changes have resulted in an inevitable improvement in speed, apps are much quicker to open and the screen is super responsive to touch.

All in all HTC have taken alot on board with the design of the Legend. This fast, elegant and powerful handset is a joy to use and looks good at the same time. Browsing the web is a breeze and social networking fans will also be attracted to this handset for that reason.

The HTC Legend and the Alcatel 800 White are available now.
