The Legend smartphone is an addition to the Android range, built around the enhanced HTC Sense.
The device has a smooth surface, machined from a single aluminium block into a compact frame, with a 3.2″ AMOLED HVGA display and an optical joystick that is surrounded by a narrow button to make phone navigation even easier.
Its features include automatic lowering of the ringer volume as soon as the phone is picked up and muting of the ringer when the phone is flipped face down. It backs up certain data and settings to the microSD card automatically, such as SMS/MMS messages, bookmarks and Wi-Fi passwords, and it includes a 3.5 mm stereo audio jack. It has enhanced support for Exchange security features such as password protection and remote data wipe and Adobe Flash support.
HTC Sense has an application and widget called Friend Stream that aggregates social communication formats including Facebook, Twitter and Flickr into one organised flow of updates and people can be organised into specific social circles, such as colleagues.
Improvements to applications have been made including the browser and email client and it includes a newsreader application and widget, as well as a seven-screen ‘leap’ thumbnail view for quick and easy access to specific screens.
It is available on Vodafone and 3 Mobile.
