Vodafone Still the Only Operator Offering the HTC Legend
Vodafone just might have an indirect exclusivity to the HTC Legend as the Android smart phone has yet to be found on other operators.
While the HTC Desire Snapdragon Android smart phone is pretty much offered by everyone else (it makes for the perfect Nexus One substitute –that is why), the HTC Legend is still a Vodafone-only find.
So far, the UK based Vodafone has yet to confirm as to whether the device is indeed an exclusive offer, but it is hard to believe that other operators simply passed this device up. Surely the Desire is a much more superior mobile phone in terms of specs. It runs at 1GHz, has a 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen and a 5 mega pixel camera that can shoot in 720p
The Legend on the other hand, only has a 3.2 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen, a 5 mega pixel camera (with WVGA video recording), and a Qualcomm 600MHz CPU. It does have a cool aluminum cover and is the successor of the HTC Hero. As a mid range phone, this is one great device that is much cheaper than the Desire. This smart phone also uses the Sense user interface on the Android 2.1 Éclair operating system.
HTC is a Taiwanese based mobile phone manufacturer that is currently the target of a 20 patent infringement lawsuit from Apple. Despite the lawsuit itself, many consider the move by Apple as a strike against Google –its chief competitor. Since HTC is a close industry partner of Google (and a big part of the Open Handset Alliance), Apple would be able to take out a major portion of Google’s mobile phone industry foothold. Google has announced that they stand behind HTC in regards to the lawsuit.
