HTC Legend not a legend anymore
As we promised, we bring you more info on HTC Legend. In fact, we present you exclusive crystal clear image of the upcoming Android phone from HTC. We suppose it will replace Hero, considering the dimensions, screen size and specs. Besides the AMOLED HVGA screen (16 million colors) it features optical mouse (or should we say optical trackpoint?). Legend will probably be announced in Barcelona (World Mobile Congress 2010) and hit the streets (or mobile operators) in march 2010. It certainly does resemble the Hero, but Legend will have metallic frame and will also feature updated versions of HTC People and Footprints. Let’s not forget LED flash, something the Hero really misses, and a 600MHz processor. Green bottom is probably going to change… What do you thing on Legend vs Bravo ? Will you even consider HVGA after WVGA and Bravo appear ?
Update: Specs sheet is now correct, the screen is HVGA !
Samsung Behold II, Nov 18th
It’s hard not to get caught up in all the Android hoopla running around all the major wireless carriers these days. Verizon launched the Android 2.0 based Motorola DROID few days ago, as did HTC with the Droid ERIS, albeit not running on Android 2.0. Now T-Mobile is the latest carrier to announce the Android based Samsung Behold II. Samsung have thrown their own 3D cube skin on top of the default Android skin on the phone. The guys at phonedog.com were present at the launch even in NYC and have posted a video on how it went. The handset is coming to T-Mobile on 18 November for a price of $229.99 with a 2 year contract.
Here are the features of the phone
- 528 Mhz processor
- 3.2” AMOLED capacitive screen
- Accelerometer
- BlueTooth
- Wifi
- GPS
- Support for up to 16GB external memory (comes with a 2GB microSD card)
- 5 MP autofocus camera with built-in flash, zoom and video
- 1500 mAh battery
And to get you more excited about the phone, we have thrown in some more coverage about the phone





Apple iPad pre-orders have begun
The most anticipated new device is finally here. Well, almost. On Friday, Apple, Inc. began taking orders for their latest innovation, the iPad. Even though Apple has begun taking pre-orders, the iPad won’t be distributed out until April 3rd. That’s the same day they hit the store shelves. Customers will be limited to only 2 iPads initially. The Wi-Fi version, starting at $499, will be delivered on that date with the 3G version that starts at $629 coming later in the month. Consumers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK will be able to buy both the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + 3G versions of the iPad in late April. AT&T will carry the iPad offering 250MB of data for $14.99 per month, and an unlimited plan for $30 – both without an annual contract. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
