HTC Intros Update to Nexus One with HTC Legend Smartphone


High Tech Computer is borrowing a page from Nexus One with its two new smartphone models.
 
The company, which designs, manufactures and markets innovative, feature rich touch phones, PDA phones, smartphones and mobile computer devices, today unveiled its latest smartphone devices, the HTC (News - Alert) Legend and HTC Desire at Mobile World Congress.
 
While the HTC Desire offers certain specifications that mirror the Nexus One device, there are some changes. The device features the use of a touch-free optical joystick instead of a touchscreen, while Nexus One has a trackball for the same function. In addition, the HTC Desire includes FM radio; the Nexus One lacks.
 
Meanwhile, The HTC Legend is similar, but offers a 3.2-inch touchscreen. Like the HTC Desire, an optical joystick replaces the trackball.
 
Both handsets feature a camera with flash and use Android (News - Alert) version 2.1.
 
“At its essence, the mobile phone is the most personal item you have in your possession,” Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation HTC Sense was created to magnify your ability to create and define your own unique mobile experience. HTC Legend and HTC Desire take Android to another level in both substance, with HTC Sense, and style, with HTC Legend’s revolutionary crafted aluminum unibody design.”
 
The new HTC Legend will be available in Europe through Vodafone (News - Alert) and in the direct channel markets in April.  It will launch in other parts of the world, including Asia, in the second quarter. The HTC Desire will be available in major European and Asian markets early in the second quarter, the company said.
