Lately I started following a tech blog, and since then I find myself updated with all tech related news. It was here I came across HTC Hero, one of the latest Android devices, which is known for its ease of usability, and few other great functions. And now next in the line of HTC device is HTC Legend.
HTC legend may not be totally unlike from Hero, but it has few better features. In fact, HTC Legend is an better adaptation of HTC Hero. There is no change in the screen size and resolution of the two devices; it is in the display of the phones that the major actual comes. Also HTC Legend will be the first to have an AMOLED touch screen.
Intro To AMOLED Touchscreen:
AMOLED is an Active matrix organic light emitting diode. AMOLED is used for display technologies in cell phones.
Apart from having AMOLED touch screen, HTC Legend will also have a very fast Qualcomm processor. The launch date of the phone has yet not been declared, but it will be out sometime in Feb, 2010, followed by Google phone and Xperia10. The cost of the phone is yet to be disclosed. Before Hero was launched, there was HTC Tattoo (it ran on the Operating System Android 1.6) where you could customize everything as per one’s need. In short, HTC tattoo worked like a Smartphone.
Below are a few specs of the phone (HTC Legend)
Quad-band GSM/EDGE, dual band WCDMA/HSPA (900/2100)
3.2″ HVGA AMOLED capacitive touch screen
Android 2.x

The year 2010 seems to be a year full of new and unique cell phones!
