This body is home to its Android 2.1 operating system and intuitive HTC Sense. The phone is operated via its 3.2inch AMOLED, high resolution touch screen.
The HTC Legend smoothes out the lines previously drawn by the HTC Hero with some very notable upgrades. One of these would be the move from the Track ball used on the Hero to the Track button. The track button is basically a small dot in the centre of a round Select button. Its far more responsive than the ball and gives you far more control for easier and quicker navigation.

The Smartphones Sense technology brings with it many perks, standing out from the crowd however is the social networking app FriendStream,. A widget on the home menu displays any status updates or uploads from sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Another useful widget in the vast collection is called NewPeople, this when touched allows you to create and modify groups of contacts made from family members or different circles of friends. This is useful in organising contacts so they are easier to locate and contact.
Unlike some other HTC models the HTC Legend has Googles Android 2.1 operating system, which gives the device MultiTouch functionality and also allows for quicker tasking. Another impressive function this device is capable of is its ability to sense its surroundings. When receiving a call the G Sensor can sense when it has been heard and lowers the ring volume when the phone is picked up, the G Sensor completely silences the phone when it is flipped face down.
To conclude, HTC where thinking big when they produced the Legend, it is hugely ambitious and borders spectacular in appearance and performance.
