Had my HTC Legend for about three weeks now, so it’s probably time to record some reaction.
Things that I Like:
Display
Very clear and with a good range of brightness. (You really need a brightness adjuster app to make the most of this.)
Keypad Entry
This is much better than my old phone (Samsung Vodafone M1 360), even though the on-screen keys don’t seem significantly larger.
Home screens and HTC Sense
It’s really easy to organize things with seven home pages easily available. The “pinch-to-zoom” feature is really neat (not sure if this is part of HTC Sense, actually, or a facility of all Android phones).
Lots of Apps
The number of apps available is mind-boggling, and most of the ones I’ve tried are good quality.
Things that I Don’t Like:
Battery Usage
I find that after about 12 hours, the battery is down to 25% or less; which is OK provided you don’t forget to charge overnight every day, but it would be nice to have a bit more leeway.
Things I’m Not Sure About:
Camera
I haven’t used the camera a lot, but considering it’s 5 Mp it doesn’t seem much better (if at all) than the 3 Mp I had on the old phone.
Things I’ve added :
