HTC Launch HTC Legends, HTC HD Mini and HTC Smart
HTC in one event yesterday introduced 3 new smart phones models for Malaysian market. The 3 model are HTC Legends, HTC HD Mini and HTC Smart which run on different operating system with each using Android, Windows Mobile and Brew respectively.
HTC Legend is the new addition to HTC’s relatively few Android based smartphone in Malaysia, which comprising only HTC Magic, HTC Tattoo and HTC Hero. It runs on Android 2.1, the latest version of Android OS that looks more promising than the earlier version. Unfortunately, Android Market is still nowhere to be seen in HTC’s phone meant for Malaysia market. That’s one RRP is RM1999
HTC HD Mini is, as you can guess, is the mini version of HTC HD2 that runs on Windows Mobile 6.5.3. True to it’s names “mini”, HTC HD Mini is obviously smaller than it’s more powerful sibling, and lacking the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 1Ghz processor. Thankfully, the intuitive interface and crisps movement is till there.
The third phone, HTC Smart is the less known phone and also the less powerful phone in the show. It run on Qualcom’s Brew OS, a name that sounds new to the most. With RRP RM779, it is one of the most affordable phone from HTC so far.
Regardless of the OS, all 3 phones interface looks identical, thanks to HTC Sense that now become the standard face of HTC phones. More spec of the phones can be found below.
