One of the hottest Android smartphones in Malaysian market right now is HTC Legend, which is also the latest HTC smartphone in the market, having just been launched last month. Being an Android user for almost 5 months till now, specifically with HTC Magic, I did get myself a unit of this phone, but unfortunately for just merely 5 days.

Well,  here is the first view of HTC Legend, out of the box, with the phone still in plastic cover. The style of HTC phone packaging is pretty much in the same way like its older phone such as HTC Magic that I had.

Taking out everything from the box… you got pretty standard accessories from any smartphones. HTC Legend package comes with AC adapter, USB cable, 2GB micro SD, manuals, battery, earphone and etc.

More HTC Legend images from different angle is available below. My first impression about this phone once I held it is, it is pretty heavy, something that I do no expect from the phone with this size. The weight is largely contributed by aluminium unibody casing that wraps this phone. It’s one solid phone that’s not easy to be cracked!

Generally, HTC Legend is a pretty phone with common HTC design language such as chin or buttons, which are nicely constructed on phone. At the glance, nothing really differentiate the looks from its older model, especially with HTC Hero.

The volume is placed on the left side of the phone, 3.5mm stereo audio jack at the top and the USB miniport at the bottom of the phone.

I must admit that AMOLED screen is gorgeous, and that’s the reason I sell this phone off as well. Basically I want a bigger screen, that’s all. Pretty lame excuse I guess.

I feel the responsiveness of the capacitive touch screen has improved from the model like HTC Magic. The scrolling from 1 screen to another is smooth. I have no longer accidentally clicking and opening the app icon while doing that. This improvement in performance is largely due to the more powerful processor as well as RAM/ROM that powers this phone.  HTC Legend runs on Android 2.1 with HTC’s own UI customization.

Lastly, here are some images of HTC Legend with HTC Magic side by side. Obviously HTC Legend is the better phone here, but unfortunately, that is not enough to persuade me to keep it much longer.
