_Kailash_ 63 Report post Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) HTC has announced Google Nexus One's sibling HTC Desire with Sense UI clad Android 2.1 at the ongoing Mobile World Congress 2010. Yes, it's the same HTC handset codenamed 'Bravo' that got a mention on Swedish Mobile Operator 3's Facebook page last month. With 3.7-inch AMOLED multi-touch display, Desire sports 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. HTC will make Desire available in Europe and Asia in early second quarter of this year. Amongst the Android handsets, the current beloved Google Nexus One gets a cloned brother dubbed HTC Desire that may be the next preference for those consumers who won't get to see former one anytime soon. Both phones with almost the same specifications will kind of confuse users as to why HTC offers two phones with same hardware features. The new HTC Desire stands different from Nexus One on grounds of HTC's Sense UI and the former doesn't have a trackball navigation. Desire has 3.7-inch AMOLED WVGA display that is as much as existing smartphones like Motorola Droid and Samsung Omnia HD. Just like the Nexus One, HTC Desire equips 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU with 512MB ROM and 576MB Ram (while Nexus One has 512MB RAM). New Android 2.1 OS loaded on Desire also has layer of HTC's Sense UI that debuted with HTC Hero smartphone. Sense UI now features new Leap function that allows viewing different home screens at the same time by pinch gesture. We already know about Friend Stream feature that collates all the social Network updates to the contacts in Address Book. Other improvements come in the browser, web client, widget and better news reader application. Along with the Desire, HTC has launched two other devices at the MWC 2010 - HTC Legend and HTC HD Mini. HTC has announced the launch of three new smartphones - two based on Android and one on Windows Mobile 6.5.3 - at the ongoing Mobile World Congress 2010 at Barcelona. The new phones announced are the HTC Legend, the Desire and the HD Mini. We will be looking at each of the phones in separate stories. Let's start with the HTC Legend, which is arguably the best looker (and the most talked about as well) amongst the three phones announced. The Legend is a worthy successor to the HTC Hero, which itself is a very appealing Android handset. One look at the Legend and you will realize that it is not just another phone. The Legend is made of a single block of Aluminum, a thing made fashionable by the Apple Macbook Pro. HTC became the first phone manufacturer to replicate such a thing on a mobile device. Now, for the features. The HTC Legend comes with a 3.2-inch capacitive AMOLED display capable of displaying 320 x 480 pixels. While the resolution might not be "right up there", it is good enough. The imaging part is taken care of a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. Under the hood, there is a zippy 600 MHz processor partnering with 384MB of Ram . The internal ROM stands at 521Mb and is expandable using microSD cards upto 32GB. Connectivity options include all the expected options- Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS. The 1300Mah batter should be good enough to power the Legend for a reasonable amount of time. This, however, is a step down from the HTC Hero, which had a larger battery. The Legend will also use HTC's SENSE UI atop Android 2.1. On the software scheme of things, the Legend will be Android 2.1 laden and will add new features and UI options. For example, there is a "helicopter view" using which the user ca pinch the screen and choose which of the 5 homescreen options you would like to select from. There is also something known as the FriendStream that aggregates updates from your friends and contacts from various social networks and displays them intuitively. The Legend is expected to be announced in Europe by late March and will be eventually rolled out to the rest of the globe by April.

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Somehow I am liking the LEGEND even better than Desire due to its smaller form factor and FULL ALUMINUM SOLID BODY. Its an upgrade of Hero - I would like people to also see this complete presentation by HTC (though a little long 25 minutes) but it introduces all 3 phones - Edited February 18, 2010 by dkaile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
