They JUST got done telling us leaking the HTC Desire (formerly Bravo) and now comes another phone-spill from Modaco – the HTC Legend. This should also be announced tomorrow when HTC has their official press event.

Is 600MHz even enough any more?
Whilst I appreciate that the low-end Android-based devices won’t have top notch hardware, those low-end devices also shouldn’t be running Android 2.1, in my opinion.
I guess this one has just been in development for a while, but so far as I’m concerned, it’s time for all new, high-end Android phones to have a 1GHz processor.

Khalid, heard of the Desire?

@Khalid
Enough any more? If 2.1 is more optimized than say, 1.6, then, yeah, you could argue that you can get the same results with a slower processor.

I was also disappointed to see 600MHz on this.
But WOW this thing is sexy-looking.

The specs are fine but it’s still ugly!

That’s a BEAUTIFUL phone, what are you talking about??? If you don’t like shiny chrome, silver, and graphite black, then you must not be much of a gadget guy. heh
But, man, if this had snapdragon …

I really like this this phone! Great looks and very nice specs, not as good as the Bravo or the nexus one, but I think that if the phone was more powerfull, I couldn’t have bought it. You can put everything on a phone, and all top of the line hardware, but you still need to be able to pay for it. If the bravo isn’t to expensive though, I will buy that one.

very nice looking, wish it was a little faster, but damn, thats one hot phone.

The screen needs to be a little bigger (going down to the buttons) and they should use the original tray style for this phone… the Sense UI one doesn’t seem to fit (at least imo)
