H TC Mobile introduces an enhanced HTC Sense experience that will be available on the new HTC Legend smartphone that takes Android to the next level. The HTC Legend utilises HTC Sense, a user experience focusing on putting people at the centre by making the smartphone work in a more simple and natural way. This experience revolves around three fundamental principles that were developed by observing and listening to how people live and communicate. These core tenets of Make It Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected continue to be the key to the new HTC Sense experience.

 

HTC Legend smartphone features

Built around a newly enhanced HTC Sense, the HTC Legend smartphone boasts a unique design with a smooth, continuous surface, machined from a single aluminum block into a seamless compact frame. To complement its looks, the HTC Legend Smartphone includes a stunning 3.2 inch, AMOLED HVGA display. The traditional trackball has also been replaced with an optical joystick, surrounded by a narrow button to improve usability without interrupting its unique design.

"At its essence, the HTC Legend mobile phone is the most personal item you have in your possession. HTC Sense was created to magnify your ability to create and define your own unique mobile experience," said Peter Chou, chief executive officer of HTC Corporation. "The HTC Legend handset takes Android to another level in both substance, with HTC Sense, and style, with HTC Legend's revolutionary crafted aluminum unibody design."

 

 

HTC Friend Stream application on the HTC Legend Smartphone

The new HTC Sense experience continues to focus on improving your interactions with your most important people. This begins with a new HTC application and widget called HTC Friend Stream that seamlessly aggregates all of your social communication including Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr into one organised flow of updates. This simple aggregation on the HTC Legend cell phone makes it easier than ever to focus on what friends are doing as well as to view the images and links that they share. In addition to Friend Stream, people can be organised into specific social circles, such as groups of friends, colleagues or any other way that makes sense.

In addition, the new version of HTC Sense includes a new newsreader application and widget, as well as a new seven-screen ‘Leap' thumbnail view for quick and easy access to specific screens.

 

 

HTC Legend Vodafone phone

Patrick Chomet, Group Director of Terminals for Vodafone said, "HTC is a valued partner for Vodafone and has made a strong contribution to the growth of the mass market appeal of smartphones. Vodafone endeavours to offer our customers the widest and most compelling choice of smartphones and to that end the HTC Legend, the HTC Desire and the HTC HD mini will be ranged in selected Vodafone markets across our footprint. I'm particularly pleased that through our collaboration with HTC, Vodafone customers will experience a differentiated experience on the HTC Legend which will come customised for them with pre-loaded Vodafone 360 Internet services."
