In the middle of May 2010, rumors pointed to Bell exclusively launching the HTC Legend, which would mark the company’s next flagship device after the Palm Pre.
The HTC Legend also marks Bell’s first Android device that will launch with Android OS 2.1. Bell’s current Android devices, the Motorola Dext and Samsung Galaxy, both feature Android OS 1.5, which severely limits a devices potential.
The HTC Legend is one of the most anticipated Android smartphones. From a hardware perspective, its form factor has captured the attention and praises of the press with its sleek aluminum unibody design, vibrant 3.2” AMOLED capacitive touchscreen and brushed metallic finish.
At the time of the rumor in May, reports pointed to a May/June 2010 launch time frame. We now have a confirmed date for launch on June 16, 2010. The device is set to launch for $79.95 with a 3-year agreement from Bell. Other device price points include $249.95 (2-year), $349.95 (1-year), and $399.95 (no agreement).
It seems that Bell is using the HTC Legend to target the HTC Hero from Telus and Sony Ericsson X10 from Rogers. Reports indicate that an internal Bell document contrasted the three devices together with a focus on the better features offered by the HTC Legend.
Some of the specs of the HTC Legend include:
HTC Sense UI
3.2-inch multi-touch capacitive AMOLED screen
5 megapixel camera with video
3.5mm headset jack
600 MHz Qualcomm processor
Up to 32GB storage with a microSD card
WiFi
