http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/12/htc-legend-airs.jpgThat HTC Legend (http://gizmodo.com/tag/htclegend/) handset from the leaked roadmap (http://gizmodo.com/5420164/htc-2010-product-roadmap-leak-legends-salsa-buzz) we saw the other week has just been given another airing in public, with the Hero-esque aesthetics and specs revealed. LED flash, anyone?
Part of the "Lifestyle" range of phones HTC is cooking up, the Legend will contain a Qualcomm MSM7227 processor, which was revealed earlier this year (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Qualcomm-Announces-Low-Cost-MSM7227-Chipset-104554.shtml) for budget (sub-$150) smartphones. It'll be fast, but it's no Snapdragon, with the CPU clocking in at 600MHz. Internal memory is listed at 512MB with 256MB RAM, and the battery is a 1300 mAh floozy—again, nothing special, with the Hero having a 1500 mAh battery.
A 3.2-inch HVGA AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 5.0-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash (a one-up on the Hero, there), microSD slot, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, G-sensor, digital compass, 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB port round the Legend off nicely, but it's only the addition of an optical trackpad and LED flash which are the main differences between this and the Hero. Supposedly it'll launch in March according to Ai.rs, and the leaked roadmap (http://gizmodo.com/5420164/htc-2010-product-roadmap-leak-legends-salsa-buzz) of launches. I've still got one more question for HTC—will the bottom of the chin actually be red or green? [Ai.rs (http://ai.rs/2009/12/htc-legend/)]
