Our Podcast co-hosts James and Matt have put together a, quite frankly, huge review of the new HTC Legend. Something of a must read if you have any interest in the phone or just Android in general. It’s rare that an almost perfect device comes along and by the sounds of it, the Legend falls into that category. Check out the review here.
To say we were excited to get the HTC Legend was an understatement! The Legend is the first of four devices officially announced by HTC at mobile world congress and we have been lucky to get our hands on it fairly swiftly. The HTC Desire, HD Mini and Smart are to follow shortly.
As expected with all new HTC devices the media has been buzzing like mad about the Legend and rightly so. As a follow on from the HTC Hero, the Legend, still sporting a chin, is going to be a hugely popular device and chances are that if you are reading this you will more than likely be interested in getting the Legend.
With its sleek unibody design with a brilliant AMOLED display and a brushed metallic finish, the Legend is an attractive handset.
Lets have a look at it in a bit more detail and see if it’s a worthy follow on from the HTC Hero. Read on for the full review.
Here we have another demo of the HTC Legend, this time a short one though! I thought I would show you just a couple of features on the device that I thought were pretty cool and new to HTC’s handsets and that we hadn’t covered in either of our earlier videos.
I was so eager to get the video recorded this morning that somehow I managed to make my tripod fall apart so I apologise for the wobbles here!
You can think of this video as a pre-teaser as the full review of the HTC Legend should be on the site later today so be sure to check back.

Video after the break…
Last week T-Mobile announced that they would have the HTC Desire available from the 26th March, somewhat sooner than many of us expected.
The HTC Desire is the flagship ‘Superphone’ from HTC and personally I think the pick of the bunch of new handsets announced by HTC at MWC.
Today we have news that T-Mobile have announced their tariffs for the HTC Desire, which start at £25/month for 24 months with a handset price of £129.99. This tariff does not include data though which you’ll no-doubt be consuming by the bucket load on this handset!
For an unlimited data tariff, prices start at £35/month, 24-months, and the handset will still cost you £49.99. Full details at Carphone Warehouse, where you can also put in a pre-order.
We hope to have our hands on the HTC Desire within the next few weeks, hopefully with a review just prior to launch to help you make up your minds!

In quite a slow news week we have managed to dig up a few stories to talk about. This week Matt and James have the HTC Legend and the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, we chats about issues with O2, Orange, Three, T-Mobile and much, much more!!
Some companies, that are based on offering their service via website, still think that they can get away with just doing mobile version of their website, instead of releasing an app. This is stupid. All such companies need to release its own apps. If they have their own content, they’d be better off releasing their app without offering API, but if they have user-generated content they should offer API and rather ask developers to make apps.
Fortunately IMDb – the database of movies – is not stupid and they have released recently their own, official (!) app:
