they should have added more screen to all that space in between the screen and lower buttons, ugh

[Guest awarner (MVP)]

The device all look the same, just cosmetic changes.

Just hope the hardware is more of a surprise but somehow I doubt it.

[Guest SteveEdson]

That space won't look as big once it has the network name plastered all over it. I'll be getting this if the Desire/Bravo is too expensive.

[Guest hamzax7x]

what SteveEdson said, if the desire is too expensive then im ALL for this

HTC couldnt add more screen size to this phone since this IS a 3.2 inch AMOLED, they get panels from samsung in only two sizes

3.2 inch and 3.7 inch, and 3.7inch with a body like this would look awkward, and if they cut out some of that inner bezel, then the chin would look huge

leaving it like that seems logical

Can someone perhaps get me a price on the HTC Legend? I am in the US and would like to buy one. If you can help, I would appreciate it!

[Guest hamzax7x]

MOST Likely its gonna be around $600 to $700 if you buy it unlocked from an unlocked phones site for the first month

and then it will probably climb down to around $450

same thing happened with the european HD2, it was first $870 and then it dropped to $600 now

[Guest masterpfa]

Hmmm very nice. Have a look at the Hands On over at Engadget Here

Very Very nice!! :D

[Guest hamzax7x]

ooh $579 at smggsm.com, available for preorder

atleast its cheaper than what amazon.de is selling for
