New Delhi (India), April 19, 2010 — HTC Corporation, a global designer of smartphones, today announced the launch of the HTC Legend in India. The HTC Legend aims to take Android to the next level with the enhanced HTC Sense experience. 

Stylish Smartphone
The sleek uni-body design with a brushed metallic finish, the HTC Legend sports 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 includes a stunning 3.2 inch, OLED 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. 

"HTC Sense was created to magnify your ability to create and define your own unique mobile experience,” said Ajay Sharma, Country Head, HTC India. “HTC Legend takes Android to another level in both substance with an enhanced HTC Sense experience and also scores high in style with HTC Legend’s revolutionary crafted aluminum uni-body design.” 

An Enhanced HTC Sense Experience
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 Friend Stream that seamlessly aggregates your social communication including Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr into one organised flow of updates. This simple aggregation 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. 

The new HTC Sense experience also introduces broad improvements to applications including the browser, email client and others. 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.

The HTC Legend includes a stunning 3.2 inch, OLED HVGA display and a 5 mega-pixel autofocus camera with LED flash. The HTC Legend is loaded with hidden little design touches that are sure to delight you, e.g., the ringer volume automatically lowers when the phone is picked up. The HTC Legend also comes with GPS antenna, Wi-Fi and 3.5G connectivity, 3.5 mm stereo audio jack connector and a variety of multimedia entertainment services. In addition, with the latest Android, HTC Legend allows transmission of data files like contacts, music and photo via Bluetooth. Browsing on the HTC Legend is also a high fidelity experience. Adobe Flash® support brings to life the vast video and gaming content of the Internet.
