HTC Legend Gets FCC Aproval for US Debut, Might Be Renamed as Hero2

Tweet

Today we just caught wind that the HTC Legend has passed FCC approval, meaning that a US debut is imminent, with rumors talking of a release date sometime in the next few weeks. From what we can learn from the FCC filing, the Android-powered Legend brings GSM support to the table and a SIM card that helps you narrow down the mobile operator to start selling the device — anyone to bet on Sprint?

As you probably remember the HTC Legend runs on a sluggish 600MHz processor, features a 3.2-inch AMOLED screen, a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and an optical trackpad instead of the standard trackball. Other features include Android 2.1 with multi-touch support and a unibody design with a vertically inserted battery that covers the SIM and the memory card.

According to the documents, the device will support GSM/GPRS/EGPRS 850/1900, and feature 802.11 b/g WiFi and Bluetooth, but funny thing there’s no mention of 3G. We do have high hopes that there is 3G on the HTC Legend, but no support for WCDMA bands in the US.

So what do you guys think about the US version of the Legend?
