As expected, Vodafone UK have officially announced availability for the new HTC Desire and the HTC Legend, with a release date confirmed forĀ April. Two of the most eagerly anticipated Android-powered smartphones of the year, while the HTC Desire will also be available on O2 in the UK, we’re hearing that the Legend will be a Vodafone exclusive.

For those out of the know, HTC Desire comes with a 3.7 inch touchscreen AMOLED WVGA display that delivers amazing colors, has a 5megapixel camera and is powered by a powerful 1 GHz Snapdragon processor. It also brings a “clever trackpad” for easy browsing, multi-tasking and Facebook, Twitter and Flickr integration along with HTC’s Friend Stream functionality. And did we mention there’s an Adobe Flash Player (Flash 10.1 support) built in to your HTC Desire? Sounds like a real winner to us …

On the other hand, the Vodafone UK exclusive HTC Legend sports a smaller 3.2-inch touchscreen, the same 5 megapixel camera and a slower 600MHz processor. The interesting thing is that when launched it will come pre-loaded with a range of Vodafone 360 services (Vodafone Music and MyWeb), access to the Android Marketplace for apps and the company’s Sense UI.
No word how much you’ll have pay to get your HTC Desire or HTC Legend but Vodafone UK promises to keep us updated.




Are you sure about the Legend processor? Every report seems to suggest it’s the (600MHz) Qualcomm 7227.
Geoff W you’re totally right.
I didn’t want to say it’s the same processor but some editing-gone-wrong .. and thats what I came up with.
It’s fixed now. Thanks for the heads up!
