The launch of the HTC Legend in India was announced today by HTC Corporation, a global designer of smartphones. The main aim of HTC Legend is to take Android to the next level with the enhanced HTC Sense experience.

The HTC Legend, with sleek uni-body design and a brushed metallic finish, sports a unique design with a smooth, continuous surface, machined from a single aluminum block into a seamless compact frame. The HTC Legend includes a stunning 3.2 inch, OLED HVGA display to complement its looks. Surrounded by a narrow button to improve usability without interrupting its unique design, the traditional trackball has also been replaced with an optical joystick.

Ajay Sharma, Country Head, HTC India, said, "HTC Sense was created to magnify your ability to create and define your own unique mobile experience. 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."

As is its reputation, the new HTC Sense experience continues to focus on improving your interactions with your most important people.

It starts with a new HTC application and widget called Friend Stream that seamlessly aggregates your social communication, which include Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr into one organized flow of updates.

It is made easier than ever by this simple aggregation to focus on what friends are doing as well as to view the images and links that they share. Other than Friend Stream, people can be organized into specific social circles, such as groups of friends, colleagues or any other way that makes sense.

Broad improvements to applications including the browser, email client and others are also introduced by the new HTC Sense experience. Also, 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.

In addition to a 5 mega-pixel auto-focus camera with LED flash, the HTC Legend includes a stunning 3.2 inch, OLED HVGA display.

There are many hidden little design touches in HTC Legend that will surely delight you, e. g., the ringer volume automatically lowers when the phone is picked up.

The additional facilities of HTC Legend include GPS antenna, Wi-Fi and 3.5G connectivity, 3.5 mm stereo audio jack connector and a variety of multimedia entertainment services.

With the latest Android, HTC Legend allows transmission of data files like contacts, music and photo via Bluetooth.

Other highlight of HTC Legend is browsing which is a high fidelity experience. Adobe Flash® support brings to life the vast video and gaming content of the Internet.

At a Market Operating Price of Rs. 25,990.00, the HTC Legend™ will be available at all authorized HTC resellers across the country.
