The HTC Legend Smartphone is one of HTC's handsets planned for release next year. A probable successor to the HTC Hero, the Legend does seem to have inherited its looks from the former, with the raised chin and the large touchscreen. However, while the Hero was more of plastic, the Legend is supposed to have a metallic case.

The new HTC mobile handset is an Android-based gadget. Speculations are that Android v2.1 will be featured. There is an HVGA touchscreen and an optical tracker/scroller. A 600MHz Snapdragon processor is supposed to drive this handheld. Updated versions of HTC People and Footprints (ie People II and Footprints II) are expected to be integrated into this smartphone.

This gizmo will otherwise pack in 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, A-GPS along with a G-Sensor and a digital compass. A 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card slot, a media player, an FM radio and a 5MP camera are reportedly built-in too.

The HTC Legend Android Mobile Phone is reckoned to make its debut appearance in World Mobile Congress, 2010, in Barcelona, and to release sometime in March 2010. Considering that high-end phones like Nokia N900 and Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 are going to be released just before this handheld, we really wonder what kind of mobile phone deals and mobile offers it will ship with.
