Don't be fooled by the market hype, the iPhone is a great phone but how many incarnations has it taken to get there and still it falls short of the HTC's latest two offerings (Legend and Desire). The Legend for me looks better than any phone on the market and the screen is amazing. Pretty much every decent app there is for the iphone, android has too. I have had my legend for a month now and I cant imagine having any other phone!
I've had this phone for a week now & i'm quite amazed at its look & features. As soon as i removed it from the box & held the solid titanium in my hands i knew it was a keeper, never has a phone felt so solid & confortable in my hands before. The Amoled screen is bright & crisper than i've ever seen & there are alot of features to play around with. The capacative touch screen is extremely responsive & very easy to use. I considered getting the Htc Desire as it has a larger screen which makes easier for texting (as i have large fingers) however there is no problem with this at all. The camera is also excellent with pictures coming out crisp & bright, certainly the best camera on a smart phone at this moment.
Battery life on this phone is not great if like me you use it very often for texting, facebook, internet & twitter - normally at the end of the day i have about 30% battery left & i have to charge the phone over night. This does not fase me however if you're a heavy'ish user like me then be prepared for this. Highly recommended!
Utterly amazing build quality. Awesome OS. Everything about this phone is fantastic.
HOWEVER
For only 30 quid more, you can buy the HTC Desire which has a much higher resolution screen (800x480 vs 480x340), more RAM (576mb vs 384mb), wireless n (when android 2.2 is released), and a faster processor (1gz vs 600mhz).
This phone needs to be more than 30 quid cheaper to make up for this... unless you love the aluminium body just too much (it is amazing)...
i purchased this phone for my wife and having had it a week or so I'm a bit jealous of it!
It's utterly gorgeous to look at - the all-aluminium body is made from a single block of metal and looks stunning, feels light yet utterly solid in the hand.
The AMOLED screen is stunning, although it can suffer a little in bright sunlight. The deep black and rich colour makes movies games and pictures look incredible.
It feels very fast and responsive and the 7 home screens, coupled with HTC 'scenes' makes it incredibly customisable.
For example you can have a scene for work, with all your work-related items within a fingers reach, then switch to another scene and have the phone instantly ready for social networking, navigation etc.
There's a mass of widgets you can add to the screens to give you all your information at your fingertips and contacts can be cleverly synced so your friends facebook images appear next to all the instances where they appear in your contacts.
It now has full turn-by-turn navigation (voice guided) in the UK courtesy of Google Map's Navigation - again an awesome treat, you can even use street view to see *exactly* where you should be going.
Battery life is pretty good, and largely dependant on how much you use it - spend all day on games etc. and you might not make it through a day, but with moderate use, once the jaw-dropping admiration has stopped you can easily get through a couple of days without a re-charge. Fortunately it charges via USB so charging is easy via the power supply or a convenient PC.
Wireless range and signal strengths are a little lower than the best phones out there, mainly due to the all-metal construction and limited places where the antennae can be fitted.
I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this device and it has the build quality to last through years of use, draws looks of admiration from everyone and is capable of doing just about anything you throw at it.
As the title explains this mobile is AMAZING the aliminium body is so sexy , it is beautiful and so fast at tasks, The iphone is a loser now its taken 5 editions to get a decent camera with the iphone.
The android mobiles have beaten the iphone with almost all specs.
The gps is brilliant.
If you want an Iphone killer that rocks buy the htc legend
