HTC intros new-look Legend, Desire

Black and white

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Apple, meet HTC. It has made use of the same production technique you use for your "unibody" Macs: milling the casing out of a single block of aluminium.

HTC Legend

New-look Legend

The first HTC handset to get a unibody of its own is the Legend, but to help avoid invidious comparisons it has finished the phone off in "phantom" matte black.

Looks rather good, we think.

HTC Desire

New-design Desire

HTC has also issued its Desire phone in a new design, this one bright white. Both new looks will be available later this month. ®

OK, don't know why this was rejected the first time...

...since it was neither trolling nor objectionable, but:

"The first HTC handset to get a unibody of its own is the Legend, but to help avoid invidious comparisons it has finished the phone off in "phantom" matte black."

Errr...given the Legend has been out as an aluminium unibody (matte silver)since its release in, what, March?, what you seem to be saying is "Here's the HTC Legend...in a different colour!". Don't get me wrong, great phone, but still...not really news?

Legend

Glad to see there's still life in the Legend, sitting nicely form-factor-wise between the tiny and gargantuan Android offerings, whilst not compromising on specs. Hopefully this might see its network availability expand a bit though, and breed a bit of competition? It's still my #1 choice, but yet to find a compelling deal.
