Can anyone make a comparison between this and the google nexus one?
Whats the difference actually?
I watched some video regarding nexus one but not quite like the interface, I prefer the htc sense in hero more though
Here's a quick comparison between these 2 phones, specs wise:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPho...7&idPhone1=3069 As we can see there are quite a number of differences between them for example OS, dimensions, video recording.

i think the price should be over RM2k...
but hope it will cheaper than the AP price of Nexus One in malaysia.
Agreed, with the HTC Legend newly priced at RM1999. I am hoping not more than RM2500.

Really? Says who? Did HTC make any announcement? Is this an April Fool's Day joke?
I only know that today is the rumoured launch date for HTC Legend.
HTC Legend launches first according to HTC official site. HTC Desire fanatics will have to wait.
Another good video review:

i think its not distributed by SIS Msia...
wonder how about the warranty...
Fantastic news! I believe AP warranty on applicable by going through their shop and not through HTC Malaysia. Correct me if I am wrong.
