Like ashburn98 said : I will pretty much say any smartphone nowdays should go with a broadband/data package. It's like having a sportscar (smartphone) and not straight highway road on (data usage).

I'm using DiGi SmartPlan since last month, and I do like it.

hi... not sure if u guys brought this up b4... but seems the Legend does not have the Voice Recognizer with it? is there any way to enable it? or absolutely not due to it being part of the firmware? notice the lack of this feature when trying to use the Search w/o mic or appz like TalkToMe... any comments? found this one tho -> cyanogenMod...but need to root the phone first ...haiz...

:edited:
ignore my post ya... i may have just found wat i'm looking for ... my bad...

To answer your question directly, YES, its pretty similiar to Iphone/BlackBerry in the way that Android phones have the Android Market where you can download heaps of free/paid Android software. So you're better off with a data plan if you want access to the Android Market. Without a data plan, the alternative is to use WIFI-enabled internet access.

You can also make use of the VoiceToText capability together with HandCent SMS ( need to enabled under Speech settings); thereby allowing your HTC Legend to capture your voice message and translate it to text and then all you need to do is to press the [SEND] button to send off your SMS. Its not perfect, but works great for sending simple messages while you're driving (for instance).

Some people say the wifi signal weak is cause by the aluminium body, abit reasonable but not sure true or not.

It's definitely true!! My wifi signal totally drop when i close up my room's door, previous nokia 5530 still "good", but legend "poor"

It's true, since aluminium - and most metals for that matter - reflect radio signals, weakening its strength. That's why the Legend's radio antennas are built onto the plastic battery compartment cover. HTC recommends that you try not to cover the bottom cover with your palm to improve reception - a bit hard to do while holding the phone if you'd ask me.

Same here, but supposedly the latest OTA update suppose to have improved the wifi signal a bit. Last time my room no signal, but after update got very low signal.

Too bad if really cause by the aluminium body, i planning to get legend or samsung wave as my 1st touch screen hp, it seem legend out!!!

Don't rule out the Legend just because it's aluminium-made! There's nothing wrong with the aluminium, it's just reception seems to be slightly weaker - not totally unusable. It varies from person to person but mine's usually only a bar weaker than other phones, if not the same. Call quality is superb, zero dropped calls so far. Wifi speed is fast as long as you're not 2-3 walls away from your wireless point.

By the way, the radio antennas I meant are Wifi and cellular network antennas. Not the FM radio antenna. Fellow Kuchingnite here.

I said legend is out cause of my office at the last room, then the modem and router is near main door, i scare cant connect at all so i dont want to take risk. Besides, legend really a nice phone and i from Kch also, currently at Singapore,

The signal drop, but you still can received call, just the quality is bad, further more, when there left only 1 bar of signal, the battery consume more, more energy expose out to auto increase the signal receiver, bad thing also come in for radioactive...

Hi, can you teach me how to enable the Voice recognition?

Oh, you mean we need a third party software to have this work? Ok, thanks!

anyone try on signal booster sticker? is it work on htc legend?

apa itu?

any of you guys got this problem? everytime I use the original handsfree and when I get out from the car I unplug it, most of the time the music player will turn on and start playing music thru my phone... darn irritating

nope,
when i unplug the handsfree kit, the music stops playing.

huhu same bug found in the Milestone. But Milestone has a fix thru updated SBF

Was walking in Gardens during lunch and bought a Capdase leather pouch for my Legend. Will post up some pics later tonight when I get home =D
