Is Android as user-friendly as other mobile OS such as iOS or Maemo? Planning to get this Legend, coming from ex-iPhone user. Don't really give much thought on iPhone 4 by the way.

well, most of us here are vested in their Legend and you'll probably get a biased answer. biggrin.gif
I'll say try playing with your friend's Android phone and get a feel for it.
imho, i definitely thinks it's better than 3gs.

How many of you are using matte SP for your Legend? How's the screen quality like? I've got clear SP but am starting to have second thoughts due to the sheer amount of fingerprints I have to deal with everyday. sad.gif
*
my friend bought his Legend with PDAexpert and got a free matte SP. That matte SP made the screen really unresponsive (relatively speaking) compared to my clear SP. I flick my thumb to cycle the home screens but I need to press and swipe with my thumb on his matte SP. Maybe it's just a cheap quality matte SP, I don't know.

In case anyone wants to know, changing screen protectors is cheap thanks to this guy: antho1. Look him up in garage sales. Less than 5 bucks per sp.

Quality is pretty good as well from what I can see. The screen protector I bought from lowyat for RM30 is the same as the one I bought from him for RM4.

thanks bro.
since it's cheap, i should give it a try.

Added on June 17, 2010, 4:26 pmalso which office app to use on Legend? any free ones?

a froumer said he got it at rm1799 bout 10+ pages ago, so 1750 is ok.

I have yet to find the perfect casing + screen protector for my Legend. My next combo is going to be naked Legend and matte screen protector, and then capcase on it.

Office aps, didn't bothered with it. I have my laptop in my car for it.

as i understand it, htc sync isn't really friendly with 64 bit OS. htc need to hire better programmers.

Phone reception on the HTC Legend is not good. Also HTC Legend runs Android 2.1 but does not support Live Wallpaper like HTC Desire or Google Nexus One. For those who wish to upgrade their OS in time to come to support new features in Android 2.2 (Froyo), then forget about HTC Legend. Its not worth buying in my opinion.

Oh ya...a few more things wrong with this phone.
THe Aluminium body is prone to scratches and getting chipped off if you put them together with your keys, instance. Without a protective casing, this phone will be full of scratches if one is not careful. Also the phone slips off your hands very easily due to the casing. Aside from not having Live Wallpaper ( you will notice you cannot install them into your phone),  WIFI is weak...possibly also due to the Aluminium casing I believe. Plus, HTC Sync for the HTC Legend is also flaky. Not sure why, But this could be a problem with the HTC sync software running on the PC, most likely.
Also no video call camera and battery only lasts 1 day of usage. And I heard that HTC Legend will most likely have to wait a long time before it gets the Android 2.2 (Froyo) upgrade which is full of goodies and performance improvements.

some girl broke your heart and cheated a HTC Legend from you?

When HTC release official 2.2 for Legend, you should upgrade to it.
If you can't wait, you can root your Legend.

wow its hard to seriously take a guy who quotes his own post 40 minutes after he posted it

but I respect you for telling what is unsatisfactory for you about this phone, but stop telling your opinion like a goddamn fact dammit
particularly on that Froyo thing, it may or may not be true but what I know is the truth is that there is no way you can know what happens in the future anyway particularly when the only HTC official statement states that all their phones release in 2010 will get the update..
I cant take seriously your other claims after that statement
who gives a f* about the live wallpaper, its not something that make or break a smartphone
you'll change it to a static one sooner or later when you realize battery life is more important

seriously though, I dont think it matters coz people looking to buy legend over desire/N1is looking for something else,
you might be right, the price difference arent all that much, maybe around rm200 to 300 or even lower
so why buy legend when you can have desire
coz desire is fugly as hell thats why, seriously it looks like HTC just says "hey lets put in badass processor and slapon a giant screen on top of it" and then they forget to give it to the design team, seriously it looks lifeless to me, even the color is just downright ugly, i never like the look of the nexus one and the desire looks worse..
okay its not that bad, but there is nothing sexy about it, which is why you go and buy a legend
it gives you a decent performance that gets you away from the apple-sheep herd, and doesnt make you look nerdy at the same time

thanks for taking the time to response on my behalf.
I wanted to but I felt he was only worthy of a one liner from me.

I was shocked when I saw that post by HTC Singapore in FB that Android 2.2 not coming to Legend. Not only was it premature but would also deter potential customers.

I've checked the comments on that page and apparently that post is no longer there.

It wouldn't be right for them not to upgrade the Legend to 2.2 IMO. Two phones in the US with similar specs (one of it is even lower) to the Legend are being updated with 2.2.
-MyTouch 3G Slide (higher RAM at 512MB, everything else the same as Legend)
-MyTouch 3G (lower specs overall)
Both phones are manufactured by HTC and customized for T-Mobile. Heck there's even been rumours of HTC Aria getting 2.2 and that thing is IDENTICAL to the Legend in terms of specs.
*
HTC will be shooting themselves on the foot if Legend doesn't get 2.2 update. I don't expect HTC to update Legend to 2.3 at all (being a HTC customer all these years lowered my expectations) but 2.2 is a must.

I will encourage you guys to email HTC asking about that Singapore HTC FB posting. They will reply your email in one day.

HAHA.... wow, I really got a kick out of seeing you guys getting all your panties twisted up in knots becos of my comments on the HTC legend. Luckily, there's such a thing called freedom to express one's own opinion. And thanks so much for expressing each of your very entertaining comments too smile.gif

For the record  though -

1) The bold on the "no video call camera" must have been a glitch when I was typing...didnt mean to bold it actually smile.gif  I was fully aware of the lack of video call camera when I bought it.

2) Like I said -  the reception and wifi signals for me is weaker than other PDA phones I've used - and I read from the net is possibly due to the aluminium casing.

3) And I heard that HTC Legend will most likely have to wait a long time before it gets the Android 2.2 (Froyo) upgrade which is full of goodies and performance improvements....this time I'm deliberately bolding it so that you guys can read clearly that I never said Froyo wasn't coming to Legend...just that it (may) be a long wait before we see it happen.

4) I did mention that HTC Sync problem was probably due to the HTC Sync software running on the PC.

5) And I did mention that a protective casing is needed to prevent scratches.

And for those who offered to buy it for RM50 or 100, thanks but no thanks....I'll live with the agony of using this wonderfully hip looking android phone smile.gif

For those of you who love your Legend....heck, if it satisfies your requirements, then good for you! smile.gif

Lastly, I just want to say - I respect all your opinions, so please respect mine.

If you have things (good or bad) to share about this phone, lets hear them!
*
so feeling the heat and start backpedalling now, eh?

since you put them into points, let see
1) your own reading/typing mistake
2) have you updated to 1.31.707.3? It's OTA.
3) you heard, okkayy.... Desire is also on Android 2.1. Lets see how long Desire and Legend has to wait for 2.2
4) blame it on HTC software for all HTC model, not Legend specifically.
5) N1 and all phones in this world need protective casing to prevent scratches. your point is?

Can you please raise more relevant issues for Legend? I want my Legend to perform better.
But if this is the only issues you can raise, I felt really dumb for having my time spend this way.

LOL....well, if u felt dumb spending your time this way(and taking the time to respond to each point I made), then why bother in the first place? And for all the time spent responding to my post, you can't even come up with your own opinions about the phone....felt dumb , did you say? tongue.gif

ah. your reply has been totally towards me. None of it at all focused on the HTC Legend, which was your original point or intent. That's good, it shows we can move forward, instead of backwards, in this thread.

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 my 3gig data allocation to the max actually.

Great news from HTC . As long as we are getting it at the same time with Desire, no complain from me.
