Automationbites actually already listed this phone on their site. I'm thinking to purchase a unit from them but have anyone heard/bought any phones from them?

Are their prices generally okay and what about their after-sales service?

I asked and was quoted RM2100 by them. Look for this guy dreamitcentre. Apparently he's selling it at RM1999 with a free bluetooth headset. Original SIS warranty. Just checked with him again last night - no stock as yet.

Reddddddd! Unique but I still want the black one (or is it called dark brown?)

Dark brown like this one ah?

I've got the legendddddddddddd!

Thanks dreamitcentre! Excellent and nice seller. Recommended

Don't think have much time to meddle with it tonite. Can hardly open my eyes now and I seriously still don't know my way around the Android. I'm so lost LOL.

Which is why you should get it from dreamitcentre

I noticed quite a few things which I like are not featured in the Legend, namely the Live Wallpaper and the new Google Maps. I'm pretty sure there is one way or another to get it but it would be nice if the are there right out of the box.

I *think* I might have found the latest Google Maps but I still haven't got any luck with Live Wallpaper. Oh boy, so much to learn about Android.

AMOLED is fantastic, until you bring it under the sun that is. But other than that it beats any other types of screen out there in the market at the moment. Color is crisp and the viewing angle is excellent, not very good for people who wants more privacy with what they are doing on their mobile though.

The SIS set does come with Android Market, albeit it is an 'inferior' version of it. I don't see paid apps in it.

The only other complain I have at the moment is the lack of Live Wallpaper. I managed to get the APK of the latest Google Map (this is not found in the pre-installed Market though it's a free app) but haven't got time to install it yet. Hopefully it works because I do need the turn-by-turn navigation function.

None taken.

I certainly know how resource-hungry animated wallpaper is. But being new to Android, I'm curious of every possibility. After all, that's the exact reason why I switched from the iPhone. Also, I'm quite gila about eye candy lah...Hehe, otherwise would have opted for the Nexus One or Desire. But I'm attracted to the Legend's form factor and design. I know I might regret one day for choosing aesthetic over practicality.

I think I found Sygic somewhere but didn't know where to get the maps for Malaysia. Mind PM-ing me if you happen to know?

Cheers mate!

Is anyone using the pre-installed news widget? Mine doesn't seem to be updating itself though I've set it to update every hour! Help!

Mine doesn't seem to jut out or making any funny noises.

Yes, battery life is terrible. I charge it everyday but oh well, that's because I set all my accounts to sync every couple of hours or so But then, my News widget is not updating itself! Am subscribing to Malaysia Insider RSS.

Couldn't agree more. I'd even rather pay slightly higher just because I do not wish to put up to some seller's unpleasant attitude.

Added on April 10, 2010, 8:01 pmI'll attempt to answer you since I also switched over from 3GS.

1. The Legend performance is comparable to iPhone. The Legend, as you may already know, having a 600Mhz processor. The 3GS' processor has similar speed.

2. Yes it does.

3. Personally, yes. The availability of widgets for the Android platform beats the iPhone in this department, though of course, you may achieve the same on a jailbroken iPhone.

Does anyone find the Legend's battery life is a lil disappointing? I practically have to charge it daily. I've turned my widget update frequency to every 6 hours (from hourly previously). No significant improvement

And has anyone got any turn-by-turn GPS software on their Legend yet?

Added on April 14, 2010, 10:26 pmI have had similar problem. I've had "Quiet on Pickup" option checked by the way.

Ringtone sometimes quiet downs when it is untouched or the volume doesn't go down when pickup.

Urrrggghh!

And my News widget not updating itself.... ohhhh sigh

Uh-oh, this is becoming a Digi HTC Legend thread.

Boo hoo, i guess will have to wait for the official version.

I've got offline GPS on my iPhone too. And if you know me personally, you'll know how lost I can be without a GPS

I think we should all spam Papago asking them to release the version for Legend ASAP!

But did you try other apps?

Hmmm, I'm thinking we should get the Legend thread more organize some day. With information and helpful tips available easily for all Legend users. Oh well, maybe when I have time soon and when I'm familiar enough with the Android!

Or someone could start doing it now!

Added on April 16, 2010, 6:53 pmHmmm, does this work for 2.1... with Malaysian map? I *desperately* need the GPS app.

Me too, though it will suck more from the already crappy battery life!

Thanks for the speech-to-text keyboard mod. Wiill try it tmrw or so.

I'm also curious if we can hv turn-by-turn gps for google map ala Nexus 1.

i feel comfortable with the keyboard now (with predictive text turned off) but I would like the speech-to-text feature. Any option to add just that feature alone?
