Looks to me like Milestone got some superior functions compared to Legend. Personally for me though, I'd choose the HTC Legend anytime.

Milestone main disadvantages
* No DivX and XviD video playback
* No smart and voice dialing
* Somewhat clumsy camera interface and limited camera features
* No free GPS navigation solution
* No Flash support for the web browser
* No FM radio

Legend main disadvantages
* No video-call camera (or videocalling whatsoever)
* No dedicated shutter key or lens cover
* No TV-out port
* No voice dialing
* No DivX or XviD video support out of the box
* Dodgy flash video support

Bigger screen leads to higher electricity output. AMOLED main advantage is its light saving compared to TFT or LED but the backlight is not as good as the other two. Its not saying AMOLED is superior although its the better technology than TFT. 16M color means both looks good and capacitive touch is the best the market can offer at the moment.

For me, both Milestone and Legend is still considered as the high end model. Perhaps soon after desire and what-not, it'll degrade to mid-tier model. But know this, android phones have the ability to update its firmware and its lacking function. So if you claim Desire is the better choice simply because its flash player is superior, that's where you're wrong. Once Android 2.1 (FroYo) comes out, it might also come with an update of a working Flash player for all android phones, including Legend and Milestone.

Well, it is the better choice for the moment, we are certainly not talking bout the future~
Android 2.1 upgrade who knoe when will come out?
We cant judge what is not already exist~
If you want to compare future upgrades, then better wait for newer ones LOL~

As I recall, TS is comparing Milestone and Legend. If you wanna put in Desire into the fray for its obvious superiority, why don't we all recommend Samsung Omnia II and SE Xperia X10 into the fray as well? LOL~

As far as I know, Digi has a Smart Plan package that bundles together with HTC Legend that cost only $999 for a 24 month plan. I'm clueless so far on any promotion sales of Milestone OR Desire.

Yeap~
This is the newest plan from Digi for Legend..
Hopefully Desire will be offered by DiGi~

If it does, I don't have any problem recommending Desire as well. The thing is, for a touchscreen that cost a bomb, money is not only the issue....warranty is.
