Have a HTC Legend for my own and my mum bought the Samsung G5. The moment i used the G5, all i can say its very comfortable. Despite the small screen, its no biggie as i myself isnt really a app freak and only have some essential ones installed.

The grip itself is so much comfortable than the HTC Legend and the practicality in the G5 makes more sense than in HTC Legend (Memo, File Manager anyone?) No compromise in the MP3 playback as it is better than HTC Legend itself.

Samsung indeed keep some of the Android stock assets in the OS like the lock screen and the top bar itself alongside with Samsung own Launcher replacement which is IMO a smart move.

HTC Legend have its own appealing moments like the aluminum body, larger screen but G5 IMO slaps the Legend around in other aspect that makes the RM1950 a bit of disappointment to me tongue.gif

G3 vs G5? I would go for GS right away. But to me 1GHZ is like a test water for the processor makers to know which direction to go for in the future. Not to mention, 4" is really worth the RM2199 RSP for GS.. oh oh.. the FROYO too biggrin.gif
