Looks wise, Bravo is a sure-win. But I read it's going to be a budget HTC. The green plate is really ugly though.

 

[metamorph8]

I have a feeling that the green plate can be swapped for a plate in a colour of your choice.

Reviews of Legend are pouring in now. So far, most reviews gave quite a good score.

M1 currently have a promotion/contest for HTC Legend:

No news from Starhub and Singtel yet. Does it mean M1 will have exclusive rights to sell HTC Legend?

The one i saw others reviewing on youtube does not have that weird green plate.
Well, i guess you can change the choice of color of the plate.

Oh man....are we entering the age of handset exclusivity like in the US again?

Looks like contract free handsets are going to be the main choice for serial changers again.

Gonna stick to desire instead.

Apparent it is either swappable, or comes in black instead. I like the glossy buttons! But too bad, already got Hero. Next upgrade will be an Android with 1gb processor, probably Bravo.

still Bravo? Already got proper name for it.

Dunno how desire fares... heard the legend's battery life needs to be fixed... lasts no more than a day on heavy usage due to firmware issues...

Hopefully the desire gets to Singapore, seeing nexus one has been skipped, i'm a little worried...

 

[eventidephoenix]

uh oh just read more about the press conference... HTC Legend and HD mini were announced, but Desire was left out!

*panic*

looks like it's Legend afterall

paisei forgot to link XD

Yea sucks to be a desire-wanter! I think it will be skipped... Singapore Telcos are very practical... cannot sell, then don't bring in...

actually it makes sense to bring it in....I think for every Nexus owner out there, there are 10 more who wouldn't mind having a Desire on contract.

Maybe it's just not due yet...no point jumping to conclusions. iirc Legend was also launched in a few countries first, without Desire. But I'm guessing it will be launched here in due time....don't panic. Maybe still need to satisfy demand in other areas. Remember, we are just a stinking red dot. We can wait.

Honestly, how many anticipated phone that works in SG hasn't been launched here for no reason at all? Can't think of many.

 

[satch]

600mhz processor....3.2" screen... i'll pass

 

[mtb2104]

I was so into the alum unibody thingie that I have not re-contracted my main line...

But now if it is M1 exclusive.....

Luckily the MS was cheap... and it has plenty of metal to please me

 

[Skyy]

Ya the Legend in terms of horsepower is a bit weak.. not worth as an upgrade from the Hero, might as well jump straight to the snapdragons

Desire will not be skip in SG. That legend announcement is for April release.

The question for desire release is IF it is exclusive on which carrier....

Seeing how Telstra has exclusivity on HTC Desire.

Really hope so... a good alternative to Legend... until something is done about its battery life, which is more important to me than function, i'm gonna stay out for a while...
