HTC Legend

The HTC Legend is a new tablet-like Android-based (2.1) cell phone with a fairly sleek profile and large screen. It would appear to be the descendant of the HTC Hero and has the same size touch screen. It comes in a stylish aluminum frame with rubberized areas for grip and most likely impact resistance. It certainly is eye-catching to say the least. But will the features on it hold up to further scrutiny?
