There are plenty of new Android smart phones that are heading our way this 2010, and it comes as to no surprise that two of the most anticipated devices will be coming from HTC.
HTC has had a long history with the Google Android operating system. The Taiwanese manufacturer is one of the founding members of the Open Handset Alliance and they have been the first company to make smart phones that use the OS. The HTC Dream and Magic phones are, until now, some of the most impressive touch screen devices (though no word of updates for the old G1 phones have been reported). HTC is also the manufacturer behind the very first Google branded Android device, the Nexus One.
Recently, the HTC Bravo and the HTC Legend were both confirmed for a March release date and the Mobile World Congress last week revealed that the Bravo would be renamed as the Desire.
The Desire is one of the most anticipated devices this year because it has all the hardware features of the Google Nexus One, but is significantly easier to get. Google has made the Nexus One exclusively available on the Google Online store. This makes the Desire a more viable alternative. It comes with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a 5 mega pixel camera and a 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen.
The Legend on the hand is a smart phone of choice for the more budget concerned buyer. This device serves as the successor to the HTC Hero and comes with a stylish aluminum casing. The phone has a 600 MHz Qualcomm CPU, a 5 mega pixel camera and a 3.2 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen.
Both HTC devices combine the new Android OS with the HTC Sense user interface.
