hey guys it's brandon minuteman front pocket now calm and this is the hardware tour of the HTC legend first let's talk about specs the legend is running with a six hundred megahertz processor there's not quite as fast as you'll find on the nexus one or the desire but it's it's quite fast as you'll see in another video in terms of performance it's supported by 384 megabytes of RAM and 512 megabytes of ROM though it comes with a 2 gigabyte microSD card of course that's expandable up to 32 gigabytes it's also running with a 3.2 inch diagonal AMOLED touchscreen and mo let display technology is fantastic we're going to see more and more going into the future it doesn't have a traditional way of backlighting the screen which means that blacks are super black and it also helps a lot with power consumption it also has a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack bluetooth 2.1 Wi-Fi B&G and it doesn't have the bands necessary to do 3g in the US only overseas so that's UMTS ben's 920 100 megahertz so let's take a look at the device a little bit more closely let's zoom in to the top here we've got a basically a flush touch screen here that is very nice looking the real story on the legend is that it's made out of aluminum we're going to talk about that in a second soap here we have light sensor proximity sensor and the speaker grill the screen is an anti oil code in which does a really good job at keeping fingerprints away down here we have the typical android buttons and they went with actual buttons here instead of you know capacitive style buttons so we've home menu back and search now unlike the predecessor to this the hero this device has an optical trackpad so you can rub your finger around it it's not a little bubble like you got with the hero and you can also press it inward to select certain items on the screen you get the chin which is nice because it really makes it feel like a phone when you hold it up to your face I really like the chin and then we have a kind of a chrome looking volume up and down rocker we've got micro USB on the bottom with a volume control and this is where the lanyard loops in got this nice chiseled look on the side with this edge that's about three quarters of an inch laptop we have the power standby button and of course the the headphone jack here on the back on the rear of the device we see a lot of aluminum and we also see the 5 megapixel camera at the top with the LED flash which is nice and it's kind of a cool design where the speaker grill is and down here this is where you actually go to take out the battery because the legend is one piece of aluminum there's no front and Novak it's just one piece of aluminum so in order to get to all the stuff like micro SD card the SIM card and the battery you actually have to take this off and it takes a little bit of practice but then you kind of slide this up words the battery falls out I know very unusual and from here you can take out the sim card you can get out the the micro SD card and everything like that very unusual we've never seen anything quite like this but they've done a really good job at conserving space and keeping with this one-piece aluminum design now John Wong of HTC slammed this phone against a wall we're not going to do that I can tell you that the legend is absolutely incredibly strong feeling and it's not really apparent until you use it for a few days when you take it out of your pocket when you kind of squeeze it in your hand and flex it and you realize that this phone is extremely sturdy thanks to this aluminum design very nice looking very sweet device and it works and it feels very much like a really good phone device unlike say the HTC hd2 which of course is a phone but when you hold it to your face you kind of get the feeling like you're holding a old-school pd 8 here to your head so we've got a lot more coming up in the HTC legend we're going to talk about the software take a look at performance and how of the HTC Sense interface has evolved because there's a lot of new changes with this new breed of devices from HTC so tell us in the comments what do you guys think about the HTC legend so far let us know that's it for now
