hey guys it's Brandon minute man from pocketnow.com and in this video we're an unbox the HTC legend here you may remember the legend from Mobile World Congress where john wong of HTC slammed the device against a wallet to prove how rigid and durable it is it is cut from a single block of aluminum kind of like the MacBooks so it's very rigid very durable it also is a really interesting feel to it we're gonna do our own durability tests it also has an AMOLED display which means great battery life fantastic contrast it has Android 2.1 the latest version of sense and a lot of other goodies that we're going to talk about coming up soon let's get to the unboxing of the HTC edge all right here we go looks like a very similar box to the newest HTC devices which makes a lot of sense let's take off this bubble wrap here very cool it shows actually the block of aluminum and implying that it's cut out of a block of aluminum at least I think that's what it means let's take a look around the box and see what we have here let's zoom in a little bit on the specs so it's running at 600 megahertz CPU it's got android 2.1 which is of course equip it's got 384 megabytes of ram with 512 megabytes of rom this will not do 3g in the US unfortunately but if you you're in Europe you'll definitely be able to get 3G it's got the AMOLED capacitive multi-touch screen GPS of course and we'll talk more about specs in a future video let's look at the legend so I think it slides out actually on the bottom you need to sort of run your finger now along here let's take a look Wow tiny little device but to put that to the side very solid feel I can tell you in hand already and let's take a look what else we got interesting that HTC put the battery behind the device they usually package it sort of underneath of everything here let's see how big the battery is it is 1300 milliamp hours quite nice size she did a really good battery life thanks to the AMOLED screen in the large battery life see what else we have here some random stickers some plugs micro SD card two gigabytes that's always a welcomed addition HTC manual warranty statement safety and regulatory guide let's see if we get a case hopefully we do accessories a little wall charger here HTC pretty much includes the same accessories on all their devices these days so here we have microUSB and headphones no case unfortunately let's take a look at the device okay so here it is I'm going to take off this film get a better feel for the device it definitely feels thinner than the hero we reviewed the hero the screen is only 3.2 inches diagonal which is the same size as the iPhone the devices are coming with larger and larger screens these days the the legend isn't really intended to be a multimedia machine I don't think it's just has a really great form factor very durable has buttons down here makes it easy to operate with one hand but it feels very very solid and it has a really interesting way that you get to the battery you kind of slide this bottom part here that's where the SIM card goes and what to look more into that to see exactly how all of that stuff works but it's really interesting to feel a device that is carved from aluminum okay let's take a look at the legend next to some other devices here we have the iPhone it actually made a mistake the screen on the iPhone is 3.5 inches on the legend it is 3.2 inches of course you got that chin that sticks out on the bottom and the the legend is pretty thin not as thin as the iPhone really liking the feel of this phone it's very on the usual very solid feeling let's see it next to the HD 2 of course it's kind of quite a difference in screen size there let's see it next to and device like the palm palm pixi which obviously it's a much smaller screen different form factor completely you should probably stack them this way and next to another HTC device that was very very popular the HTC Touch pro2 just to kind of get a feel the tallness is pretty much the same here but of course the touch pro2 is can be much thicker because it has that slide-out keyboard the keyboard on the HTC legend is an onscreen keyboard but HDCP boards are very very good it's got a glass multi-touch capacitive screen so in that very sensitive great feel to the keyboard so that was the unboxing of the HTC legend and something that I just noticed is that the branding here on the back is extra-large if you look at a recent device like the HD 2 the HTC branding was very modest but on the legend not so much I guess that's an OK thing HTC wants to show off their brand a little bit more and you know I'm proud to be using an HTC phone I think a lot of other people are too so not too big of a deal having the larger logo back here and of course they have with HTC Sense they're also trying to promote that in a really big way so a lot more coming up on the HTC legend sure to follow us on youtube by subscribing to our Channel that's it for now
