Vodafone Looking at an Android March

When March rolls over, Vodafone will be starting off an impressive lineup of Android smart phones.

The mobile network operator has already released the expected prices for the upcoming HTC Legend smart phone. They are currently offering the smart phone for as low as £2 (1.99) at a monthly tariff of £25 –it’s a great deal, though most might prefer to go for slightly more expensive deals with more free minutes.

The Legend was finally shown off by HTC at the previous Mobile World Congress. The device came out alongside the HTC Desire (previously known as the Bravo) and the HTC HD Mini. HTC’s Legend smart phone is considered to be the successor of the HTC Hero (also an Android smart phone) as it possesses similar specs. This smart phone stands out with its aluminum casing and sleek new look. It comes with a 3.2 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen and a 5 mega pixel camera. Speed will not be an issue with Qualcomm’s MSM 600 MHz CPU running the Legend.

Just like the HTC Desire, the Legend uses the HTC Sense user interface. It takes away a little from the Android experience, but since the Sense UI is still fun to use, the change is insignificant. Overall, the Legend is a great deal for mid range smart phones for those who are not willing to dish out the extra few hundred Pounds for the Desire.

The Legend will be coming out with the Desire this March and next April, Vodafone is expected to being offering the Google Nexus One. While the Legend and the Desire will be available right off the shelves, the Nexus One will still be limited to the Google store.
