HTC has been on the forefront of Android technology ever since the operating system took off, but the HTC Hero was the first to show how profoundly the platform could be personalized. The handset was the first to feature the manufacturer’s proprietary HTC Sense interface that was to appear on Windows phones later on (when the company renamed TouchFLO to Sense). We do like the interface that, along with the innovative design of the HTC Hero, managed to excite us enough to rate the Hero 9/10, despite the slightly irksome issue with the lagging software the handset was plagued by at that time. The device has gained great popularity in the US and the credit goes to the two CDMA versions that hit the shelves on Sprint (HTC Hero) and Verizon (branded as the HTC DROID ERIS).
And as the old tales go, after the Hero comes the Legend. The HTC Legend is a direct successor to its famous predecessor and even a passing glance at its specifications should be enough to convince you these two are not that dissimilar. The hardware differences include AMOLED display, aluminum body, faster CPU at 600MHz and increased amount of RAM (384MB against 288MB).
