Legend, Desire or HD mini should be your questions in case you choose HTC. The three mobile devices had been presented by HTC during a press conference last week at MWC 2010, Barcelona.
Let’s begin with Legend, a model we’ve previewed last December in one of our post, discovering all of his features, but this was not official as it was at MWC. Made of a single piece of aluminium, the Legend phone has an AMOLED display with 16 M colors. It features an optical trackball, under the display and a 5 megapixel camera, on the back.
The processor is clocked at 600 Mhz and supports the Android™ 2.1 platform (Éclair) with HTC Sense. The storage has 384 Mb(RAM) and 512 Mb(ROM) which can be extended through microSD card slot, up to 32GB. Connectivity offers Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, Gprs, MicroUSB and the Li-Ion battery has 1300 mAh.
Enough with Legend, next is Desire.
Desire model is one the biggest mobile phone released by HTC on the market. It comes with an 3.7-inches AMOLED touchscreen and 1 Ghz Snapdragon processor(same as Nexus One). The operating system is the same as Legend, Android™ 2.1. Under the display there are 4 buttons and in the middle, is situated a trackpad. The back camera has 5 megapixel and the battery is an Li-Ion one with 1400 mAh. Internal memory has 512 Mb, the RAM one 576 MB and the connectivity options stays the same from Legend.
The last, but not the poorest model presented by HTC at MWC 2010 was the HD mini one.
As design HD mini is the smallest version of HD 2 model and comes with a 2.7-inches touchscreen. The processor has 600 Mhz and features Windows Mobile 6.5 version for operating system with HTC Sense user interface(UI). The back camera is the same, 5 megapixel as well as the connectivity features, but the battery is a Li-Ion one with 1200 mAh.
These are the three wonders that HTC featured during MWC 2010 and plans to launch this year.

The phone presented today comes from China and is a Dual Sim, a concept that we all hunt these modern days. Allview S2 Guld supports 2 sim cards same time, meaning that from now on you will have 1 phone less now.
Don’t expect an awesome phone with blowing features, this is not a Nokia, Apple or Google made device, is one made in China.
We begin and say the TFT resistant display has 2-inches, 65.000 colors and supports a resolution up 240 x 320 pixels. Phone has 12.5 mm thick, 104 grams and 32 Mb internal memory(microSD card is supported up to 8GB). A special feature available on this phone is called turn to mute, which basically mutes the sounds of the phone(Calls or Alarm notifications) by turning the device upside down.
The design of the phone is simple and business: on the bottom of the phone you will find a 3.5 mm jack and the miniUSB port, while the sideways is features by a stainless insertion.
On the back of the phone is a bad example of 1.3 megapixel camera, capable of photos and even videos. Right near the camera there is the speaker grill, hiding the Yamaha sound amplifier, which provides an excellent sound experience. Under the case there is a Li-Ion 800 mAh battery which provides up to 3 hours of talk time or 100 hours of stand by.
If you are thinking about connectivity features you should know that GPRS, Bluetooth and Wap are supported. Phone is also equipped with usual apps: Alarm, Calendar, Watch, Calculator, E-book reader, Fm Radio.
Allview S2 Guld is available in stores since Q4 of 2009 with an estimated price of $150.

It may seem a Corby for you folks, but let me tell you you are half right. The model we present today is Samsung B5310 CorbyPro, an updated version of the successful Corby phone.
The major news is that it supports Wi-Fi, Gps and comes with a sliding full qwerty keyboard, but still lacks on some features that we would expected to score better.
Announced by Samsung last year, the new released phone comes with a 2.8-inches resistive touchscreen with 16M colors and a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.
The whole phone is made by plastic, has 15.8 mm thick and weights 135 grams so it doesn’t seem so heavy or large for our pockets. Above the touchscreen there is a videocall camera and the earpiece while on the bottom there are 3 buttons(Call, Back, End Call).
The left side of the phone host the volume rocker buttons while on the right side we will find a microUSB port, a camera shutter key and the Lock/Unlock button for the touchscreen. A 3.5 mm port jack is situated on the top of the phone.
Try to slide the phone to the left side and you will discover the QWERTY keyboard. +Continue Reading
