Besides the HD mini, HTC (fortunately) thought of the Android-fans. The announced HTC Legend is supposed to follow up the Hero while the Desire above all has to supply mere processor power.

For the watchful Newmobile reader; the Desire is the device we formerly knew as the Bravo; HTC's performance phone. Let's starts with the HTC Desire.

HTC Desire

You could describe the Desire as HTC's own Nexus One; in terms of specs we see many similarities. A 1 GHz processor, 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen, optical trackball and the newest version of the HTC Sense. The HTC Desire runs on the new Android 2.1

HTC Legend

Owners of the Hero attention; the Legend will shortly follow up your device. The device is made of aluminum and therefore has a unique design and exclusive appearance. You will be spoiled by a high quality 3.2 inches wide AMOLED touchscreen.The trackball which gave a lot of problems to the Hero has been replaced by an optical variant. The 5 megapixel camera works well with its flash and makes great pictures, also in places with little light.
