Nexus One: Launched on T-Mobile Also as an Unlocked Device

A tablet like Device running Windows Mobile 6.5

HTC HD2: Launched on T-Mobile With a Huge 4.3" Screen

During the WMC we saw a huge new selection of devices from HTC. After the Release of the Nexus One and the HD2 we have come to expect even more from them. With the Nexus, with its 1GHz CPU, 3.7 inch display, and Google support and the HD2 with 1 GHz CPU, 4.3 inch screen, and Window Mobile 6.5, HTC has raised the bar for Smartphone...again. But, the gorgeous Nexus One and HD2 were only the start.Now they have introduced more devices, like the HTC Desire and Legend at WMC 2010. These new devices continue to seamlessly blend screens, a 1Ghz cpu, and great features into one beautiful device.

The Desire on the bottom left, is HTC's very own version of the Nexus One and as you can see it is pretty much the same. On the bottom right is the beautiful Legend, which is thought to be a new version of the Hero, which is pictured in the middle. I have to say I really like the aluminum body of the Legend, it reminds me of my MacBook Pro and like the MacBook Pro, it is one beautiful piece of hardware. Hopefully this device finds its way to the US!

The HTC Hero: To Be Replaced By the Legend?

As you have probably noticed the only difference in the Phones is this newly added Optical track-pads as well as the four buttons on the bottom of the phone. Now I haven't used the optical track-pad yet so i'm not sure what to think of it. However, I love the Nexus One's Track-Pad and i think I will favor the physical trackball over the optical one. But, until I  can test one out myself, I remain open-minded.

Are these new superphones all that much better?

This is was my main question. While the new HTC phones are prettier they have the same power as the Nexus and HD2. So, while the Legend my replace the Hero, I think that HTC built the Desire to widen the options available to their costumers, not to challenge the Nexus.

The HTC Desire: The New and Improved Nexus One... or is it?

The HTC Legend: Kick-Ass Phone with a Macbook Pro Resemblance

So, is HTC's Desire better than the Nexus One? Did Google and HTC, working together, create a better device than HTC alone? Well I think that this is mostly a matter of personal preference, the hardware is exactly the same with the exception of the trackball to optical sensor and the different buttons on the bottom of the phone, so it depends on if you like sense or just stock android 2.1 better.

Being the owner of the Nexus One and a Droid Eris, I personally can say that I like the Nexus better than the Desire. But, its up to you...
