Look, it's not a BAD phone if your not using it for anything except for a couple apps and phone calls. Other than that it sucks crap... The one of the best things about it is that it is damn near impossible to break. You can drop it from my height (5"10" or 180cm) onto concrete and you lose no data or phone. You may have to go hunting for bottom which flies off.

Great screen
Great for phone calls
Curved bottom (where the microphone is located) for better sound quality for the reciver

What I don't like

Bad social networking
Typical Android keyboard
Totally lags out if there is too much stuff

Worst Phone I ever had

Posted: Jan 28, 2012, 10:05 PM

Phone owned for more than a year

Need to restart this phone on average ever 2 days, It will only support the bare minimum of apps cause of the small amount of system memory, if I wasn't locked into a 2 year plan I would have brought it back within a few weeks of getting it.
I'll never buy anything from HTC again.

Bang For Your Buck

Phone owned for less than a month

Overall this phone is better than I expected. I bought it for the price and durability, but I ended up getting a very capable android phone. The htc sense interface is very nice to look at and play around with, although experiences a little bit of stutter at times. Games run fine as long as you install a task killer to free up memory on the phone. The internet browser is better than my iPod touch's and it supports flash! The screen is a little cramped for typing but it doesn't matter because I can type so quickly due to the predictive text engine being so accurate. Screen is very responsive and aluminum body makes it feel indestructible I wish felt a little heavier in my hand, but that may be a plus to some people. Camera takes surprisingly nice photos also for a point and shoot, but remember it's still a phone camera. Reception could be better, used to get full bars in the basement with my Lg Rumor 2, but now in one part of the basement I don't get any on the Legend still with the same carrier.
