With 160,000 activations a day, there’s a huge number of people waiting for the HTC Sense UI version of Froyo to show up. I know all of us here sure are. Usually, we have to pass on the random screenshot tip that rolls in, but in this case they a…
If you use a custom ROM on your Android phone, you should know about CyanogenMod. If you don’t, go hit Google now, then come right back. (pretty freakin’ sweet, huh?) With the drop of the Froyo (Android 2.2) source code everyone is patientl…
With the official Froyo update now available to Nexus One users, it begs us to ask the question, “when will Froyo be available for my _______?” Well, HTC has answered so be jealous no longer of the sons of privilege (Nexus One users). HTC h…
I’m officially jealous. First Virgin Mobile Canada gets the HTC Legend, now parent company Bell flaunts this gorgous phone in my general direction. It’s the same Legend we’ve been talking about since we first saw it at Mobile World Congress — 3.2 inch AMOLED screen, all aluminum unibody design, 600 MHz Qualcomm processor, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, and enough good looks and style to shake a stick at. Price looks nice as
well, $79.95 CDN with a three year contract, $399.95 CDN to buy it outright. While I sit and cry because I can’t have it, I expect all my friends in the Great White North to tell me how awesome it is and show me lots of pictures of this hot little phone. [Bell via BGR]

Those of you joining Android from other platforms — and we know who you are — may well be familiar with The Missing Sync, a longtime leader in personal information management. And if you’re looking at Android but don’t necessarily want to go all-in on gmail, this is an app you’re going to want to check out. Anyhoo, The Missing Sync has updated for phones running on Android 2.1 with HTC Sense. That’d be the Sprint Hero (finally!), Droid Incredible, Evo 4G — you know, every new HTC phone at this point.
Warning: If you have doubleTwist installed, you’re going to want to uninstall first, as the two don’t really play well together at this point. Otherwise, have at it! [Mark/Space]

The beautiful HTC Legend, with its unibody build and clean lines, is coming. The guys at Engadget have discovered that the HTC Legend has just cleared the FCC and is packing 850/1900 MHz 3G bands which means its just perfect for AT&T, Rogers, Telus, and other Canadian carriers. Which means that the HTC Legend is on its way to North America. Which is awesome.
We’ve spent some time with the HTC Legend and though it doesn’t pack the spec punch of a Droid Incredible or Evo 4G, its uber-sexy design almost makes up for it. If it heads to AT&T, then AT&T’s currently underwhelming Android lineup becomes instantly respectable. If it heads to Canada, then their already impressive roster of Android phones becomes even more envy inducing. Please AT&T, go and get this phone.
HTC late last week released its kernel for the Droid Incredible (along with the Eris and Legend) giving chefs another platform on which to cook customs ROMs. That said, we’re still waiting on the Incredible to be cracked open and rooted. And while HTC is required to release the kernel code, its proprietary code remains, well, proprietary, so we’re not getting a complete look under the hood. But it’s definitely a start.

It’s been a not-so-secret bug that not all apps in the Android Market have been available on all handsets. And it’s been particularly egregious on the HTC Legend, with such apps as Google Goggles, Barcode Scanner and Twidroid not appearing. Turns out it’s had something to do with apps that can access the phone’s camera, and HTC has issued a firmware update. We’ve seen similar issues with the Droid Incredible and our AT&T version of the Nexus One. Hopefully fixes will arrive sooner rather than later. [HTC via Engadget]
HTC’s February press event at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was a double coming-out party — it brought us the new version of the Sense user interface, and it also brought us the HTC Legend.
The Legend is the follow-up to the venerable HTC Hero, which was the first Android phone to feature Sense. After the break, we take a look at the Legend and its slick new hardware revision.
