HTC’s Legend has got to be the most coveted Android phone ever since it was first shown off at the MWC 2010 event. It’s premium aluminum unibody build, the rich AMOLED display, the premium finish — everything makes you want it, bad. Those lusting after it in the US will have to wait a while loger before they get any specific dates but their UK counterparts have already received their release date — 23rd March.

Here’s another example of malware slipping into tightly controlled places — an HTC Magic unit sold by Vodafone was found to be infected with really serious malware. This was discovered after the user plugged the phone into her PC and her Panda Cloud AV went off, detecting multiple instances of active malware on the device. The story takes a turns for the ‘intriguing’ when it is revealed that the buyer/user in question is actually a Panda Cloud Employee.

Look what we have here! A slide that seems to be from some internal meeting at T-Mobile showing off what is essentially the carrier’s internal roadmap of what handsets they will offer through the first quarter of 2010. Do you notice something?
Yeah, me too. It’s a really boringly done slide. Someone should teach them about putting some excitement into PowerPoint presentations. However, the content of the slide kinda makes up for its drab nature. I seem to spy three really interesting phones that are coming up next month.

You know how some people have a really hard time keeping secrets? Especially if it’s a big one? Well, sometimes PR people are like that and that is how some leaks happen in the industry. So this time, a PR of the Swedish branch of the carrier 3, let the cat out of the bag by saying that they will have the HTC Bravo by 2010. And where did this happen? Why, on Facebook of course — that great place where privacy is shrinking faster than a woolen sweater in a hot wash.

Their knack for making really great software and hardware combos have won them many a fan in the past one year. With the launch of the HD2, they have proved that they can hold their own against the big players like Apple, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and also Nokia.

You might not have noticed this yet but we have become extremely dependant on our mobile phones. This is especially true for those who use modern smartphones. Our always-connected lives would become highly disconnected if we were forced to live without these devices for a single day.
Our dependence comes through very clearly when we are trying to buy a new phone. Suddenly, all our daily needs and requirements come into play and we are left puzzled at the onslaught of features. This scenario is further complicated by the fact that most companies have product release cycles that are between 10 months to a year.
The companies cannot be stopped from bringing out the latest gear all throughout the year but we can help you catch up on the latest phone news. And so we do, every Thursday. Get over to the other side for this week’s digest.
