[Legend General] MadBeef:
Thought I would just give my two pence on the Legend, just got one for the wife, I'm sticking with my Touch Pro2 :) Didn't see an "I GOT MINE" thread but if there is one I apologise.

The aluminium body is awesome :cool: very impressive and handles well

Nice and fast, no choppiness, bluetooth contacts sync (40 or 50 odd) from my TP2 went through faultlessly and easily (no confirming each one, etc) some lack of copy and paste on gmails, weird that it doesn't come up as a "proper" mail account even though the mails come through fine. Had to SMS my wireless key from TP2, then forward the message so I could copy & paste into wireless settings. Sucks a bit, but I'm used to WinMo goodness :) Wireless connects fine each time. (TP2 is sometimes a bit flakey connecting with all ROMs at least on my AP) Doesn't know what to do with WM notes files but that's to be expected.

On-screen keyboard is a bit too small for my fingers but no probz for the wife.

Capacitive screen takes some getting used to after using my resistive TP2. Fingernails don't work! hehe booo (and no stylus) Screen is very nice to look, seems brighter and "punchier" than my TP2. (think it's OLED?)

GSM signal doesn't seem as good as my TP2, sometimes you will get "emergency calls only" whereas on my TP2 that is much more rare, particularly since the 4.xx radio upgrades. Still early days yet though.

No video calling which is a minor downer since my TP2 has it, also it doesn't seem to tilt sideways although it comes with Teeter (haven't tried that yet tho) wondering if it really has a tilt sensor or not. Guy in the shop thought it didn't. But it does rotate to landscape when it needs to (camera, etc) so no biggie either way.

The optical scrolly dot below the screen is a nice touch. (particularly as she is paranoid about mucking up the screen until we put screen protector on haha)

Good to see VPN support, haven't tried it yet though. I set up IPSEC/L2TP (ie. the way WinMo demands IPSEC) at home so we will see if Android will play ball with that.

Vodafone branding is almost non-existent from what I can see, definitely not the white and red train wreck I was faced with when I got my Voda TP2 haha :p

No crashes yet although we did have to reset to factory defaults after a gmail signup issue where it set the primary account to something she didn't want (cos it was failing to create account all over the place, ended up creating on a PC) so had to reset the whole thing :( Still it wasn't that painful as this was in the first hour or two of getting it.

A nice looking phone she's well happy with it, but then she upgraded from an ancient Samsung flip from like 5 years ago haha :eek: It's the first time either of us have really played with an Android phone, she's used to dumbphones but is very tech savvy (for a girl haha :p) and I've been using PPC / WinMo for over 10 years.

Personally my first impression is I'm glad I have the TP2 wouldn't trade it for the Legend but she's over the moon with it so everyone's happy :) If I were to place Android in the market based on a few hours of minor fiddling I would place it between WinMo (power users) and iPhone (hairdressers haha :rolleyes:) in terms of ease of use and capabilities. No plans to hack on it, I'll wait till she gets bored of it first :)

Got it free on a £20 p/m contract on Vodafone from a Voda store, they threw in a leather case and generic screen protectors without a fight. Were really nice to deal with. 500 meg data, can't remember the rest of the details but will find out if anyone asks. Also it is possible to put a consumer tariff (which this was) on a business account, which I didn't know.
