Vodafone have recently announced they will be officially carrying the HTC Desire and HTC Legend in the UK starting this April.
Desirable and Legendary
Having been revealed at the Mobile World Conference earlier this year, the HTC Desire and HTC Legend have won accolades and praise from reviewers. Having reviewed the Legend recently, it’s clear that the praises are not without merit. So Vodafone carrying the HTC Legend and the HTC Desire could be a major sales coup for the company.
The pair of phones are also key entries in the Google Android lineup, which is still playing catch up with Apple’s iPhone and iPhone OS.
Subsidy and packages

While Vodafone has yet to reveal full details on packages and subsidy pricing, the company has both phones on its website right now, with the HTC Desire, specifically, dated for 1 April 2010.
The elephant in the room
For all the positivity surrounding its current lineup, HTC have one massive problem on their horizon: that Apple lawsuit. In a move that attacks Google’s Android more than anything else, HTC has become collateral damage as a result of being one of Android’s biggest partners. The lawsuit, which claims no less than 20 patents were infringed, could prove to be a major blow for the Taiwanese company.

Recent leaks about the next phone, the HTC Incredible, have hit the Internet, but with official word of that device all but nonexistent, the HTC Desire and HTC Legend are the Taiwanese company’s flagship phones. And regardless of the Apple lawsuit, which is likely to go one for a long time, Vodafone users and HTC lovers alike will get to see what all the fuss is about in a little over two weeks.
