It’s been a week since HTC unveiled their new spring lineup. The HTC Desire stole the show with it’s huge 3.7 inch AMOLED screen and Snapdragon processor, but the HTC Legend still demands out attention. Though the handset’s specs aren’t anything to write home about, HTC has given the Legend a unique aluminum unibody design that gives the phone a distinct look and a solid feel.

Since the entire shell of the HTC Legend is crafter out of one piece of aluminum, HTC had to get a bit creative to find a way to fit in the battery, SIM, and microSD card. At the bottom of the handset you’ll find a small plastic cover. Removing the cover reveals the battery compartment and metal connectors for the Legend’s antenna.

To access the SIM card and microSD, simply flip back the protection cover. You’ll notice that you can easily remove both cards without having to remove the battery from the handset. The battery is slotted in right above the SIM and memory cards.

The unibody design of the HTC Legend allows for a smaller and more compact shell. Compared to the original HTC Hero, the Legend is nearly 3mm thinner (that’s 17%).
