HELP.... HTC Legend or Samsung i7500l

money invested in hardware will (always) pay off.
if i was in your place i wouldn't think for a minute.

 

Dude dont go with the carrier bull$hit.
Invest in hardware as obica said.

AFAIK Legend is way ahead in specs compared to Galaxy.
So there goes my two cents.

 

HTC all the way, now if you can get your hands on Desire.

 

Htc. lol, who on earth voted galaxy

 

It's r3dpuma.

The poll is public, you can click on the number of votes and you can see who voted for what.

I hope that was not a rhetorical question.

 

lol all the way

 

Absolutely no question at all. Change to the Legend.

Yes, GAOSP is making good progress (I have the latest nightly on my i7500), and I'm deeply grateful to drakaz and co. They have achieved minor miracles. But there's still a few things lacking or buggy, and while this will (hopefully) change, fundamentally the i7500 is just a bit too short on RAM to run Froyo like it should run. It will never be a truly wonderful Eclair or Froyo platform.

The Legend has 384Mb RAM, compared to the i7500's 128Mb. The Legend processor is faster at standard speed. Yes, you can overclock the i7500 to a little faster but for these devices having enough - or, better, more than enough - RAM is much more important for overall performance.

Also, it's been my experience comparing the i7500 with a HTC G1 I have for development purposes that the HTC has superior firmware quality. The hardware is a little inferior, but the firmware quality makes the HTC a better phone overall. If you end up putting a custom ROM on the Legend, the customisers will have had an easier job.

 

You don't need to unlock it, there's a new method to install GAOSP without unlocking. Check drakaz.com forums. Still, I'd buy HTC device, but maybe not necessarily Legend - while it's not a bad phone, HTC Desire is much better. Not sure about the price but I believe it wasn't much more expensive.

 

don't know how the legend is.
but stay away from the Galaxy
