Wireless provider Vodafone, based in the United Kingdom, has officially confirmed that they will offer both the HTC Legend and the HTC Desire smartphones, rounding out a very current lineup already graced by Google’s Nexus One.

While details concerning pricing and release remain sparse, the company did indicate that it would integrate its services, such as Vodafone Music and MyWeb, into HTC’s popular Sense user interface with the hopes of offering one of the most intuitive and user-friendly smartphone experiences to date.

Vodafone is expected to release further details concerning availability later this week.

The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona continues to generate big headlines in the mobile technology industry and HTC is leading the way with several new phones, perhaps most notably the HTC Legend.

Built with a uni-body aluminum design, the HTC Legend is quite literally carved from a block of the metal and the resulting look, feel and toughness is one-of-a-kind among mobile phones. The Legend offers a very attractive 3.2 inch HVGA AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display with multitouch support at a resolution of 480×320.

Running Google Android 2.1 with HTC’s popular Sense custom interface integrated within, the Legend is powered by a 600MHz porecessor, 512 MB of ROM and 384 RAM with support for microSD card of up to 32GB. Multimedia features include a five megapixel camera, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
