Anyone feel the specs on this device could be improved?

Just like the title asks, anyone feel that HTC should have bumped the specs up on this device? Namely the following:

600 MHz cpu
3.2 " screen
320 x 480 resolution

Just trying to get some conversation going...

I was thinking same thing. I like the body of the phone, and design, but the specs are a real turn off for me. Probably enough so to make me not get it, when otherwise it would be in high consideration.

heck yes! i would like to have more ram and a faster processor :/

For me the size is a big deal. I've always had HW keyboards, and it seems that, unless the software is utterly amazing and intuitive (a la iPhone), I would need a much larger screen for the SW keyboard to work for me and my fatty thumbs. lol

But hey! If this comes out at the time of my upgrade, I'll get this, and then when the SS comes out (likes 6-8 months later, I'll switch out. My average phone life is somewhere around 6 months anyway. lol

It's just another entry level Android device with a slight bump to processor speed. Nothing about the Legend would make me dump my current Hero. I'd like to see something with HTC HD2 specs running Android with 8, 16 or 32 gigs of memory.

Wow, not a single person so far seems into this device.

I do like the Macbookesque housing. But, seriously aren't the days of slow processor and meager memory things of the past?

I agree, I love the look. Just not fond of the insides.

Definately a waist of time working on this device. I already have the same phone, it's called the HTC Sprint Hero. Sprint is foolish for keeping this going. Get one of the premier phones that HTC has to offer. I would love to see something with a bigger screen, and better internals. I'll wait for the Supersonic. But maybe that's what Sprint has planned. A little bait and switch. Pass on the cheap HTC Legend and wait for the overpriced HTC Supersonic and possibly pay for WiMax service even though it is only availabe in a few states. IMO! I hope not though, I'm looking forward to the Supersonic.

I don't think this phone was meant to compete with the Desire. From what I understand the smaller screen lets the 600 mhz cpu drive the phone extremely fast and smooth, and should give great battery life. Until I get one in my hand to use and then tear apart, I'll hold back any judgment. If it's true, I'm happy. I like the smaller size for a phone/pda.

T Mac - Sprint doesn't charge anything extra monthly for 4G. The initial devices are a bit more expensive, but they are all 3G/4G at the same monthly cost. If/When the SS comes, I'll bet it's $299 on contract and has a full EVDO radio along with the WiMax technology built into the WiFi radio.
