Looks like the Netherlands will be getting first dibs on the HTC Legend.

The KPN website already shows the new page for the elusive Android phone. As to why they got it first, we have no idea. HTC seems to be focusing on the Bravo for other regions. But with the KPN release of the Legend set to March, it would not be a long stretch to see the device launching in the UK at a similar date or in April.

News about the HTC Legend has been around since last year, and details about the smart phone got released when the HTC roadmap got leaked around last October. The roadmap showed plenty of new devices for HTC’s lineup including five Android smart phones and 3 Windows Mobile devices.

The WinMo phones were supposed to be using the 6.5 version of the OS (and like the HTC HD2, it will employ skinning to make the system easier to use; the HD2 used Sense while the three new phones will use the TouchFlo UI). With WinMo 6.5.3 already launching and version 7 expected to arrive later this year, we might not see the Windows devices until a much later time.

For the Androids, it looks like HTC is going at it one device at a time. The HTC Bravo, which is first in list, got announced and confirmed first. The Hero successor Legend is now the second device in the list that has been confirmed. At this rate, we can expect news on the Salsa, Tide and Buzz to start popping out in the next few months.

The Legend comes with a 3.2 inch AMOLED touch screen, a 600 MHz processor, FM radio, WiFi and a 1300 mAh battery –so far no prices yet.
