A new HTC phone has recently cleared the FCC. Rumor has it that this is a North American version of the HTC Legend. The original Legend had an FCC ID of PB76100, and the new device has an FCC ID of PB76110. The bands this phone will operate on are between 850 and 1900MHZ (WCDMA), which means that the only US carrier supporting this phone at the moment is AT&T, or for our Canadian friends, Bell, Telus, or Rogers.

While the Legend isn’t the best Android phone on the market, it certainly would be a solid addition to AT&T’s somewhat lackluster Android lineup. The Legend sports a 600MHz processor, a 3.2″ AMOLED screen with multi-touch, optical trackpad, a 5MP camera with auto focus and flash, and is running on Android 2.1.

Vodafone may have an exclusive on the HTC Legend in the UK, but that’s not stopping other carriers across Europe from offering up one of the sleekest Android phones available.  If you live in France and were hoping to get your hands on the new HTC Legend, SFR is now selling the handset for 29€ with rate plans between 50-70€.  If you’re not willing to sign a new contract, SFR is willing to hand over the HTC Legend for 379€ (roughly $520).   Specs on the SFR HTC Legend are identical to what HTC announced at Mobile World congress last month, though SFR has added a few touches of their own to the handset.  As you can plainly see from the picture, the SFR HTC Legend features red accents on the exterior of the handset, giving it a distinct look that will set it apart from the standard unlocked Legend. SFR has also taken the red accents inside the phone as well, by adding of few of their own applications, including an SFR account manager where customers can view and manage their bills, SFR Wi-Fi which grants access to SFR’s hotspots, and SFR TV for mobile entertainment on the go.

SFR is currently taking orders for the HTC Legend through their website and will make is available at all their retail locations starting March 30.

Vodafone is prepping for one of the most exciting phone launches in quite a few years.  If you live in the UK, I’m sure you’ve already heard that HTC’s new Android lineup (HTC Desire and HTC Legend) are expected to launch on Vodafone in early April.  Vodafone’s coming soon page is full of pictures and details of the two handsets, but we also noticed the upcoming Nexus One there as well.  Back in January, Google announced that the Nexus One would be heading to Vodafone in the spring of 2010, but there has not been any update on when the handset should be available.  Recent rumors indicate that the Nexus One has hit a few bumps during testing, causing the expected launch date to be postponed.  We are not sure what these bumps might be, but we have all heard of the 3G issues that the U.S. Nexus One suffered right after launch. 

HTC new HD Mini is also slated to launch on Vodafone as well.  The HTC HD Mini is definitely not as mind bending as its older sibling (HTC HD2), but it should offer consumers a great Windows Mobile phone for those who simply are not ready to make the leap to Android.  Expect to see that HTC Desire, Legend, and HD Mini hit Vodafone stores in the UK during the first two weeks of April.  All three HTC handsets will be available for free on select contracts from Vodafone.  Pricing and availability of the Nexus One are still a mystery at this point, though we expect the N1 will also be available for free with a new contract and we’re hoping that it will become available before the end of April.

You know we’re inching our way closer to the launch of the HTC Legend when we spot official review units of the handset in the wild.  The lucky editors of SlashGear over in the UK have just received their review unit of the HTC Legend and have kindly caught their first impressions of the handset on video.  The first video simply shows of the non-descript box and its content, while the second gives a quick overview of a few new features included in Android 2.1 and HTC Sense.   

The only thing we spotted that we did not already know is that the HTC legend does not support multi-touch (pinch-to-zoom) in Google Maps.  We also suspect that the Navigation feature is also non-existent since Google is yet to announce European support for turn-by-turn navigation through Google Maps. 

HTC’s Legend will be launching in Europe in early April from a handful of carriers.  If you can’t wait till then and want to pre-order the phone now, head over to Expansys where you can drop $620 for the phone and expect it to show up in the mail around April 14^th
