I've had my Legend for a week now and can still barely put it down! The integration between apps is amazing. I like the selection of apps from the android market - and the HTC Sense UI makes the whole thing really quite intuitive. This is my first touch-screen phone (I've always had physical keyboard'd phones previously). This is easy to type on, the predictive-text is great.
The cons: With heavy usage, my battery will last me about 12 hrs max. With regular usage then 2 days is typical. The AMOLED screen is awesome, but fairly hard to see outside. I didn't think it would matter that much-- but the place it impacts me is if I'm taking pictures (need to see the screen as the viewfinder). If I place my hand over it for shade, it's generally enough, but still makes me wish I could see it better.
The speed of the device is great. I'm actively recommending it to any of my friends who are in the market right now.l

After a deep study of similar products such as Sony Xperia X10, Nokia N8, Samsung Wave, HTC HD mini, and HTC Desire (and even the upcoming Xperia Arc and Play), I decided to buy this one b/c of its build quality, price, and specs. The HTC phones all have the HTC sense UI which is the best in the market (youtube it if you want to know more). Also, the unibody aluminum case makes it very strong and beautiful. Best of all, it has an optical mouse that's non-existence on other similar phones. After buying the phone, I decided to root the phone and upgraded it to Froyo 2.2 (a mod based on HTC's official release, not cyanogenmod). The phone plays games exceptionally well. If it doesn't play, it's the software and its developer's fault (e.g. EA sucks!). I learned it the hard way for getting NFS shift to play on this device. Overall, this is a strong, small, and very powerful phone that I would recommend to anyone who's looking to buy a phone of this class. Two words, BUY IT!
PS: The AMOLED screen is beautiful, but I kept the brightness low to save battery most of the time. The 600 MHz CPU is actually quite powerful and energy efficient and it has a great GPU on this unit. The battery life is great. With WIFI off and proper SETCPU config to under-clock CPU when the screen is off, this phone can last 3+ days without recharge. I usually keep the WIFI to "always on" and use it to call and receive SKYPE calls to save phone bill, you should do it too if you're usually under WIFI coverage.
3/28/12 Note (For those of you trying to flash the ROM to Cyanogenmod 7 or else):
With Cyanogenmod 7, SIM no contact list issue is SIM dependent (resolved via replacing the SIM card itself).

I recommend this phone.
