HTC Hero continues HTC’s leadership in cutting-edge design that focuses on introducing a variety of distinct devices to represent your own individuality. Boasting bevelled edges and an angled bottom, the HTC Hero is contoured to fit comfortably in your hand and against your face while you’re on a call. The HTC Hero is built to last, beginning with an anti-fingerprint screen coating for improved smudge-resistance and a longer-lasting, clearer display. The white HTC Hero includes an industry-first, Teflon coating, resulting in an improved, durable white surface that is soft to the touch.
With its 3.2-inch HVGA display, the HTC Hero is optimized for Web, multimedia and other content, while maintaining a small size and weight that fits comfortably in your hand. It also boasts a broad variety of hardware features including AGPS, digital compass, gravity-sensor, 3.5mm stereo headset jack, a five mega-pixel autofocus camera and expandable MicroSD memory. HTC Hero also includes a dedicated Search button that goes beyond basic search, providing you with a more natural, contextual search experience that enables you to search through Twitter, locate people in your contact list, find emails in your inbox or search in any other area in Hero.
HTC Sense
Built on a culture of innovation and a passion to enhance people’s lives, HTC shapes the mobile experience around the individual. Debuting on the HTC Hero and available on all new HTC devices moving forward, Sense delivers on three basic principles: Make it Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected.
Make It Mine
Make It Mine is about feeling your HTC phone was created for and by you. To do this, HTC encourages you to dictate and organize how you want to access the people and content in your life in a way that fits best for you. For some, this means adding glance-view widgets that push content like twitter feeds, weather and other content to the surface while others may want quick access to business-focused information like email, calendar and world-times. HTC is also introducing a new profile feature called ‘Scenes’ that enables you to create different customized content profiles around specific functions or times in your life.
Stay Close
Today, staying in touch with the people in your life means managing a variety of communication channels and applications ranging from phone calls, emails, texts, photos, status updates and more. HTC Sense takes a different approach by integrating these communication channels and applications into one single view, enabling you to stay closer to your important people. With HTC Sense, friends’ Facebook status updates and photos, along with their Flickr photos are included alongside their text messages, emails and call history in a single view.
Discover the Unexpected
HTC Hero features a trackball with zoom in/out function for easy navigation and internet browsing. It also provides popular Google applications such as Google SearchTM and Google MapsTM.
Multiple email options
The HTC Hero offers a variety of email options such as GmailTM, POP3 and IMAP as well as Google TalkTM for instant messaging. It helps users to separate their personal and work emails for efficient communication.

| Awesome phone, by Jonathan Brooks on 14/12/2009 |
| Overall Rating |

| It's fast, well built, has a great OS, works flawlessly, great battery life, and a has a chin. The fact that most people spend ages discussing the chin is probably evidence that they couldn't find anything to fault with the phone. Oh, and with the Android 2.1 (Eclair) update coming soon, it's only going to get better...... Google integration - works perfectly MS Exchange integration - works fine for me (just email) Social networking - it will do that too! Wish list - better multimedia capabilities - basically a better music player would be nice; and if it had the full turn-by-turn Google Maps satnav app (free!) for the UK it would be an iPhone killer. Having said that there is already a free satnav for Android (called andnav2), and there will be paid for ones in the pipeline. Put simply: it's the best phone I've owned. Jon. |
