HTC recently launched their new Hero phone that will run a customized version of the Google Android operating system. HTC was the first manufacturer to create a phone that ran Android and the Hero aims to set the bar higher. The Hero’s design is very similar to the G1 model, using a similar angled base and button layout. However the Hero is much thinner and doesn’t have an analog keyboard, instead it uses an on-screen touch keyboard. The phone also puts a large priority on customization, giving users lots of options to make the phone unique to them. The phone has a 3.2 inch screen and 5 mega pixel camera with auto focus. In addition the phone features a trackball to add in navigation and a plastic case with baked in teflon coating to prevent nicks and scratches. the HTC Hero is set for launch in Europe this Summer and around the world later this year.
