HTC Hero

Google Android has been finally brought in an avtaar which might be now considered equal if not greater than the invincible Windows Mobile. It is the first phone in the Android series to feature a 3.5mm audio jack, multi-touch capability and the new HTC Sense interface. It is also the first Android device to support Adobe Flash. It runs a modified build of Android featuring HTC’s Sense interface.

HTC Hero lets you put the important contents at glance view; with a selection of widgets that can be placed right on the home screen rather than burying important content under layers of menus. These widgets themselves can be personalized with a variety of designs and sizes.
HTC Hero can be multiple phones in one with “Scenes” which is a new profile feature. Also it has a dedicated search button to search just about anything, anywhere. The dedicated Search button combs through tweets in Twitter, locates people in the contact list, finds emails in the inbox, searches through appointments in the calendar and very nearly finds anything which needs to be found.

The Hero has a screen size of 3.2 inch (81 mm) with a screen resolution of 320 x 480px (similar to iPhone’s screen resolution). It has a multi-touch Touchscreen with lipophobic coating and a trackball. Talk time is said to be 470 minutes (GSM) to 420 minutes (WCDMA) with a standby time of 440 hours (GSM) to 750 hours (WCDMA). The camera in this device is a 5 megapixel rear-facing including autofocus. It has a digital compass with accelerometer. It comes with a RAM of 288 MB and ROM of 512 MB with microSD slot (SDHC compatible). Hero runs on Android 1.5 with HTC Sense. It also comes with a 3.5 mm audio jack, microphone, speaker and weighs only 135 g (4.8 oz) with battery.
