Camera Phones Plaza

HTC is going through a very good phase in the past couple of weeks, as many of the company’s devices are being announced and launched in markets from all over the world. As many of you, our readers, expected, HTC has just come up with a new cell phone running on the Android platform. It’s called HTC Hero, and we have had the chance to see it a couple of times before.



The Hero is official right now and what we see in the pictures can be considered a mixture between the two Android handsets that HTC released in the past, the G1 and the Magic. Even if the Hero doesn’t come with a hardware keyboard, you should worry no more, because, due to the Android 1.5 operating system, there is a software QWERTY keyboard.



The list of features consists of the following elements: a 3.2 inches touch sensitive display with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels and resistance to fingerprints, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus (there’s no Flash involved), GSM and HSDPA connectivity, an accelerometer, Wi-Fi and GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, many Google applications and services such as Google Maps and Google StreetView and microSDHC card slot for expandable memory.



It seems that the HTC Hero will be available in a white version and rumors say it is made of Teflon, which means you will be able to use it very easily.

In addition, HTC has announced what is supposed to be the substitute of the TouchFLO 3D user interface. I’m talking about a new software interface which will be known under the name of HTC Sense. The same rumors say that the Sense will be available on the future HTC smartphones, irrespective of the platform they’ll be running on (Android or Windows Mobile). The HTC Sense has a nickname, Rosie, and comes with three layers: “Discover the Unexpected”, “Make it Mine” and “Stay Close”.

You will be able to find the Hero in the market, equipped with the Sense user interface, starting next month, under a price that is unknown for the moment.
