HTC Hero Reviews
 
HTC strikes again with another smarpthone featuring the much acclaimed Android operating system. Sporting a fresh and stylish design, as well as a new innovative GUI, HTC Hero shakes the world of smartphones through its performances. Even though its specs are not well over anything on the market, the way it works makes Hero the best Android device and perhaps one of the best smartphones on the market. As I see it, this is the main rival of Apple's iPhone. I will avoid making too many comparisons between the flagship devices from the three main manufacturers that pretend to own the best smartphone on the market: Nokia N97, iPhone and HTC Hero, as people tastes and needs are very different. Instead, I'll try to point out some of the qualities and downsides of Hero, as well as the traits that make it better than its main rivals.

HTC Hero was announced in June 2009 and launched on the market one month later, in July 2009. The smartphone is available in a plethora of colors: Brown, White, Graphite, Black and Pink. The unlocked version of HTC Hero can be bought for around 650USD, but the price may vary depending on the location.
 
Design

Following the design of the first two Android devices, Hero features the same curved form factor. Hero's curved shape is more obvious now, which also has a technical advantage as the mic will be closer to your mouth during phone calls. The phone is made from a special plastic that looks like teflon. Unfortunately, this is a fingerprint magnet, and together with the large touchscreen, which will be full of grease in no time, are some of the downsides of the gadget, in case you hate to dirt your phone. Of course, a small cloth for wiping will probably solve this, but the problem remains, as the fingerprints will reappear the moment you put your hands on it. The same goes for the touchscreen, which can only be controlled by finger.
