The new HTC Hero is the third Google Android smartphone that takes social networking to new heights.
 
The Hero is stylish and practical with a curved white casing covered in a tough Teflon coating. This is an innovative and original twist on smartphone design, and protects against messy fingerprints and scratches.

The HTC Hero has good battery life to support an excellent range of functions and applications. Without a doubt, the most impressive feature is the user-friendly HTC interface, Sense UI, which at the sweep of your fingers displays multiple home screens linked to your favourite shortcuts, folders, or widgets. 

Users will also enjoy a speedy Flash Web browser that supports multi-touch zooming functions, a very clever integration of social-networking applications and Google services, so you can sync and update all of your contact information and Google applications.
Other features include a 3.2-inch screen that stays nice and clean with its anti-fingerprint coating, a good on-screen keyboard and 512MB of flash memory, which can be increased with the microSD card slot.

The HTC Hero includes plenty of multimedia value with music and game applications, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack to support your own headphones. It also has a 5-megapixel camera, which doubles as a video recorder, but unfortunately does not have a flash.

This stylish and innovative smartphone is perfect for social networkers, and will certainly give Apple’s iPhone a run for its money.
