The HTC Hero is a powerful and comfortable phone that uses Google’s Android system. This is really something different and not a simple iPhone copy when you compare mobile phones. The designers have used much of the good practice present in the HTC Magic but have given it a restyling.

The HTC Hero incorporates a clear, bright and very usable virtual keyboard, which can be orientated either portrait or landscape. The developers have tweaked the Android system making it even more user friendly and it now comes with a Twitter app as standard, so social network fans will find it easily integrates with their other programs such as Facebook and Gmail.

The Hero, as HTC discovered during development, is a fully customisable phone, enabling you to download and customise your favourite widgets to suit. One nice feature is its “postcards” set up where you can personalise locations by their GPS coordinates and include photos, notes and video clips.

Connectivity is no problem with the Hero, as it supports Bluetooth, mini USB, Wi-Fi and has a 3.5mm jack point. There is a reasonably good camera but no flash and unfortunately it is not capable of video calling. The big determining factor with many phones is battery life but this is not a big problem with the Hero.

HTC has produced a good competitor when compared to the iPhone and has many qualities worthy of consideration when choosing a mobile. With increased development in the apps market this HTC mobile phone has a mass of additional add-ons you can purchase.
