Finally, the phone, we waited for has finally arrived. The HTC Hero (hero as graphite G2 HTC Touch Orange and T-Mobile Advertising) is the light blinking, completely replaced by the new direction of the user interface has revealed that trigger 3GS smackdown on the iPhone and the Palm to Pre. Android updated, the phone is the most potent cells with Google OS.
If there is anything you say about HTC, that is when there’s a phone, the startup is not usually that far behind, and she realized that, with the hero, the next few weeks after the announcement in such a way that magic HTC, the phone Android second.
This is not really a Google phone, as such, because it is not designed to be branded and cooperation of the G. great, but it was still the Android is marked, and then adds a new dimension with the wrong user interface from HTC.
In the United Kingdom, T-Mobile will change the unit as a hero of the HTC Touch, T-Mobile G2, but do not worry, it’s always the hero. Only T-Mobile renamed it for their promotional purposes.
The general appearance of the device is a bit of Marmite-esque. The protruding lip and functional appearance probably will not see victory at any price but the style at the moment, it is well designed and fits comfortably in your hand, with the additional layer at the back, it is difficult to drag him upstairs.
The seven buttons on the lip (including the trackball) are easily identified, such as the quantity “Android”, recognize early on with the HTC dominant operating system. The power key is again on the Terminate button, which also serves as a sleep button.
This can get a little annoying that the default action for most is to press to stop an application, but you soon hit the Home button to get used instead.
We like the fact that the use of Android’s menu and search key displays the different options in different home screens, for example, the user can quickly feel at home even in new applications and foreigners.
There is no forehead against the camera on this phone, which has always consciously realize more and more popular on the phone today to the public, such as video telephony is really not funny at all, and networks mobile there is more money for broadband mobile travel photographs were made by a person’s face.
The rest of the design is minimalist, with only one (rather easy to hit accidentally) and the top button in a single block on the left side. This means that there is no dedicated camera button – and you do not have the trackball to click on a picture.
We obtained the basic box for the phone with the review, we do not know with certainty whether all the elements that have to wait for the final retail.
Since, however, that the minimum amount of magic were HTC, we can only assume it is the same for the hero HTC. It is a USB cable, plug in a plug, a UK adapter again, the phone itself and control music with headphones / speaker. Not the greatest booty in the box, but beautiful and functional (and pretty good singer what) you see an iPhone kit.
The headphones are not the best quality because they are not even in headphones, but the music and with the Back and Forward buttons mid-way through testing, and are a good length.
