HTC Hero

HTC Hero Mobilephone.co.uk User Rating:

The HTC Hero is HTC's first Android based OS phone - and it's a cracker. A 5MP camera, video calling, superb video capture and smooth touchscreen make the Hero a charm to use.

Miles ahead of it's predecessor, the G1, the Hero runs with HTC Sense - an intuitive, seamless experience built upon three fundamental principles - make it mine, stay close, and discover the unexpected.

It's like the iPhone in it's intuitive design and navigation. Even your gran could use the phone. The phone is linked to Twitter, Facebook and any other application you choose to use.

The only downfall of the Hero is the poor choice of applications you have to choose from. What's that is sorted, Android will be an OS to contend with.
