The HTC Hero…Bye Bye iPhone?

Written By Shannon Washington

They say that everything happens for a reason…so when I finally made the decision to trade-in my Blackberry Bold for an iPhone 3gs AND found out that my contract was up so I didn’t have to pay extra for it, I was amped. And then I went on the internet.-Damm you internet.

This beauty to your left is the Hero phone from HTC and from what I have found, is the ultimate challenger to the reign on the iPhone:
–
“Three years in the making, HTC’s Hero notably adds HTC Sense, the first fully customized version of Google’s Android mobile phone operation system. It’s a setup that packages powerful capabilities in a distinct design, which alone makes for some impressive competition to the smart phone market.
–
Featuring an angled bottom and beveled edges, the Hero’s contours fit nicely in one hand, offering comfortable access to main navigation buttons with just a thumb. The shape also positions the mouthpiece closer to the mouth when held to the ear. An anti-fingerprint coating prevents screen smudges and the white version includes an industry-first Teflon coating, resulting in a durable white surface that’s soft to the touch. For added functionality, the design incorporates a trackball in addition to the touch screen.”

Its soooo pretty. Oy vey. What do I do? The Hero won’t even be available until later on this year!
