HTC outs 3rd Android Phone: HTC Hero

HTC just announced its 3rd Google Android phone, the HTC Hero, but instead of using the usual Android interface, HTC built its own Sense UI.

The large 3.2″ HVGA display (320×480 pixels) has multi-touch input and handwriting recognition.

HTC Hero specs
Qualcomm MSM 7200A 528 MHz processor
288 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM
up to 16GB via microSD
HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 2.0 Mbps
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
3.5 mm audio jack
5 MP autofocus camera (2592×1944 pixels)
GPS with A-GPS support
Digital compass
Android OS version 1.5

There’s a small trackball up front just like the previous G1 and an accelerometer (although I’m curious what that gravity-sensor is for). The HTC Hero also supports Flash 10 out of the box.

Woohh!! can’t wait to have this phone. Actually, nung wala pa itong phone na ito ang gusto ko yung G1 T-Mobile which worth 30K+ parin. Sigurado mas mahal ito. Wag naman sana…

Kindly post naman po agad kung magkano ito pag lumabas sa pinas.

nasa around 40k daw and htc hero sa pinas. dito na lang kayo magpabili sa UK kung me kilala kayo dito. Â£400 sya dito so mga around 30 to 32k pesos sya. maganda talaga ang phone kasi meron nako. hehe. pero kelangan nio talaga ng internet connection otherwise di nio din ma eenjoy ang features niya
