At a press event in London yesterday, HTC announced the release of an all new Google Android phone, the HTC Hero! Not only is this new handset running Android but also HTC’s, all new, widget-based operating system – ‘Sense’. This new user interface will provide easily customisable live content in the form of email, SMS and social networking which I’m certain will be expandable with a variety of other downloadable widgets and services.
Along with Android and an all new UI the handset will feature 3G HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth, 5mp camera, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack plug, digital compass and a MicroSD card slot. All this will be centred around a 3.2” HVGA touchscreen which apparently uses a new anti-fingerprint coating! On top of this HTC also say that this is going to be the first Android phone to support Flash, straight out the box! Sound pretty promising doesn’t it?
The HTC Hero will be available in Europe in July on Orange and T-Mobile.

The release of the HTC Hero the google android cell phone is amazing!
I would really love to get one even though it is unclear that flash become available on various android handsets.
The availability of an android based cell phone is amazing with the price of $200 and a 2 year contract.
‘Sense’ is a sensible operating system running in the Google Android phone!
Anyone know if this will be an exclusive or available on all networks?
