HTC hero with a caption

“Be Brave Be Yourself”

The Phone is designed beautifully with a slight curve which starts below the screen and i seriously dont know how it is usefull, ahve to hear from HTC about the concept behind this design, amybe this is what makes it look different from the G1 which also looks the same externally.

Apart form this the phone is really well built looks apt for the standards of HTC.

And Sense the android based interface is one of its kind where Peter Chou, Chief Executive Officer, HTC Corporation said:

“HTC Sense is a distinct experience created to make HTC phones more simple for people to use, leaving them saying, it just makes sense.”

So lets see weather it really makes sense or is Non-sense

“Be Brave Be Yourself”

But i think the name just refers to the new HTC sense which they have released with this beautiful phone.

According to Peter Chou, Chief Executive Officer, HTC Corporation

“HTC Hero introduces a more natural way for reaching out to the people and accessing your important information, not by following the status quo of todays phones, but by following how you communicate and live your life,”

HTC Sense:

The Android interface based Operating system has an integrated flash which makes it one of a kind.

“Built on a culture of innovation and a passion to enhance peoples lives, HTC shapes the mobile experience around the individual. Debuting on the HTC Hero and available on all new HTC devices moving forward, Sense delivers on three basic principles: Make it Mine, Stay Close and Discover the Unexpected.”

This is what Peter Chou, Chief Executive Officer, HTC Corporation had to say about the Sense

“HTC Sense is a distinct experience created to make HTC phones more simple for people to use, leaving them saying, it just makes sense.”

So all we have to do is just wait for the Hero to be released and we have to wait and see how much it is gonna make us shell out from our pockets.

HTC Hero looks promising except for its look which makes me think of the ugly G1
