HTC Hero will be available in Europe from July

High Tech Computer (HTC) has been rumored for quite some time now to be developing a new Android handheld that would come to the market with a fresh interface. The company finally decided it was high time to make the move and announced the handset officially. The HTC Hero that debuted today is only the first mobile phone to include the maker's HTC Sense interface, and comes with a distinct design and powerful capabilities.

The HTC Hero sports a 3.2-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen capable of delivering a 320 x 480 pixel HVGA resolution, a 5.0-megapixel photo snapper with auto focus, as well as GPS receiver, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR and A2DP, Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g connectivity, Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), HSPA/WCDMA 900/2100 MHz (2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link), and a 3.5 mm audio jack.



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 today’s phones, but by following how you communicate and live your life,” said Peter Chou, Chief Executive Officer, HTC Corporation.

HTC announced that the North American version of Hero would come to the market later during the ongoing year.
