HTC Hero joins the Android bandwagon with a custom UI
Quite as expected today HTC officially announced their third Android-running handset - HTC Hero. Sporting the most complete feature set of the three it is destined to battle it out with Samsung I7500 for the full-touch...

It looks from the video that it supports Exchange e-mail. That would be a very good feature which I wasn't aware Android otherwise had.

Minor correction to the article, the HTC Magic/Ion/Saphire also sports capacitive technology and technically supports multi-touch, it's only held back in software due to patent issues with Apple - however it appears HTC (caused by other manufacturers releasing multi-touch devices?) are softening up on this. In other words, it's likely the Donut update will add support multi-touch to existing devices.

Does anyone know if a standalone turn-by-turn and route loss recalculation GPS navigation app can be installed on Android (no monthly fee based from the service provider)? If there is one then I am sold to switch from wm6.1 from the i900 Omnia to the cool Android.

Hardware design-wise, I still don't like that "chin" at the bottom...but the UI looks great though! A lot better than the default Android UI....

Htc is under the spell of marketing language with ambiguous meaning.

Looks like a solid phone. HSDPA 850 / 1900 indicates AT&T in it's future. Is this the iPhone competitor we've been looking for?

T-Mobile is not as bad as you make it out to be...anyway, this device might be going to Verizon since they are launching a android based phone. This is an awesome device great look and great features. I cannot wait to get my hands on one!

Why don't they just say Black instead of Graphite? Anywho, I bet TMobile will pick up this junkheap. Seems like their kind of phone as well as the G1. I truly dislike being with that company.

Actually, it needs an upgrade already. 528 mhz processor instead of the Snapdragon 1 ghz processor: no OLED display, no 800 X 480 resolution. I like what I see, but I wish they would upgrade the technology.
