HTC Hero

Frame:

• The device is made entirely of matte plastic, without any type of coating or sputtering. The only place where fingerprints and other dirt on the case can be seen is still the touch screen and the bezel around it.

In the left corner of this hole, there is a light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness of the display. In the right corner there is an LED that glows red when the battery is charging and connected to a PC, or green when fully charged
• There are four buttons in a row below the display. They are responsible for receiving / rejecting a call, entering the menu and the root directory. In the right corner there is also a paired return key to the previous menu and a search call. The search is performed either in the communicator itself (contacts, files), or on the Internet through the Google website. A little to the left you can see the trackball to control the device

From the press release:

Make him your hero
Communicator HTC Hero goes to a whole new level of personalization. While others search their phones for the right data hidden in a clever menu, HTC Hero users leave it where it suits them! Widgets can be placed right on your desktop! Do you want to make them 100% personal? No problems! You can change most widgets by applying different designs to them. Display live exchange data, current or weekly forecast, and more.

Stay close to your friends
Today, staying connected is easier than ever. You no longer have to open one app after another to be closer to your friends. HTC Hero will tell you the best way to get in touch with the right contact: phone call, text message, or maybe email. Do you want to be even closer? See updates to your personal page on the social network, flip through their photo albums on photo sharing sites. With HTC Hero you will understand that being in touch is easier than saying "Hi".

Discover the unknown
In the new HTC Hero, even the usual options are pleasantly surprised. For example, a dialing system — to find the desired contact, simply enter the first letters of the person's name. The smart communicator will always tell you when your friends' birthday is, whether they have updated their information on Facebook, whether they have added new photos on Flickr.
Mail on HTC Hero is more than just a list of messages. Here you can see the entire progress of the conversation in a chat format, see only messages marked "important" or instantly view only letters with attachments.
Your album is not just photos saved on your phone. At any time you can add them to your online photo album or upload them to your Facebook or Flickr page.
But the main thing is that nothing will ever be lost in HTC Hero! Use a special button — by keyword in the search bar, the communicator will find the necessary information in the contact list, among SMS, in e-mail, calendar events and even on Twitter.
