I Want That Phone

Android technology is an up and coming technology for mobile phones that is in the running to truly compete against the iPhone. I don’t like always comparing to the iPhone but you have to admit, despite certain shortcomings such as a less than powerful camera or being limited to apps only available through the iTunes app store, Apple’s 3G and 3Gs is pretty hard to beat.

However, HTC is certainly not afraid of a good fight. HTC are now producing some very elegant phones, such as the HTC Hero, using the Google Android operating system and one thing that’s nice about the apps available in the Android market is there are a wider range of possible developers which I think will ultimately lead to being a more attractive phone than the Apple OS.

These Android phones are truly like miniature pocket computers. The interface whilst accessing the internet, as well as other functions and features are seriously giving the iPhone a run for their money. The Smartphone by HTC has a very large touchscreen display with up to 65 million colours. It only weighs in at 135 grams and feels like it’s built solidly, unlike the new iPhone that feels like it’s make of cheap plastic.

Other features of the HTC Hero include 3G HSDPA, HSCSD, Wi-Fi®, wireless Bluetooth® connection, cabled USB connection, GPRS and EDGE technology. It is a Quad band Phone works on GSM technology and covers GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800 amp; GSM 1900 network with HSDPA 900/2100.
