HTC Hero

Be yourself. That's the idea behind the HTC Hero™, a phone that follows your lead. Time to work? Time to play? Time to put down your phone and think? The HTC Hero helps you be you.
  • Set the Scene for every time and place. It's like having a different phone for every different thing you do. 
  • Focus on people, not accounts. Look at all the messages from any one person—their emails, calls, texts, status updates, everything—all in one place. 
  • Keep your friends close. Stay in touch on Facebook®, Google Talk™, and Flickr®—and use HTC Peep™ to keep up with tweets. 
  • Find yourself, no matter where you find yourself. The minute your plane lands, your phone automatically updates the time and weather. 
  • App out your phone. Get one-touch access to thousands of apps on the Android Market™.
