When mobile phones are concerned, there is no other phone that has been put in high esteem like the HTC Hero. In fact, this phone was so well designed; it was the recipient of numerous awards. Namely, The Stuff Awards 2009 “Gadget Of The Year”, Mobile Choice “Phone Of The Year 2009”, and The T3 Gadget Awards 2009 “Gadget Of The Year”.
Simplicity Of Design
Looking at the HTC Hero for the first time, the first word that comes to mind is “simple”. All you see is a wide tall touch-screen on a mat silver casing. However, it is the simplicity in its design that has won this mobile phone numerous awards. Its sleek and slim feel is all you will ever need in a mobile phone.
A Closer Look At The HTC Hero’s Features
The design features of the phone revolve around 3 concepts. These concepts are “Make It Mine”, “Stay Close”, and “Discover The Unexpected”.
Make It Mine
Prepare to personalize like never before. Instead of the normal menus on conventional phones, you can personalize a variety of widgets.
For work, you can select a more serious theme that has quick access to your calendar, schedule, colleagues, and work applications. This allows you to focus on work, and not get distracted in other things.
If you’re relaxing on a weekend, you can switch your phone to a more relaxed mode. You can have easy access to your favorite tunes, the camera, videos, and friends.
If traveling on business or leisure, the phone gives you ready access to maps, local time, and weather reports. Have access to a local guide anywhere you are at any time.
Stay Close
Staying Close or in touch with friends and family has never been this easy. Any phone will allow you to call them at any time, but the HTC Hero takes it to a whole new level. Not only can you call friends and family with a simple touch, you get to see updates from them on Facebook or Twitter, or you get to see alerts of new emails from them. With this phone, losing touch will never be possible.
Discover The Unexpected
When it comes to browsing the internet, the HTC Hero is perfect for you. Feel free to bookmark websites, see live updates on Facebook and Twitter, check your mail, or just browse to your heart’s content. Don’t worry about not being able to read the small text. You can easily zoom in and zoom out.
When perusing through your phonebook, all you have to do is type in the name or the initials. This gives you easy access to whoever you want to interact with. Upon choosing a contact, you get to see a lot of information about that contact. Information like emails, updates, and photos.
While traveling, don’t worry about adjusting the time. It automatically adjusts depending on the destination.
Never before has owning a phone been this easy; you don’t have to adjust to the features of the phone; the phone adjusts to you. This is what makes the HTC Hero the hero of mobile phones.
