Watch your back Palm and Blackberry: Android is going to outshine both of you soon

The HTC Hero is the first Android phone of the manufacturer to run the personalized Sense interface. It changes the overall appearance of the OS and adds a number of new features. The Hero is also the first Android phone to support Flash and is powered by a Qualcomm 528MHz processor and 288 MB RAM/512 MB ROM. Additional functionality includes a 3.5mm jack, trackball, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi. It is a quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G handset.

The HTC Hero is to get into the product catalogue of China Unicom and this can happen as soon as at the end of this month. It’s possible that its release is delayed though, due to the extensive testing it has to be subjected to prior to its market launch. The handset is expected to roll out at the hefty price of $820 and will also come in a special red-colour variety, aside from the brown and white versions we already know of.

Too bad I can’t wait for either Palm Pre or the HTC Hero, I bought myself the HTC S740 to replace the ageing Dopod C500.
