The Hero is the first PDA phone to include Google's Androïd operating system and the HTC Sense interface. The HTC Hero is incredibly easy to use and fully customisable: you can add icons, widgets and other applications. In addition to its A-GPS chip, the Hero boasts a large HVGA screen so you can use it just like you would a GPS navigator. Plus, Google Maps will help you find your way and will even calculate the best route for you to take. When it comes to entertainment, the Hero has plenty to offer too. It's equipped with an MP3 player, which is compatible with AAC and MWA formats, and 3G/HSPDA technology, meaning you can surf the internet, check e-mails, share data and even post messages on your blog. What's more, this PDA phone sports a 5-megapixel photo sensor, WiFi connectivity and a Bluetooth port for wireless mobile communications
