The G1 or Google phone as it is commonly known has been the main contender to the Apple iPhone's dominate, high end, touch screen Smartphone rein. Now HTC have created the HTC Hero packing even more features and technology in its slim and stylish design to push for a strong alternative to the iPhone.
Featuring a 5 Megapixel camera with video recording, the open source Android operating system, FM Radio, A-GPS and a wide range of application support via HTC's alternative to the App Store the HTC Hero has an impressive feature list which beats both the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS in many key areas.
With a good level of support and popularity and the increasing selection of apps available the HTC Hero is a great choice for anyone wanting a more affordable or just another alternative to the iPhone without sacrificing essential features or performance
