In a press conference conducted by the company yesterday, HTC's Marketing Director for ANZ, Anthony Petts said that the two new handsets focus on personalisation and accessibility.
"The phones are equipped to directly reflect the user's mood, aesthetic and natural communication patterns. They are the manifestation of HTC's research and observations of human communication interactions and needs, joining a family of HTC phones designed specifically around user specifications," says Petts.
The HTC Hero sports a 3.2-inch HVGA screen with an anti-fingerprint layer to minimise smudges, comes with a 3.5mm stereo headset jack, a 5-megapixel camera, and a microSD card slot to expand the unit's memory. Since the company wanted to create a phone that ‘perfectly fits your life,' the Hero comes with 7 panels that can be customised. For example, a user can put Facebook, Twitter, Outlook, Photos, Music Player, and Weather on the panels, with a user gaining access to it with a slide of a finger. The unit also comes with GPS, digital compass, gravity-sensor, and Wi-Fi built-in.
