Unboxing: HTC Hero

by Jose R. Ortiz on Aug.15, 2009, under Unboxing

The tech world has been waiting for someone to step up and take the lead on the possibilities that the Android OS holds. Even though HTC was the brand behind the first Android device, it seemed to be in name only since the hardware was not up to the standards that HTC had set for itself. The HTC Magic changed that a bit, with its HTC style looks, but the OS was still the same ol’ vanilla flavor. Enter the HTC Hero. An device with HTC sprinkled all over it; on both the hardware and the software. Though the unboxing gallery doesn’t show off HTC’s customized Android build, it does put on display HTC’s design prowess. Check out the gallery for some unboxing shots and stay tuned for first impressions and a full review.
