With its 3.2-inch HVGA display, the HTC Hero is optimized for Web, multimedia and other content while maintaining a small size and weight. It also boasts a broad variety of hardware features including a GPS, digital compass, gravity-sensor, 3.5mm stereo headset jack, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera and expandable MicroSD memory, the company said.
The HTC Hero will be available to users across Europe in July and in Asia later in the summer. A distinct North American version will be available later in 2009, HTC said.
