As you can see, this version of Hero features no “chin”, the handset’s trademark design attribute, at least in its European version. HTC Hero’s main appeal is the HTC Sense UI, but it also comes with a cool virtual QWERTY keyboard, a 5 megapixel camera with video recording, a customizable homescreen and Android Market.
