Intro

"Be yourself. That's the idea behind the HTC Hero™, a phone that follows your lead. Time to work? Time to play? Time to put down your phone and think? The HTC Hero helps you be you.

Set the Scene for every time and place. It's like having a different phone for every different thing you do.

Focus on people, not accounts. Look at all the messages from any one person—their emails, calls, texts, status updates, everything—all in one place.

Keep your friends close. Stay in touch on Facebook®, Google Talk™, and Flickr®—and use HTC Peep™ to keep up with tweets.

Find yourself, no matter where you find yourself. The minute your plane lands, your phone automatically updates the time and weather.

App out your phone. Get one-touch access to thousands of apps on the Android Market™."
