Long Description
Android Operating System
The HTC Hero runs on the Android operating system, developed in part by Google. Downloadable applications, full customisation and support for Google sevices such as Google Maps, G-Mail and Google Search are all Possible with Android. The Hero runs the latest version of Android meaning that it dispenses with a hardware QWERTY keyboard in favour of an on screen one which helps to keep size and weight down.
HTC Sense
Make it your Hero with HTC Sense, letting you personalise and create a phone just right for you. The HTC Hero lets you add widgets to your homescreen, also letting you customise the size and style, flick through multiple windows, called scenes (which are also fully customisable), so all your favourites are at your fingertips and search for contacts, Twitter Tweets, Emails and much more. HTC Sense also brings all your contacts together in one place. When you view people in your contacts list you see the different ways to get in touch; Email, social networking updates such as Facebook and even what photos your friends have recently uploaded.
Touchscreen
The HTC Hero features a crystal clear 3.2 inch TFT touchscreen display. Use your fingers to navigate through menus; once you’ve used a touchscreen phone you’ll never look back! The Hero even has a built in accelerometer which automatically rotates the screen to match how the phone is held plus handwriting recognition for quick and easy texts and emails.
3G
The Hero features 3G which stands for third generation, and the system is the third generation in the evolution of mobile networks, after analogue and GSM. 3G offers high speed data transfers and the ability to make video calls between compatible mobile phones.
HSDPA
HSDPA offers a similar benefit to a 3G network that GPRS offered to the GSM networks. It offers a higher speed data transfer with a compatible handset. HSDPA is often referred to as Mobile Broadband.
Wi-Fi
With Wi-Fi you can use your HTC phone to connect to a local wireless network (W-LAN) to connect to the internet. This offers a cheap (sometimes free) method of connecting to the net to download emails, files, or check on your favourite website.
GPS
With built in GPS you can use the Hero to locate your position, plan your journey, and as a general SatNav device, when used in conjunction with compatible mapping software.
Web Browser
With a built in Web Browser you can access internet sites directly from your handset. Check the latest scores, look up train times, get a weather report, or find the answer to the question in the pub quiz. With the inbuilt web browser you have the power of the internet with you, wherever you are.
5.0 Megapixel Camera
Thanks to a built in 5.0 megapixel camera, with auto focus, the HTC Android phone takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog or favourite photo sharing site such as Flickr.
Bluetooth v2.0
Thanks to Bluetooth wireless technology, data transmission is quick and easy. And what’s more, with Bluetooth wireless printing, sending images or documents to a compatible printer is child’s play wherever you are, allowing you to produce quality printouts effortlessly.
Music Player
With a built in music player, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the phone, including MP3 and AAC.
Email Client
The HTC Hero has an email client, which will allow you to receive email from your own personal email account, and send pictures, videos or text emails to any email account anywhere in the world. Email access on the phone is simple to set up and a cost effective way of keeping in touch.
Sony Ericsson W995
The Sony Ericsson W995 is the ultimate Walkman phone. Featuring an 8.1 Megapixel camera with autofocus, flash, face detection and video capture, the W995 delivers amazing image quality.

Nokia 9300
Announcing the 9300 Smartphone, Nokia suggested that it has both ‘beauty and brains’, and is ‘the best all-in-one device for users, regardless of workstyle or lifestyle’. The implication is that it could appeal both to consumers who are considering a handy mobile data device with built-in communications features, and to professionals for whom the 9500 Communicator seems bulky.
The lack of Wi-Fi and a camera, along with a smaller overall device size, are the key differences between the two phones. The handset-only prices are split by a hair and not really relevant when comparing the two products. If you can live without the camera and Wi-Fi, the 9300 Smartphone will definitely be easier to carry around in a pocket.
Design
The 9300 Smartphone certainly looks small and neat next to the 9500 Communicator. The latter’s 148 by 57 by 24mm dimensions and 222g weight are reduced to 132 by 51 by 21mm and 167g. By way of comparison, T-Mobile’s MDA III, for example, weighs 210g, while O2′s xda II is a slightly more pocket-friendly 190g. The reduction in size is accompanied by a different look, with the 9300 Smartphone clad in a two-tone silver livery that we find more appealing than the three-tone grey, black and silver of the 9500 Communicator.
However, the basic premise remains the same: the 9300 Smartphone has a number pad on the front and opens up to reveal a keyboard and wide-format screen. The device is designed to work both as a data manager and a mobile phone.
Features
The 9300 Smartphone relies on Symbian Series 40 for its phone-related functions and features. The external screen is a 128×128-pixel, 16-bit colour display, with a cursor and softkey buttons for navigation. The 9300 Smartphone is a tri-band GSM/GPRS phone with support for high-speed EGPRS (EDGE) connectivity, although no UK network operators have yet adopted this mode.
The phone can be turned on and off independently of the data features, which are the real draw. This side of things is handled by Symbian OS 7 and Nokia’s Series 80 platform, and becomes available when you open up the device in clamshell format. A 640×200-pixel screen occupies the upper part of the open clamshell, with a QWERTY keyboard beneath it. The screen arranges the bundled applications in groups identified by icons — the home screen is called the Desk.
All the applications you’d expect are here: contact book, diary, word processor, spreadsheet, presentations manager, file manager, calculator and Web browser. A messaging tool takes care of email, SMS and faxes. There’s also a voice recorder, a music player and a movie player, plus a separate telephone dialler that uses the 9300′s loud and very effective speakerphone. Microsoft Office compatibility with appropriate applications extends to Office 97.
On the right side of the screen is a column of four buttons, just like the ones on the 9500 Communicator. These buttons allow quick access to up to four options, which vary depending on the application being used. As with the 9500 Communicator, some applications can be stretched across the full width of the screen, in which case these button-based options are not available.
The lower part of the clamshell is occupied by a keyboard. This comprises a set of QWERTY keys with a number row above and above that a row of wide thin buttons which act as shortcuts to applications. One of these is labelled My Own and can be customised. There is also a small joystick which acts as a means of navigation within and between applications. Applications generally have a menu system which is activated using a dedicated key, then navigated with the joystick, though there are also many key combination shortcuts which can be used as alternatives. A number of the keys have second functions.
The 9300 Smartphone’s keyboard is remarkably good considering it’s packed into such a small device. Typing was equally successful when single-finger prodding with the device sat on a desk, or two-thumb typing with it nestling in the hands. That said, data-entry speeds are obviously slower than they would be with a notebook keyboard.
Nokia’s PC Sync desktop software manages data sharing via a wired connection, and the package comes with both a cradle and cable.
There is 80MB of built-in memory for storing data and applications, and this is non volatile — that is, it will be retained if the battery runs completely down. There’s also a MultiMedia Card slot under the battery cover that can be swapped without the need to remove the battery itself. Nokia provides a 128MB card to boost the memory quota. If you want to add peripherals, you’ll have to use Nokia’s proprietary Pop-Port interface. Bluetooth is built in, and we successfully paired the 9300 with a Bluetooth headset. Two notable absentees from the feature set — both present in the 9500 Communicator — are Wi-Fi connectivity and a camera.
Performance
The processor, a Texas Instruments OMAP 1510 running at 150MHz, delivered well when applications were running, but we found them a little slow to load. We noticed this most when opening our contacts database, which is admittedly rather large.
Battery life was impressive. We instructed the device to play MP3 music from the MultiMedia Card continuously, and it did so for 12 hours and 42 minutes. We generally like to force the screen to stay on during this process, in order to work the battery hard, but in this case there is no ‘always on’ option for the screen, so we allowed it to go off after 6 minutes. Consequently the test is not really comparable to those we carry out for other mobile devices.
Our real-world everyday usage test indicates that Nokia’s claim of 3.5 to 4 hours of talk and 150 to 200 hours of standby time is about right.
Nokia N96
Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N96, a multimedia computer truly optimized for video and TV. With a large 2.8″ screen, 16 gigabytes of internal memory and support for high-quality videos in a wide range of formats, the dual-slide Nokia N96 represents an exciting new chapter in mobile media.
Accessing internet videos is quick and simple. The Nokia N96 supports common video formats including MPEG-4, Windows Media Video and Flash Video, making favorite videos easy to view. Transferring and accessing videos is even faster with the high-speed USB 2.0 connection and WLAN and HSDPA support. In select markets, the integrated DVB-H receiver offers live broadcast TV with an automatically updating program guide. The massive memory can store up to 40 hours of video content. The storage capacity of the Nokia N96 can even be further expanded with an optional microSD card, such as the new Nokia 8GB microSDHC Card MU-43 which increases the available memory of the Nokia N96 to a total of 24 GB. For added convenience, the Nokia N96 features a ‘kickstand’ on the back cover that allows for hands-free viewing.
For a superb music experience, the Nokia N96 features media keys, a 3.5 mm headphone connector and built-in 3D stereo speakers. The Nokia Maps application offers richer maps with urban details and satellite views and has upgrade options such as City Guides, turn-by-turn pedestrian mode and voice-guided car navigation.
The Nokia N96 boasts a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, flash and video light. It allows DVD-like quality video capture at 30 frames per second. Further, with the integrated A-GPS, consumers can now ‘geotag’ their pictures with location data and share them with their online communities.
The Nokia N96 naturally supports the Ovi family of Nokia internet services, including maps, music, media sharing.
