HTC Hero
October 21, 2009 – 00:05So here we go: I finally stepped into the twentyfirst century and bought a new phone: the HTC Hero with Google Android OS. My previous set was a nokia from 1837 which allowed to make and receive calls and send the occasional SMS. I was never really interested in all the new phones that came out with just a few more Mpixel camera, radio, ability to play mp3, crappy symbian apps or Uncle Steve’s ‘Look I’m part of the Cult’ Badge.
Then came Google with Android. Android is an open platform. I like open platforms. But I didn’t like T-Mobile’s G1, which was the only Android phone for a long time in Europe. So I had to wait a few more months and be patient and then there came HTC with it’s new Android phone. Fine, I bought one, I got one, I’m happy and I’m satisfied. Finally I have an internet enabled hand held, pocket size open platform. Great. Now I can be even more productive.
