We’ve snatched the HTC Hero from its cardboard cubicle already, but if our gallery stuffed full of up close and personal photos didn’t satisfy your Android urges our hands-on video will. Come see the touchscreen telephone shot on film right here!

The HTC Hero is Orange’s first venture with Google’s mobile OS, and while T-Mobile and Vodafone have already got HTC Android phones on the shelf, the wait may have paid dividends for the network. From our play so far, the HTC Hero is the most mature Android phone yet, with hardware to match the new Sense UI too. The 5MP camera dwarfs the iPhone 3GS’s puny sensor, and the teflon coat feels so natural, you wonder why it took so long to make the jump from non-stick frying pans.


HTC Hero unboxed!


The HTC Hero is shipping shortly, but get a glimpse of what to expect in our hands-on video. Hit up the play button and fill up your peepers!
