Damn, 6-8 phones?
I know of HTC Bliss (chick phone), Wildfire S (still a chick phone), Hero and… HTC Vigor. That’s all I got. 4 out 6-8. =p
There is a new HTC Hero? :O
Yep. Formerly known as the Kingdom. It’s basically an Evo 3D but minus the 3D =)
Yeah, this is the one they are branding the HTC Hero 4G – correct?
And minus the Dual Core Processor and the 1 GB of RAM
Maybe it’s a Hero S .. or Heroes ;)
Am wondering if its going to be dual core or not for the hero 4g
I am sick of all the patent news….patents should be a corporate issue…here I want to read about leaked images, rumours, cool apps, future android versions…..ahhh!!!
If Google really did turn down a joint bid…that would be an interesting twist to all this.
