Despite being officially set to launch in about an hour, HTC has gone ahead and launched an official website for their upcoming handset, the HTC Hero.

The newly launched website gives us all sorts of data that was previously unknown. First things first, this will in fact be an Android phone. Other than sporting Google’s operating system the Hero will feature a Qualcomm 528 MHz processor, a 3.2-inch 230×480 touch-screen TFT-LCD display and a 5MP camera. Additionally it will feature GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi and a 3.5mm audio jack.

You can head over to the website at www.htc.com/www/product/hero/overview.html.

No word on pricing or availability yet but we’ll keep you updated.

As you can see Verizon has gone ahead and released to the public a new section of its website. The user review feature has been in our news a while ago and it’s now ready to be implemented. If you’re anxious to speak your mind about your latest purchase then by all means, go right ahead and do so. You can rate handsets on a five star scale and you will be judging the ease of use, the display, the overall design and features and the battery life. You can jot down your personal review and bring up pros and cons for any phone. The only downsize of all that is that you will have to log in your account before writing your review. And reviews will be judged by Verizon employees which means your personal rants about certain devices might not be approved.
