Following hot on the heels of their first two ventures into the world of Google Android phones, T-Mobile is now preparing the launch the HTC Hero, the big name cell phone provider’s third Google Android phone, following their myTouch 3G.

The HTC Hero features some things which are noticeably missing on the myTouch 3G. On the HTC, it is called the Sense. In short, HTC Sense takes on a new approach to the functionality of smartphones. These include Stay Close, Discover the Unexpected, and Make It Mine. Stay Close allows users to keep in touch with their family members and friends through a variety of mediums; Discover the Unexpected allows users to share a number of experiences right through their cell phones; and Make It Mine, as one might expect, allows users to personalize their phones in any number of ways.

As far as design goes, you can plainly see the sleekness of the Hero, which features angles and bevelled edges.

Personally, I happen to love everything about Sony and I absolutely love the fact that Sony has come out with all sorts of new phones and the fact that they are going a bit greener.  The latest and greatest inventions from Sony Ericsson are the C901 GreenHeart and the Naite phones.  Both of these phones are a lot greener than most cell phones and that is exactly what I am going to go into detail about right now.

For example, how many phones do you know of that built from recycled plastic components, or have waterborne paint or even have eco-friendly packaging?  All the above is what comes with the C901 GreenHeart and the Naite phones and honestly – these phones are packed with all sorts of technology too, so you are not going to be missing out on anything!

While these phones will not come out until quarter 2 and 3, they are definitely on the way and certainly some of the best cell phones in the world – because they help the environment!

All the same, those megapixels make sure that you will not ever have to miss taking a great picture.

You can jack the memory on up to sixteen gigs with an added microSD card.

Take the fact that this phone has GPS on it, a 10MP CCD camera along with a 3.3 inch VGA wide LCD screen, BlueTooth connectivity, Global roaming services and you can record videos on your phone, up to about 10MB capacity!  And if you do not like the color, you can switch it up to Ivory, Black, White, Bordo and even Blue.

So what are you waiting for again?  This phone is only about $497.00, which isn’t that bad for all that you get with it right?  Right!
