While I'm definitely not tired of HTC's Hero, I needed to write about a couple of other things real quick before coming back at you with the full specs and PR photos. We can speculate on the carrier and talk about Sense later. This post is about the hardware. Folks looking for this probably want to get straight to the menu, so let's do it; straight dope, no filler. Well, no more verbiage, anyway.

And just in case anybody think's I pulled off a post without doing anything but copying and pasting a press kit, allow me to wildly speculate that the feature which makes the US version of Hero different from that of Europe and Asia, could go beyond color. The US Hero may be the first phone to ship with Donut. I pulled that out of thin air, just so you know.
