Orange
is thought to have won the exclusivity for the upcoming new Google Android
phone, dubbed the ‘HTC Hero’.
The phone will come with HSDPA
connectivity, bluetooth, and a 3-megapixel camera and will be the network’s
first Android-powered phone.
Vodafone snapped up the exclusivity
of the second Android powered phone, the HTC Magic, which was launched in on 1
May.
The first Google Android phone, the G1, was launched exclusively by T-Mobile in
October last year. The handset was also made by HTC.
The HTC Hero is targeted for an August
launch in the US, but a UK
release date has not yet been confirmed.
