The HTC Hero should be the third smartphone from HTC featuring Android, and we have talked about it a few posts ago. But now it seems, according to the Amazon pre-order, that the device should be launched soon. The famous website has it listed for pre-order at the price of £429, and with a date fixed to July 15th.

The price seems a little high, doesn’t it? But we’ll have to wait and see.

Sony Ericsson has presented the T715, a new slidephone that focuses on the messenging, personal agenda and internet. It is small as a credit card (except for the width), and it features a 2.2″ display with the resolution of 240×320 pisels. This model also has a high-speed internet connection with integrated Google Maps and AccuWeather.com softwares.

Also featured are the 3.2 Megapixel photocamera, 90MB of internal memory and support to microSD cards. The T715 will be available from September on, the price is not yet known.

Through a dedicated event, HTC has officially launched the successor of the G1. The HTC Hero has the Android 1.5 OS, and it seems good enough to rival the main smartphones with Android on the market. It features a rather original design, wit a 3.2″ touchscreen display with the resolution of 320×480 pixels. The photocamera has the resolution of 5 Megapixels with autofocus, but it lacks flash.

The connectivity is done through the HSDPA protocol, but it also has Wi-Fi connection. The internal memory is expandable through microSDHC cards, and GPS, accelerometer and 3.5mm for headphones are also present. It will be sold in the UK from next month on, with Orange.

The smartphone market is rising quickly, and that was easy to see with the first market data first released around May. HTC, that back in May was fourth in the list, has announced a sales preview of 20% more than last year.

It was Peter Chou, HTC’s CEO to announce the fact during one of the typical conferences with stock owners. Last year, HTC sold 12 million devices worldwide, and by the end of the year, the Taiwanese company expects to sell 14 million. The reasons for those statistics could be based around Android’s success, installed on the HTC Dream and HTC magic.

Each person has their own passion, and many love travelling and learn more about the countries and places they visit. For those, National Geographic has presented the National Geographic Duet Travel Phone, a device born from the collaboration with the Cellular Abroad carrier, which works with SIM cards aimed for international calls.

The cellphone isn’t exactly the top of technology. Being a device aimed for travellers, it has less of the modern technology in order to enhance the battery duration. It’s strong point is, however, the international calls: the calls cost around 15 to 50 cents per minute to 185 countries, and free entrance calls. The device will be sold for $199.

Philips continues to manufacture entry-level devices. In fact, the company has launched two new cellphones: C600 and W186, both with candybar design.

The C600 manages both GSM and CDMA networks. The 2.4″ display has a resolution of 240×320 pixels, while the photocamera has the resolution of 1.3 Megapixels. Also present are the mp3 players and the 2.5MB internal memory expandable through microSD cards.

The W186 has a 2″ display with the resolution of 176×220 pixels, and the photocamera has the resolution of 2 Megapixels. The internal memory features 150MB and it’s expandable through microSD cards. This model also features the HSDPA connectivity and FM radio.

Price and availability haven’t yet been announced.

Taking advantage of the CommunicAsia 2009 being held in Singapore, Huawei has announced two new smartphones: U8230 and C8000. The U8230 is a device with a 3.5″ touchscreen display and a 3.2 Megapixel photocamera, featuring Android. The C8000 features Windows Mobile and has a 2.8″ touchscreen display.

Both of them will be available from September on, the price is still not known.

After having appeared a couple of times in images and video with the codename Niagara, the BlackBerry 9630 is now official and named BlackBerry Tour.
