We don’t know where it’s from, and we don’t know who made it, but a promo video for the HTC Hero has shown up online. Demonstrating a gloss-red Hero seemingly running the new “Rosie” GUI, the video shows the phone going online, accessing the Android market and generally flaunting its OS capabilities.
The “Rosie” homescreen, with its distinctive new clock and control bar along the bottom of the screen, makes several appearances. The multiple homescreen pages, plus widgets like music control, are also shown, before the video demonstrated mapping and motion-sensitive controls.
Finally, there are a full seven HTC Hero devices, each in glossy candy-colors: pale green, pink, yellow, red, black, turquoise and white. Anybody know any more about the origins of the video?
Update: The original video was taken down; here’s a copy:

nice video though
The "chin" on my G1 drives me nuts every time it's laying on my desk and I want to push one of the hard buttons......TILT!
No 3.5mm even after 2 android phones
I hope developers from XDA port its ROM to other android phones & the community moves on...
This phone i pray fail miserably & hTC learns its lesson
but they FAIL EPICLY when it comes to phone factor :/
what an ass ugly phone.....

I, too, would like confirmation that this phone will have a physical keyboard. A link would be sweet.
By the looks of the chin, if you threw it out the window, it would spin around and come flying back at you..
i dont wanna jump to conclusions about it.

also the 360 degree turning for the screen is cool, i think i read that the samsung i1700 (or whatever number it is) will also have this.
chinny chin chin!
I like the glossy effect to it but I can imagine it to be a fingerprint
nightmare. I feel like getting this instead of the 17500. My g1 is getting
more dull every day.

I dunno, I don't feel dull at all, it seems like every week something new is discovered. My main motive for switching is battery life.
other than that the phone is ugly!!!!! big chin, too square-ish in shape
And this hardware reminds me of those old Japanese futuristic shows/movies
Love the various colors
