Samsung has announced that its Android-powered i7500 smartphone has been official launched in the Taiwan market. HTC is reportedly sending press invites for an event in Taiwan where it will launch its next Android smartphone for Taiwan, the Hero.

The Hero is already on the market here in America. HTC will reportedly be offering the Hero in Taiwan through Chunghwa Telecom. The i7500, in case you missed it before, has a 3.2-inch touchscreen, 5MP camera, and 8GB of storage.

  1. Where is the Hero available here in the U.S.? Is it only available unlocked or has a carrier started offering it?

    At current, it's only available unlocked and in European versions so no US 3G. Sprint is supposed to be getting the Hero in October but who knows.

    Ok, that's what I thought. I started thinking that I had completely missed the U.S. launch of the Hero. I was going to blame the over-coverage of the swine-flu "epidemic"
