Best HTC Blog

A bit like when Prince seemed to be losing it a few years ago, we get annoyed when people mess about with the names of things. There’s simply no need, no reason to mess with something just for the sake of it. And just how through all those dark years we never stopped calling Prince Prince, so now we are going to refuse to bow to T-Mobile’s tinkering and call the T-Mobile G2 Touch anything other than what it’s actual name is: the HTC Hero. And seeing as how we’ve already written on these pages about the HTC Hero, we’re not even going to say anything new at all about the T-Mobile Touch. Ha! How do you like that, hmmm, Mr T-Mobile?

Not that we ever got to meet Prince to call him Prince to his face, of course. But we would of done. And just as how most people who work at T-Mobile would probably only ever speak to us by accident (perhaps ask if we’d like some spare change, as happens all too often after a few too many lunchtime “shandies”), we’ll never get to tell them that their phone is actually called the HTC Hero and we won’t hear anything different from them. But, you know, it’s the thought that counts. The conviction of the thing. The principle.

Poor little HTC, we think. Not only are they such an inconsequential company that no one even knows what their three letters stand for (and we’re too stubborn to tell you – go look it up!), but then some big bully like T-Mobile comes along and erases all trace of their handiwork.

So join us, join us and scream at anyone who tries to tell you they’ve just bought the new T-Mobile G2, “No you’ve not! You’ve just bought the HTC Hero, the HTC Hero I tell you. HTC HERO HTC HERO HTC HERO!”

Of you could just read this T-Mobile G2 Touch review instead. Or have a gander at the official page. It’s up to you really.

HTC HERO!

Ahem.
