If you live in Canada and would love a new Android phone then we have an alternative for you. The HTC Hero, one of the best Android phones available to date, will be available in a Telus store near you soon. What's even better about it is that it comes in GSM flavor which means it will work no matter where you take it with you.

The GSM HTC Hero will be very similar in specs to the CDMA version. You can expect a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, a 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi b/g and HSDPA support. There's no telling if Telus' Hero will come with Android 1.5 or Android 2.0 from the beginning. But HTC did confirm the fact that the Hero will receive the Android 2.0 update so Telus users should expect to see a similar treatment. We have no release dates and pricing details at this point but we'll be back with more once Telus makes the Hero official.
