Make your Nexus One more "Desire"-able with Sense UI

Sense UI is arguably the best custom UI made by HTC for Android OS (the Xperia X10 UI is probably the only one that could top it) and after HTC announced the HTC Desire will have the new and improved Sense UI, many Nexus One owners felt they should have wait and buy the Desire instead of the Nexus One... until now.

If you have rooted your Nexus One, you might want to try the custom ROM based from the HTC Desire device. Mind you though, this is still an alpha release, a couple of performance issues here and there (at least that's what I saw from the video), but overall it's a fully functional ROM and give the dev some more time to tweak it, then this ROM is surely going to be a hit!

The ROM it self has a couple of cool features, like Flash 10.1, an expose-like homescreen switcher, an FM Radio application - although I'm not really sure that it'll work on the Nexus One and many more. Can't wait to flash? Head to this link for more info.

HTC Hero will get refreshed Android 2.1 and Sense UI too

While people are buzzing about newly announced HTC Desire and HTC Legend, HTC confirms that HTC Hero owners will not be left over. Officially Hero will get update of Android 2.1 on this Feb/March in Europe and Asia.

It will be equipped with new Sense and Friend Stream, displaying Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr into one update list. Of course, on hardware side, it will still be Hero, without Legend's aluminum case.

Unfortunately, HTC Magic will not be included into this update, at least not officially.

HTC Smart: a BREW powered smartphone for masses

HTC is long known as supporter of Windows Mobile, and now Android. Now the Taiwan company is trying to enter new market by offering BREW powered smartphone named HTC Smart. The phone is officially announced during CES 2010. HTC claims it defines new category of smartphones for masses.

Dubbed as phone for masses, most likely it will be offered in cheaper price but with sufficient capability of what usual smartphone can do. If you haven't heard BREW Mobile Platform for a while, it's a platform developed by Qualcomm previously targeting app platform market (like Java). 

HTC Smart will not carry 1GHz processor or 512MB RAM, instead it's packed with 300MHz processor, 255 MB of RAM, 2.8-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen with QVGA resolution, 3G HSPA 2100 MHz, Quad-Band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.5 mm stereo audio jack, and a microSD 2.0 compatible card slot. There's also HTC-style Sense UI on it. The phone will come this spring to European and Asian market.
