Buying proprietary accessories for any device can either be a costly affair or a vexatious one or both. Soon, HTC phone owners won’t have to experience the torment of buying proprietary mini USB headset jacks. The upcoming HTC Hero will be the first Android-based phone from HTC’s stable to have the industry standard 3.5mm jack.

“The vast majority of devices we launch after Hero will have a 3.5mm jack. Devices that we have already announced but that still come out after Hero will not necessarily be a part of this change,” HTC informed Mobile Crunch.
