It's only been a few months since the HTC Magic
But the leap forward HTC's made in the meantime is phenomenal. That's down to the new Sense overlay on top of Android. HTC's stuffed in loads more widgets to pop on your home screen - of whi...

Progress needed for multimedia
Overly dependent on Google services
The Hero is a more mature Android phone. Progress still needs to be made but it is certainly the best of the phones currently using the Google OS
Poor camera
Laggy OS
Lack of video codec support
Slow internet browsing
Below par camera
Slight lag
Video performance
Needless lip on body
Average video app
Interface overly complicated
Uninspiring looks
As slick as the Hero looks
HTC could still fine tune the hardware a bit more. The camera lacks a flash
The trackball feels cheap
And that lip on the bottom juts out even more than Leslie Ash's face pillows. While it feels fine in the hand
It's...
Some issues with Flash video support
Some people may be overwhelmed by customisation options
Angled ‘chin’ design an acquired taste. Limited internal memory. Memory card slot under cover. Disappointing camera

Abstract: The HTC Hero is the best Android based handset we have seen to date. The abundance of home screens may be difficult for some to master, but you only need to use what you want to and can ignore the rest. Battery life might be a concern to some, though....
Battery power can drain easily if you switch on all updates and it can run a little sluggishly if you've lots of applications open at once, but if you're looking for a powerful smart phone that has a world of great apps at its fingertips and does every...
Abstract: A lot has happened since the first Google phone arrived, so it makes sense for HTC to make a legitimate stab at upgrading the Android operating system, now that Palm has its web-errific Pre, the iPhone has graduated to video (not to mention cut-and-pas...
T he combination of HTC and Google Android makes the Hero mobile phone a genuinely new experience. The Magic HTC already gave us a hunch we were witnessing something significant of which we would see much more in the future. And no doubt, HTC now ta...

The Hero isnt a huge step beyond the Magic (exclusive to Vodafone) but there is a higher resolution camera (albeit with a poor control system), 3.5mm headphone jack and HTCs new Sense front-end that gives you seven panels to show widgets and other ...
