  • It's only been a few months since the HTC Magic

The editors didn't like

  • 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
  • Camera can’t capture night or motion shots
  • Phone may slow down when storage fills up.
  • Lacklustre camera
  • No frontfacing camera for twoway video calls
  • Moderate battery life
  • Sluggish at times
  • Flash video is dodgy
  • No easy way to back up and restore
  • Button and menu overkill
  • Not much

  • The HTC Hero Pink is superb and the best iPhone competitor we've reviewed so far. Our only disappointment is that HTC didn't use a faster processor. If you're not bothered by the slight lag though then we couldn't recommend this phone enough.Add your o...

  • 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...

  • 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 ...
