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: We've had HTC's Hero for a little while now, and have had the opportunity to fully get to grips with all of its features. It’s the smallest Android-based handset we've seen, with a thin 14mm casing and compact dimensions.It looks stunning from the fro...
The HTC Hero is without doubt one of the most impressive smartphones weve reviewed. The design is distinctive, the user interface is absolutely superb and its packed with all the latest features. Unfortunately, the Hero doesnt seem to have the hard...

Lacklustre camera, No frontfacing camera for twoway video calls, Moderate battery life
The Android platform has come of age in the Hero. HTCs Sense interface is superbly implemented, the device itself is intuitive to use, and the software is largely well thought-out. Wed have liked more internal memory, longer battery life and a bette
A hugely likeable phone that excels at web browsing and manages to just live up to its ambitious name. However, a couple of quirks prevent us giving it an all-out recommendation. ...
The HTC Hero has a lot of things going for it, with an impressive multi-touch screen, easy-access social networking apps and Googles ever-evolving Android OS, which HTC has customised, adding a few tricks of its own. Its still not quite as straightf...
I like it, I prefer it to the Magic, but that is personal choice and I am sure many will like the Magic over the Hero.The day to day use and the endlessly customisable screens make this device great to pick up and play with in quieter moments. The auto...
Abstract: There are a few little niggles about this handset, such as the jutting lip and the fiddliness of taking pictures with the trackball. But the drawbacks are far outweighed by the multimedia and business centric benefits on offer, not to mention the possi...
Abstract: Androids may dream of electric sheep, but HTC dreams of producing a touch-powered phone that can really give the iPhone something to worry about. With the Hero it pretty much manages to turn that dream into a reality. We know you've probably looked at t...
