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

  • Abstract:  I feel dirty in a way, and Ill tell you why. This is and always has been a Windows Mobile site. To be given a HTC Hero to play with for a couple of weeks? No.. we dont want it. Why? Because its powered by Google Android - a new competitor for Window...

  • Epic customisability; well-designed home screen widgets with live updates; easy-to-use keyboard; convenient Android Market for apps; multitouch capability; Flash support; 3.5mm headphone jack; Facebook integration
  • Sluggish at times; Flash video is dodgy; no easy way to back up and restore; button and menu overkill
  • If you can stand the Hero's occasional sluggishness, it's a fantastic smart phone packed with great features. We like its distinctive looks, and the innovative user interface brings Android much closer to being as fun and good-looking as the iPhone OS...

  • At last the phone weve been waiting for has finally arrived. The HTC Hero has emerged blinking into the light, complete with the new Sense UI, to unleash a smackdown on the iPhone 3GS and the Palm Pre. Android upgraded, this is the most powerful Googl...

  • HTC Sense UI, Ease-of-use, Stonking touchscreen
  • Below par camera, Slight lag, Video performance
  • The Hero is a fantastic step-up from both the HTC G1 and Magic. With the new Sense UI and Android strapped to its back its a true contender for the do-it-all phone top spot.
