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

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

Responsive capacitive touchscreen, HTC's outstanding Sense UI, Great range of apps and widgets preinstalled, Web browser is a pleasure to use
Lack of significant internal memory, Poor video file recognition

Overall this is a massive improvement. The phone is well worth buying. What HTC has done is deliver an excellent consumer experience and bucket loads of functionality, from Google Maps to camcorder to easy access to applications.
Needs more processing grunt; menus not as smooth to scroll through as the iPhone; difficult to add contacts.
Distinctive design, Teflon-coated casing, Sense UI is excellent, user-friendly and a joy to use, Android platform, fully customisable, polished Web browser, 3.5mm headphone jack, contacts integration with social networking
Interface feels sluggish at various times
