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

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 performance, no dedicated camera key or flash, Back button placed on chin

Sooth and responsive UI, Very user friendly Widgets, Music player is superb, Video playback is great
Camera is slow and image quality is average, Phone was just a wee bit sluggish, Limited Bluetooth
Misc. FeaturesWhen it comes to the simpler applications like a Calendar, Alarm, Notes, Stopwatch and such if you can’t find it on the handset already just get it from the AM, it’s all there. The Hero came preloaded with QuickOffice (read only)...
Abstract: If you go back to page one of this review, youd probably be over and over that long list of disadvantages in disbelief. We did but hell… in HTC Hero we still trust. Really, some of them are big enough like the flawed video playback (which seems more ...
