The HTC Hero
I test and review a lot of mobile phones, but in a mobile phone market dominated by Apple, Blackberry, Samsung and Nokia, I can't help but have a soft spot for HTC; I think it is a British thing, a love for the underdog? But as much as I admire HTC, I can't help but worry that in trying to take on competitors like the iPhone their new HTC Hero is punching above its weight. So I turned it on to find out?
Appearance
When I was told that I was finally going to get my hands on HTC's latest handset, I thought I'd better do a bit of research? but when saw the publicity pictures I feared the worst? It looked a lot like its predecessor the T-Mobile G1, with that Jimmy Hill like chin. This was a bad start for me; I love the design of all of HTC's handsets, except one? the T-Mobile G1, so I wasn't expecting ...

Advantages: Well made, interface is surprisingly good, Android apps are excellent Disadvantages: Battery life could be better, no bluetooth data transfer capability
available on Orange.
The choices were limited and having sustained a poor Blackberry experience for 18 months I was keen to explore new avenues. Luckily the HTC Hero presented itself to me as a viable option and despite having seen the television advertising campaign a couple of months prior and mocking it's cringe worthy 'Hero' branding I still took the plunge as it posed the most impressive package from the choices available to me.
Out of the box:
At this time I was still adamant that I wanted and IPhone and realised that the HTC Hero was easily fetching £300 on auction sites. I thought to myself "as soon as I take it out of the box I'll know whether to keep it or sell it for an IPhone". Indeed as I removed it from the box I immediately noticed how well built the phone is. It's of reassuring weight and the teflon finish of the Graphite ...

Advantages: Quality of the phone and touchscreen, WIFI, Expandable customizable homescreen Disadvantages: Price, no flash for the camera
I'd say that this phone gives the iphone a run for it's money!
The touchscreen is very responsive.
I love how I can customize the homescreen - I've put an icon on there so that with one touch i can start to text my boyfriend.
It's got a good alarm clock (quite important for me!)
When texting it shows up the past messages like a conversation in msn.
Also the predictive texting and adding words to its dictionary is easy to use. There are different layouts for the on screen keyboard (full qwerty, standard phone keyboard or a squashed up qwerty)
You need to have a contract with unlimited internet access to use this phone to it's full potential!
The thing that makes me think that the new iphone is better than this HTC Hero is that with the iphones you can have loads of applications to choose from, but with the Hero you're limited to what ...
