Thanks all... most helpful indeed.
The camera really is secondary for us, real cameras are (almost always) better everytime so thats not an issue. As said, ultimately i'll let her decide as it will be hers and well, that's just the right thing to do. Besides, I don't much like being in the dog house!
As for me and my Hero, for me its the perfect size, just right. It has Sense so it does come with the 7 screens (as does the magic now its got its update - the 3 previously were because of Android limitations) and i'm eagerly awaiting the confirmed 2.0 rumoured 2.1 update. Bring it on!
Cheers.
