Definitely not the Tattoo, it's screen is resistive-based (much worse than the Spica's capacitative one) and a good bit smaller. If you could exchange it with the Hero for free, and it was new, and you didn't mind the hassle of moving all your stuff over, otherwise I wouldn't bother. The advantages of the Hero:
  • - HTC Sense: basically a User Interface that sits on top of the Android platform, brings a couple of nice touches to it, but little that can't be done with some customisation of the Spica
  • - Bigger user community: The Spica doesn't have that many people using it, so when it comes to stuff like custom ROMs, rooting tutorials or trouble-shooting device-specific stuff, the Hero is way out in front. Not much of an issue if you don't plan to root or install a custom ROM
In terms of updates, the Hero and Spica are still on 1.5. Supposedly both will be updated to 2.1, although there's no firm dates on when that will happen for either
