Hey guys I had my hero for over a week. Now keep in mind I had the HTC Touch and moved to the Touch Pro and then to Hero. When I got my Touch, it was my first HTC phone. I got used to the onscreen keyboards and over all use of the phone. Then here comes the HTC Touch PRO. Loved that phone more then the Touch due to the keyboard and touch flo 3d. I still laugh when I go to weather and it's raining and you get the windshield wiper.
Now I have the HERO. This along with many others is the first android phone I have used. I am hooked on android. I love HTC. I agree with many others that they need to come up with an update to allow storage of apps on the sd card.
The things I like on the Hero are these:
Size and feel
I love how the onscreen keyboard is easy to use
and of course android
Not being windows mobile
I like the pinch and zoom
5.0 camera
Track ball...except mine is awesome when going from left to right, but not so much as it seems so slow or non responsive when going from right to left
visual voice mail
Things I don't like
The phone is sluggish
I have to keep restarting my phone at least 1 to 2 x a day due to the headphones will not stay recognized
Even though I mentioned I like the 5.0 camera, there is no flash and taking pics unless you have the flash, the pics not so much.
Plus if they did with the HTC TOUCH PRO and creating an app to have your phone be a flashlight (actual flashlight by using the camera flash) it's fun and it can come in handy
We all like the eye candy sense. It was great on the Touch, better on Touch Pro and the best on the Hero...Yes the Hero gives you 7 home screens. Yes you can add apps on the screens, except for the calendar as it feels up the whole screen
Now we have the Samsung moment....
Things I like
The speed
The Keyboard...keep in mind that you can add more keyboards onto either phone, but having that slider keyboard is nice.
The screen
Still debating on the optical touch pad, but I am sure like anything else anyone can get used to it
visual voice mail
I like how the bottom buttons except for the call and hang up buttons are touch buttons
I love that both phones come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack....Thank you HTC to finally getting on the ball with this.
Now with the HERO you get the phone, some manuals, a data cable and the wall charger that you plug in the data cable to
With the Moment you get the above + headphones. Now HTC the king of packaging accessories, what happened here? At least on the touch pro we got a carrying case (didn't use it), headphones, adapter, data cable and wall charger and manuals too. Oh and a screen protector. They don't cost much, do they....Hero fans were shortened in this dept. Were paying for a device, we are trying to be loyal. Not saying we should get something for free, but think if you have your name on the accessories like your head phones, it's advertisement. Just saying
Now yes like I mentioned the hero has 7 screens. How many screens are you really using at 1 time? Yes sense is great and yes I love new technology. But the more I am thinking, the more I think I want a moment. I hate decisions.
