I just did the same thing. Carphone Warehouse. Hello Desire, goodbye Hero

So how much better is it than the Hero?

Good question. It looks better. It's more pocket friendly as it's much slimmer. The screen is fantastic, and it is quicker.

There are things I don't like at the moment though. I thought I'd like the power button where they'd relocated it, but I preferred it where it is on the Hero. It's bigger and harder for me to hold and operate with one hand. The screen is a fingerprint magnet, and I'm a bit wary about battery life.

Other than that it's great

 

[lekky]

Don't turn it on yet Anthony1, its hard but make sure its fully charged before you press the power button, you'll get much better battery life in the long run!! Its killing me to watch it charge tho, goreous phone and screen, so thin and light.

 

[Jaffa]

Grrr, this thread is making me so jealous!

Not had the Hero long, got it when I renewed my contract with Orange. If I'd have known the new phones were coming out not long after, I could've waited till then.

Never mind, the Hero is great and does everything I want it to for now and I'm happy with it, I have no wish for one of these new flashy phones.































































As you can see, I lie like a cheap carpet !!!!!

Not true actually. They make you do that with all phones but it's really just a hold over from the old Nickel based phones of a few years ago. Modern Lithium-Ion batteries don't need the initial 'priming charge' you can start using them pretty mjuch as soon as the first charge is about 40% or higher.

I've never given any of the Li-Ion batteries in any of my phones the initial few hours recommended and I've never had any battery issues.

Was using my Desire after about 1/2 hour on charge, it's fine

[tojjer]

Lekky won't be around for a while now..

He'll be on the Desire forum asking for help !!!!!

 

[Jaffa]

Let's hope he does not drop that brick on his foot, big ugly thing, hero is. Much better looking:S

If that cheers you up, I personally think that it isn't such a good deal to buy a whole new phone just for a 10-20% speed boost due to a slightly improved hardware. But then again I am no tech specialist

 

[Jaffa]

100% speed boost almost, and a bigger and better display.

I though the amount of MHz were not decisive...

I thought that Hero was running 500mhz ish and Desire was running full 1Ghz snapdragon ?
