Is it O.K to take off my battery often?

A battery pull is much like a hard boot on a pc. That isn't to say its something you don't want to do, however. Battery pulls are a common first step in troubleshooting phones and its a well known fact in blackberry circles that it remedies many issues.

There's not significant information on the Hero to know of it helps as much as it does on 'berries... but I do it if I see strange things happening on mine...

Pulling the battery from a powered off state will have no effect whatsoever.
