I got a HTC Hero last week. I was debating between iPhone 3g (not 3gs as it is not available in India yet, you suck Apple!!!). But what made me go for HTC hero is probably that it has Andriod and iPhone 3g is so last year. Hero is brand new model. However if iPhone 3gs was available for a simlar price I guess I would have got that.
I am happy with my Hero. It isnt laggy like they say all over the internet. Thats because my hero has the ROM update installed already. So I didnt face any performance issues. However for fun I did root my Hero and installed Modaco ROM v2. It was fun. I dont notice any performance improvement with Modaco but then like I said my Hero had an optimized ROM already. I bet I could never do such cool stuff with an iPhone 3gs which is locked as hell. So I am happy with my choice. The music player is surprisingly very good. Love it. The browser is adorable. You can pinch and zoom just like the iPhone. That’s what I always wanted in a phone, a easy to use browser and this one does the job perfectly.
Now what do I hate about it? The camera. Dont be fooled by its 5 mega pixels. I had a k790i sony erricsson before and it’s camera was fantastic and it had a powerful flash too. The Hero takes lousy photos and it has no flash. A real drawback since I love taking photos impromtu. Other than that I find this phone perfect.
