I don't care what nobody sais the I phone is the best thing that happened to the cell phone industry. Ha Ha!
In your dreams I got the hero played with it for a day and gave my I phone away. I phone is the ugliest smartphone I've ever had the hero has saved the day. Greatest phone made thus far. I phone is all blocky and doophy please hero has done it top notch. P.S. on sprint there is no lag. And the apps are superfast.

Not phone related, but I just wanted to point out how much better quality the audio is. It sounds amazing actually.

Video quality is good. Better then the others, but the audio stuck out to me.

i really want tegra on this. Nvidia recently showed off the port of android for tegra.

it's already confirmed for the zune hd, amazingly fluid UI; just what hero needs.

"So much better battery life, graphics acceleration. This thing's like a mini laptop in your hand."

Tegra is the first processor Nvidia has built for power-frugal handheld devices, a major departure from the large, power-hungry graphics processors that it sells to the gaming rig and workstation markets.
new cam's awesome btw.

The special characters when holding a key on the keyboard is shown as a feature for the htc but it's in the iPhone since version 1.x So, the htc keyboard functionality is a total copy of the iPhone.

i knew the verdict before watching the videos. in this website, Iphone wins against any other phone. this website should be called IPHONEDOG.COM. in my opinion, in this particular dogfight, the HTC HERO has better staff than the IPHONE.

Haha... Will Noah ever pick a phone besides the iPhone to be the "winner"?!

"I pick iPhone because it does what it is better at, better than the Hero. But what Hero is better at... ahh... nevermind, that doesn't matter. iPhone wins. I wouldn't make a dogfight video if iPhone wasn't going to win! Heck, I wouldn't make a dogfight video if iPhone wasn't in it! That's what everyone wants, right?!" (as his personal iPhone begins to ring in his pocket)

iPhone versus Blackberry... iPhone vs Palm Pre... iPhone vs Hero... as if iPhone is the only device we all compare ourselves to!

When will we see a Hero vs Blackberry Storm or Hero vs Pre? Clearly Noah owns an iPhone as a personal device!

Did someone ever ask Noah for a shout out on one of his reviews before? Just curious

Good set of vids but I have one issue that was not covered and that is bluetooth sync profiles. My old N82 syncs with my xp pc as i approach it, changing contact details and calender updates that I have been changed/added while at meetings or over generally out and about.

How does Android do this? I recently won a Samsung Jet and it's absolutely useless at syncing with my pc, the general interface between the two is maddening. And it is something that I cannot do without.

Great review Noah. Very helpful.

The lag just killed the Hero in my eyes. I don't like to feel like a phone is struggling, and the Hero's lag makes it feel that way. I honestly think that HTC should have not released the Hero until they addressed the lag.

The iPhone is still my fave phone out. I don't see anything that smooth and fun. But I agree they can't rest on their laurels. And they certainly better stop making stupid decisions during their app approving!!
