A MINI REVIEW FOR HTC HERO OK fellows i got my hero few days back , decided to write a small review for people who want to know a bit about this handset 1) Built the built quality of this handset is amazing its light weight , as compared to touch pro , touchpro 2 and palm pre its solid candybar form factor and matt finish on back cover give it a solid grip no creaks or squeaks the trackball is slightly raised but nonetheless is bigger in size and very comfortable to use the 4 keys ( menu. back. home .search ) are flushed with surface , though tactile enough but still i have my concerns over long term use There is an ambient light sensor and an led indicator for notifications 2) Screen the screen is gorgeous 3.2 inch 320x480 resolution its sharp and looks awesome its capacitance which means using it is much easier and smooth as compared to ur windows devices which needed stylus every now and then 3) ANDROID This phone runs android 1.5 cupcake , but soon in few days eclair is gonna be out there are 7 homecsreens loaded with beautiful widgets all goodies of android is there full google services ( gmail, gtalk,google voice ) One plus point in sprint hero is that there is support for yahoo mail ( free ) on non sprint networks which wasnt there on other handsets 4) Battery the phone comes with 1500mah battery even with heavy usage ( data on ) shud go for 1.5/2 days and without data will last for 2 3 days overall a satisfied battery life 5) Performance performance wise hero is fast its faster than gsm version of hero call quality is good Also the irritating area notifications occur less frequently than in other phones no network issues 6) Data connectivity there is a full 1x capability of hero on reliance u get push gmail ,gtalk there is wifi on board though i have always seen that wifi sensitivity of android devices is less 7) Multimedia & Camera htc hero comes with 3.5mm adapter which means u can plug in ur favourite headsets the audio quality is good enough CAMERA IS 5MP lol , did we think we wud be using 5mp device on reliance ....hell ya the camera lacks flash , so that means night time its a no no but overall the camera clearity is good in day light or in proeprly lit places pretty satisfactory pics in daytime 8) GPS it comes with agps support , quick satellite locks in 1-5 mins u have got google maps to use with it if u need offline navigation u can use the s/ws NDRIVE &SYGIC which i have posted on this forum 9) Hacks since its android so its open to lot of hacks u can install lot of cracked apps watch for my new posts in next few days i will be posting lot of cracked apps also u can load custom roms without any hassles ON A NOTE I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE ABOUT THE ONSCREEN KEYBAORD FOR TYPING since its complete touch device yping would be an issue but not in hero u have smooth typing experince on hero u can use the keyboard in both protrait and landscape mode SOME COMPARISON SHOTS WITH OTHER PHONES

Isnt this the only dual SIM cdma handset with a full qwerty keypad? Or are there others? MR. Hitesh You might be Ritchie Rich to afford Such Stuff of Blackberry But G-Fone 588 is for those who cant afford BlackBerry n Quite Comprmise with Quality Just for CDMA+GSM and Looks of it.
