burnaston's Review of HTC Hero

WOW! Was a bit gutted that I couldn't get an iPhone because I'm stuck on Orange, but they offered me the HTC Hero for an upgrade instead. They said it was the closest one at the moment, and it is AMAZING!
The touchscreen is just as clear and responsive as the iPhone, and the Hero is so easy to use. The homescreen has different pages, so one swipe to the left or right can let you update Facebook, send a message on Twitter or even check out the weather (well useful these days!). The web browsing is really good, and all the sites that use Flash can work on it!
It is much smaller than I thought it would be, and all my fears for having a touch phone were totally gone as soon as I had played with it for a couple of days!
I can even get my work e-mails from my Exchange account on there, and I can download cool apps!
Only problems are that the battery doesn't last too long, and the shape is a bit funny at first, but I'm used to it now.
The HTC Hero is awesome, and has made me forget all about THAT Apple phone!
