Guest's Review of HTC Hero
11th Oct 2009
Overall Rating
- Value for money

Excellent phone. Saw a friends in and had to get one. The latest ROM update has improved performance and it now runs flawlessly. Just sold my Tomtom on eBay as the CoPilot live app (£26 extra) has easily replaced it.
The only negative I've found is the camera is hopeless in low light conditions.
If you're looking for an iPhone but don't want to pay a fortune then go for the Hero - it's not a compromise, I wouldn't swap it for an iPhone now!

Yes I agree that it is an excellent phone. I saw some of my buddies bought this phone and they quite enjoyed its functionality and performance. And yes I think it has a poor sunlight legibility. But this one is almost common it smartphones nowadays.
