Summary
The HTC Hero is the first phone to be released with HTC Sense, the newest skin for the Google Android Operating System.

It boasts a 3.2-inch HVGA touch screen, and has all the features you’d expect from the best touch screen mobile phones such as full internet access (including flash support), 5-megapixel camera, 3.5mm stereo headset jack and expandable MicroSD Memory.

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!

Love at first sight! This 'phone is superb in every was. Great touch screen, apps galore, standard connectivity (unlike iphone) and ability to upgrade storage (unlike iphone). Only thing that lets the 'phone down is Bluetooth which seems to be hit and miss. Would recommend the Hero to anyone looking for a high end smartphone.- Read Guest's review (55 words)

I have had my HTC Hero since July 28th, at first I was happy and giddy about it, spent a while playing with it and learning how the phone works. I have always been a Nokia brat for the last 10 years, so it was very different. The OS is simple enough and navigation is ok, I love most of the features. I do have a few problems with the phone tho, these are:
Camera is terrible, being 5mp I expectead a lot better, no flash, no backlight, unless its very light, your not getting a picture!! (Nokia bea ...- Read Guest's review (395 words)

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 ...- Read burnaston's review (204 words)

This is a truly shocking phone to use when you consider the competition. I got one thru work and I stuck the sim card in my old SE K850i after a week of using this dreadful piece of equipment. I had simply had enough.
I can only answer around 10% of my calls first time, I usually have to phone back as it does not respon when you press the answer button. The phone simply does what it wants a lot of the time.
Our company has the phones under review already after only 8 weeks...
Good phone, alot of software to get the techie to buy in! WiFi is handy and great for the first week you own the phone, but pretty useless outside your own home where a pc is a little easier.
Sat nav is pretty cool, should be some better software available soon. 3G video callings good!
i thought the Apple iPhone 3G was gunna be the best ever! but i dropped in on by bed and the screen smashed. before that the speakers were not werking proberly , and the camra took ages to take the pic. texting is hard. and internet is slow. i paid $310 for this phone and its rubbish
The iphone's is undoubtedly a good phone but the best feature in my opinion is the accessibility of the internet in terms of speed of connectivity and quality of web pages displayed. The web page expand-reduce functionality is really clever and useful. The only real reservations I have are that if, like me, your fingers are not pencil thin then using the touch screen can be a bit frustrating as the keys are very close together. Also, the camera quality is not that good, but I gather this will...
