        I have had my Hero for more than 2 weeks now and I love it. It is really cool. Some flaws of course but I can live them, no problme. Compared to my BB Curve and numerous Nokia phones this is awesome. I haven't owned an iPhone, but from what I can tell, after trying my friends iPhone, is that I like the Hero better because of how the UI is set up. It's very different from what I was used to but after a week I was diggin' it. It's smaller too which I like eventhough the screen is smaller....I don't need it any bigger. the bend is actually really handy when texting one handed. Qwerty T9 is AWESOME. SOOOOO much better than the iPhone.

            Hi Tim
            I have the HTC hero on T-mobile and the internet is fast on it, knowing that i have iphone 3gs too. Its on hsdpa most of the time and shows the H symbol on the top.
            I think the new Rom is coming out in October.
            I have screen lag too, but i would advise u to download "advanced task manager" from the android market place which turns off unnesscary tasks on the phone and makes it run faster and frees more ram.
            check this video for the new rom to come out:

            Kind regards
            Dr

              i have the hero and even though i am impressed with it and especially like the sense ui on it it is not without its faults. mostly i experiance alot of lag on the phone. this is mostly with txts, scrolling between my home screens and also the clock. another thing is i am orange at the moment and the internet is very slow. i have had an iphone and got a hero expecting the internet to be faster with it being a google phone, but havnt found this to be the case.
              i hope these get sorted out with the firmware upgrade. does anyone have any idea when the firmwares coming out? i really want these to be fixed so i can tell everyone how great my hero is!

                        well this is how phones should be made. awesome looking hi-tech. and having killer apps on board. hopefully they will make some better colours. piano black and white would be great.

                        well done HTC.

                              Link above is a video of all the top smart phones this year. Which colors where more too, but 64K is OK. Maybe HTC Hero 2 will be 16k, maybe.
