HTC Hero review: Born to rise

06 August 2009
In the beginning there was G1 as the frontline trooper, the expendable GI. Elsewhere, in the HTC discourse, it was hope and vision. Well, it seems the dreamer’s Dream is coming true and someone there is really proud with what...

      Maybe its a little bit offtopic, but I just have to say it, because its kind of bugging me and I'm so tired of hearing so much of the Sense UI's hype.
      MY QUESTION: Isn't Sense a lot laggier/ slower than the basic Vanilla UI? Is it an upgrade or downgrade? Just look at the videos on Youtube. I admit it, its pretty but so does Vanilla. So what's so amazing about it...

      I have an iPhone 3G and I'm considering moving to Android with this particular devide. You Apple fanboys don't get me wrong here, iPhone still rocks but its a little bit boring now, and Apple did a bad job with 3GS since (In my point of view) it does bring nothing else but a faster processor, video, compass and they are all nice things but to my its not worth the upgrade. Apple WTF, where's the 5mpx camera with flash and the front facing camera??
      I know Galaxy doesn't have the front facing camera, but I'm getting more and more curious with Android, with its Google services integrated, multitasking etc.

      Please If you're a G1/ Magic etc. (Vanilla UI devices) owner could you comment if you agree/ disagree with me on the laggy Sense UI.

      Sorry about my english, I'm Finnish and I hate Nokia. lol peace out.

        i disagree with the audio quality test. In fact, using iphone3GS as a standard is not appropriate. Audio quality from iphone3GS and ipod touch2 are not decent at all. Sorry to say but the result on audio quality is a bit misleading to our readers.
