The HTC Hero is without doubt one of the most impressive smartphones we've reviewed. The design is distinctive, the user interface is absolutely superb and it's packed with all the latest features. Unfortunately, the Hero doesn't seem to have the hard...
Abstract: After a thorough software walkthrough by Chris Leckness, it’s time to see how the HTC Hero fairs on the daily basis. Expect a solid run-through of this handset as I happily set aside my AT&T Tilt for a week, sorry WinMo, in favor of seeing how the Andr...

Abstract: Sprint subscribers/Apple haters, rejoice. Your Hero, literally and figuratively, has — or will — arrive Oct. 11. It's not perfect, but, as modern interpretations of Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Wolverine, et al. have lately illustrated, what hero is? ...
It will be hard not to gush here, because I really have enjoyed using the HTC Hero over the past couple of weeks. Everything just works, and is highly customizable, which is a real plus. It may sound like a small thing, but the customizable panels on ...
Abstract: In this past week’s newsletter I wrote up my first impressions of the HTC Hero from Sprint. I had previously been putting an unlocked HTC Hero (provided by PureMobile) to the test, which amazed me in the first 10 minutes of use by letting me connect to...
