HTC Hero user reviews

Caitlin Brodie 8 May 2011

Good: Android Market - apps for just about everything and mostly free!

Bad: Camera Quality and Battery Life Depletion

Comment: I bought this phone in October 2009 on a 2 year contract and I can honestly say I dont regret that at all, this phone is one of the most robust and functional phones around. I love how the home screen can be customised to suit you and I think this is general idea around the whole phone - to make everything about you. Email, Facebook and Twitter are really good and texting is also good although you have to delete your texts periodically otherwise the phone becomes a bit slow, for those who despair at the thought of losing all your messages there are many apps that back up your texts online so you always have them just not necessarily on the phone. The pure range of applications and games that are available leave you with endless possibilities so theres no scope for boredom. The music player on the phone is good although the shuffle feature is a little dodgy but nothing too major. The calendar app is also good for keeping me organised as well as applications such as Springpad which keeps all my lists and notes together. The only major downside to the phone is the battery life - when I first got the phone the battery lasted around 2 days, now it lasts just 1 but you can buy a replacement and also im assuming this is because I've charged it everyday for the past one and a half years. All in all this is an amazing phone and im definitely an Android convert, the thought of an iPhone interface instead of the Android one brings a tear to my eyes and I will definitely be buying another Android when my contract runs out.

Good: Amazing quality camera, fantastic settings, brilliant homescreen

Bad: Tends to crash easily and without warning

Comment: What a fantastic phone! Personally, I think that this has given the iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy S a run for their money. Its capacitive touchscreen, fantastic camera and great variety of apps free to download make this a leading smartphone, in my opinion. Although this hasn't yet wowed the critics, compared to other smartphones, like the Google Nexus One, I think considering the price its extremely good value for money.
Good job HTC!

Good: Great looking, Sence UI, Battery Life, Screen Quality, and Phone Functions!!

Bad: No Arabic Support, Bad Camera and no flash!!

Comment: I almost like everything about the HERO, except for what I mentioned above.

It is very fun to use, has very attractive look, very practical smart phone, and amazing looking Sense GUI. I even compared it to iPhone 3GS side by side, and I am 100% confident that it is much much better than iPhone 3GS!! In fact, I think the iPhone is very boring, and unpractical smart phone comparing to Hero epically in term of customizability!

By the way, I found the phone to be very responsive, and not as laggy as reviews suggest!!

The only thing I like about iPhone is its native Arabic support, and nothing more!!


Kind regards,

Good: Android 2.1, Interface, Loads of apps, 3.5mm stereo jack

Bad: Can be slow, screen could be a bit bigger, No EQ for audio

Comment: Great phone overall, but REALLY needs an equalizer for audio and could do with being a bit quicker.
