HTC Hero
Gadget Of The Week: 31st July 2009
What: Billed as the iPhone killer.
Availablility: Available on Orange
We Like
Good construction
Great 5MP camera, plus records video
Works with Flash, which the iPhone doesn’t
Pinch and stretch technology as used on iPhone
We Don't Like
Banana-shaped, which could be prone to snapping if people put them in their back pockets.
Sluggish
Poor menu system
A decent phone, but a touch slow. Not the iPhone killer it wants to be.
