The bad: QWERTY keypad needs improvement; no 3.5mm audio jack; camera lacks flash; battery life not great.
The bottom line: The new Android 1.5 software adds quite a number of features to this smartphone compared with the Dream, but HTC needs to iron out a few niggles to make it better.

This babe really a Magic!!
Jul 12, 2009Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: background notifications, battery (requires charging every 1.5day with usage on phone talks, wifi & gprs), free apps (tons of it.. Good n Useless), lightweight and good hand feel
Cons: touch sensitive comes 2nd to iPhone (sluggish at times).. hopefully will be able to be better with new release Andriod update... bad multimedia especially playing videos, get too much latency and jittery play back
Opinion:
If Google works more on getting the touch sensitive better performs... this will be a fight with iPhone.
But with the new HTC Sense UI rumored to be available to all HTC branded one... things will be exciting.. check out how HTC Hero Sense UI works ---> Just like what Palm Pre is promoting "Synergy"!!! Coolz
Still a lot of other choice out there

Pros: It is jst average
Cons: Too expensive
Opinion:
If both hardware and software makers want to make this new platform popular, they should be making it reasonably priced.
You can buy top notch handsets with the same money frm existing platforms.
awesome device
