Review: HTC Hero

Review: HTC Hero

First of all say that I do not like touch sites. I have a LG KC780 for my number current that pisses me off to die to dial numbers on a virtual keyboard, especially when I like to watch the phone.

And with all this, Hero’s captured me from the first moment (which iPhone, for example, did not). Starting from as strange and continuing with the phone that is Linux, so you can rotate and do what you want on it.

Okay, to clarify the situation: I use HTC’s more like a PC (stand on Twitter, on the net, etc..) Rarely talk to him. So I usually watch are stopped and when you use your phone. So I need to feel the finger keys.

I like the virtual keyboard, I feel okay with it already (Midget ask me how I write so easily on the narrow, but just seems wrong). Not a keyboard you try to write a blog post (as was that of the HTC Touch Pro 2, or even the Nokia N97), but certainly it does its job well.

Applications:

The most important thing in this sort of phone is the applications available. That idea, I have a UK number that you can use to buy the Market (although you can take your applications directly on the net without problems).

Well, here there is a store applications, like I said (like iPhone or Nokia), called Market, but not as rich as the iPhone. The difference is that most applications are free, even some who are paid on the iPhone (Shazam is one of those where I think). On the other hand, their quality is rather low (from what I saw), and the games are weak compared with the iPhone or Windows Mobile games (I saw Syberia 2 on WM and seemed to me super hard).

Say they are weak because quality is not so high and competition is full of all kind of freak, so how should you find something about your veins. The best solution is to search the net first and then you need to go directly.

The quality is particularly evident in the case of games, which are significantly lower, like I said, before the iPhone and WM. I understand that this is due to a more strange to call applications, but I did not go into details as you say why and how.

I use applications such as Notes, Notes Everything (kind of post it for text, audio and graphics), Twidroid PRO (has multi-account – although the figures began about the last update), Seesmic (because of bad Twidroid by last update), facebook for Android, etc.. Another advantage is that solutions are good enough for Google suite (Docs, Analytics, Gmail), you use more, including office – because I work in several places and I want to be able to access information from anywhere .

What little I like is that sometimes, when you use many applications at once (which are in the background) starts making bad, go slow and even hang. It happens rarely, but sometimes is annoying (Twidroid has contributed to that lately).

Photo Camera:

The camera is pretty good (5MP), but not so flash, so it’s pretty difficult to take pictures from inside. On the outside are very interesting (all pictures in directory on Facebook Mobile Uploads are made with Hero) and they share the possibility of very fast – by Twidroid for Twitter, Facebook, Gmail …

Small things that I like:

- Has the Google search button directly on the phone, not on the screen.
- Code block is actually a pattern that you create a series of points related
- As strange is that even quite ergonomic (when you hold in your hand is supporting the little finger)
- Has 7 screens that can put on homepage

As a conclusion: I like the phone much. It’s very natural to use, it does its job well. If not white, I would enjoy more, but as the world around says it looks very good, I begin to adapt, too.
