  • Design discutable, gestion du Flash encore perfectible, autonomie encore insuffisante, parfois des ralentissements dans lexécution des taches.
  • Le HTC Hero semble se positionner comme le concurrent le plus proche de l’iPhone 3GS. Ecran tactile en verre et capacitif, multitouch avec le zoom à deux doigts, le HTC Hero se paye même le luxe de gérer le Flash et Push Exch...

  • I tasti di scelta e la trackball sono un po troppo piccoli e alcuni con dita un po grandi non potrebbero avere vita facile con essi. Lo spazio totale per immagazzinare contenuti multimediali, allacquisto di soli 2,5 GB
  • HTC Hero segna un nuovo passo nello sviluppo degli smartphone basati su Android. Linterfaccia Sense è sicuramente un nuovo capitolo per questi prodotti che si avvicinano ancora di più, a livello di funzionalità e usabilità, agli iPhone...
