The editors didn't like
Sluggish speeds
Poor camera
Lackluster multimedia performance
Could use beefier processor
Not on AT&T but I am
Some key productivity apps still missing from Android Marketplace
Sluggish at times
Flash video is dodgy
No easy way to back up and restore
Button and menu overkill.
Some bugs. Slow Internet speeds. Lousy camera.
No camera flash
Lackluster camcorder
Still running Android 1.5
Same CPU as the Magic/myTouch 3G
Camera not much of an upgrade
Flash support somewhat oversold
Expensive on Sprint.
RAM/processor duo are a bit tired in tomorrow's market
Though not as bad as many claim
Keyboard performance seems to break down long before other apps show signs of distress
And the keyboard should be prioritized

You need to go without the Sense extras for a snappy experience
My browsing experience on EDGE was very slow (issue for running on unsupported carriers)
Video camera isnt even worth using
Some people hate the chin and asymmetrical button layout.
Needs a reboot every 3 days to keep things speedy.
Camera can’t capture night or motion shots
Phone may slow down when storage fills up.Look and Feel...
SD slot is only accessible by removing cover. This Hero has Flash
But how about a camera with a flash? Optional haptic feedback is about as subtle as a 6.5 earthquake. Lack of image stabilization produces videos reminiscent of Cloverfield. 340 x 280 vide
The smartphone can occasionally be sluggish. Flash content didnt always work from the Web browser. Apps must still be downloaded to the phones internal memory. Media syncing software would nice
As would be a file manager.

No flash
Sluggish operation
Confusing USB connectivity
Short battery life (4 hrs. talk)

Abstract: HTC Hero kan genkendes på sit særlige knæk nederst på telefonen. Klik for større billede. Placeret sammen med en HTC Touch Diamond2, iPhone 3GS, HTC Hero og Nokia N97 er knækket tydeligere. Klik for større billede. Har du købt nok nyt it, så er du nok ...
Hero er en bedre telefon end Magic - punktum. Så kort kan det faktisk siges, men der er nu en smule mere i det end bare det. Hardwaren er kun meget lidt forbedret i forhold til forgængeren Magic. Der er kommet et 5 Mpixel kamera, der kun er lidt...
HTC Hero ER et skridt frem - brugerinterfacet HTC Sense er total lækkert, og VGA-skærmen giver en god oplevelse.Alligevel ender vores vurdering på 3-4 stjerner ud af seks mulige.Grundlæggende er HTC Hero et godt produkt, men bugs i sof...
Abstract: DA HTC FOR ikke så langt tid siden i London præsenterede den nye HTC Hero, havde vores eufori for den nye HTC Magic dårlig nok lagt sig; og allerede nu en efterfølger? Ja, den er god nok. HTC bringer nu en slags efterfølger til HTC Magic på gaden, men ...
Abstract: Od pierwszego spojrzenia i dotyku można się tym telefonem albo zachwycić albo go znielubić. Kształt obudowy jest znajomy, ponieważ stylistyką wykonania Hero nie odbiega od znanego już G1 Dream – ten sam profil wygięty ergonomicznie u dołu telefonu, bardz...
Każdy super bohater posiada swoich zwolenników jak i przeciwników. Osobiście nie znalazłem się ani w jednej ani w drugiej grupie. Sam telefon nie wyróżnia się niczym szczególnym w stosunku do konkurencyjnych produktów, ale też nie ustępuje posiadanymi ...
