Votre avis :

Software wise there is very little different between the HTC Hero released in Europe and the HTC bound for American soil (check out our Euro HTC Hero review for more on the UI). Where the difference appears is in the hardware and cosmetic design of the handset.



The lack of chin will be off-putting to some, but you'll get over. For some the button configuration may even be better.



Yes, the Sprint version "sans" chin does lose some of its character making it look like just an "a n other" smartphone. However with the customisable open Android OS and a user interface that is in no way " Apple" this, like the original version, is a great handset.



Where it succeeds is in its ability to zip through menu systems, run applications simultaneously and offer a smartphone experience that still has plenty of growth, including that Android 1.6 update expected soon.



For the non Apple or Palm believers, this is one to strongly consider.

The perfect phone for social butterflies and the first serious iPhone rival weâ€â„¢ve seen

Sprint’s first Android device is one of the best touchscreen smart phones on any network.

A hugely likeable phone that excels at web browsing and manages to just live up to its ambitious name. However, a couple of quirks prevent us giving it an all-out recommendation.

It's the Hero's sheer ease-of-use that warrants its iPhone botherer status

The HTC Hero is truly a superb phone and a real competitor to the iPhone range. The addition of multitouch, the flawed but still useful Flash support, plus the excellent HTC widgets make it a joy to use and place it significantly ahead of any previous Android phone.



The G1 may have got Android off to a slow start, but the Hero shows that it's now fully up to speed. Make no mistake, the Hero really is a fabulous phone and its price is very attractive compared to the expensive iPhone 3GS.

The HTC Hero is without doubt one of the most impressive smartphones we've reviewed. The design is distinctive, the user interface is absolutely superb and it's packed with all the latest features. Unfortunately, the Hero doesn't seem to have the hardware needed to keep up with its innovative software, resulting in a sometimes slow and frustrating user experience. It remains a superb phone that is really only let down by slow performance.

Overall the Hero lives up to it's name: it's an easy to use device that out-of-box delivers much of the connected experience that other phones will have you scrabbling around to find apps for. Tying together contacts with your social networks is great and brings a sense of completeness.

We love the design and the build too, and the flexibility of an open source operating system like Android excites us: the community is there, making applications to enhance the experience so the phone can give that seamless integrated experience.

It's not perfect and it's the room for improvement that really excites: you know the Hero can get better, and with a few software tweaks no less. We've waited a long time for a smartphone to be confident about challenging the iPhone as number one, and finally the HTC Hero arrives as a viable contender.
