I have been reading reviews on both phones, while all rave about hero about the potential and how great to handle. However they claim it just lag slightly behind iphone.
HTC claims with software he upgrade Hero would be better.

Now in terms of looks, I think hero trumps over iphone, which I think is pretty but not desirable. Just do not scream out must have. Hero on the other hand have got great feel and touch. But still lagging behind iphone 3gs

which would you choose?

HTC in general make good phones. My last couple of phones were from HTC. Of course its going to lack some. HTC runs the newest smart phone platform, Android. The platform is barly a year old. IPhone had been out at least two years prior and had a majority of its bugs worked out. Google is still making great strides with android.

The strength of the 3G network depends on where you are, not so much the phone you're using at the time. For example, I got good 3g speed full bars standing outside my apartment complex, then I did inside. WWhy? Not because of the phone I had, but because of how my complex can be considered a digital dead zone. I would have had the same problem with a so-called stronger Iphone.

So consider that before complaining that it "lacks" where you are determines how well the conicitivity is going to work for you.

There are a lot of comparison going on between this HTC hero and iphone 3gs, while most would put iphone ahead of hero, I was thinking is the difference really that big a deal. While I look at the reviews I thought Hero is good enough, plus the main factor would be the battery life. Most smartphone battery get drain very quickly.

i am personally going for the htc hero phone myself. yeah i like the iphone, but the hero for some reason is the phone that i really like

While iphone first came out, it was a really wow, this phone looks good, however it have not changed a bit since then, while HTC keep coming up with better looking phones. I must say hero's design really touch the core, I think it has to be the best looking smartphone around. I do not feel like I am carrying a block.

id have to say go wit the eye phone because it has so much power and it has soo many apps you will never get bored of the phone, personally i dont have the phone so i wouldnt kno i just know that the phone can do alot of amazing things its easy to surf the web it can do almost nything you want it to, so go with the eye phone for shure.


myLot reputation of 88/100. iwrite (1508)   ranked 161 out of 6,670 in cell phone  3 years ago

Well dudemanw10,

maybe you should see the review of HTC hero, I bet you never get bored with it. one of the major factors in Iphone's favour is the number of app in the apple app store. Which I wonder how many of the app do I need anyway and once google set on something, don't you think they would start to boost it up. watch out for their market place. in time to come, they would have many more even the apple fans would be drooling over.

My 3G phone is the Helio Ocean, but have you seen the Motorola Droid and what do you think of that one?


myLot reputation of 88/100. iwrite (1508)   ranked 161 out of 6,670 in cell phone  3 years ago

Actually drannhh,

I have not seen the motorola droid, however I did google on it and actually it looks pretty good. the best is that it has a hidden qwerty keyboard. Man I wonder what platform it runs. Do you know they have a function that search by voice. man it is way cool. if I am not wrong it runs on Android.

The only bad thing I doubt it would make it way to Singapore. I still think I am going for hero


myLot reputation of 96/100. drannhh (9931)  3 years ago

That is why it is called Droid, because of the Android, yes. Well, my Ocean is clunky, but I have gotten used to it and hope not to have to replace it any time soon. Good luck in choosing!


myLot reputation of 88/100. iwrite (1508)   ranked 161 out of 6,670 in cell phone  3 years ago

I think it is a big headache to choose, now that you have throw in the motorola droid. But it is rather good looking just I don't think they would bring the phone into Singapore.

If you don't have a lot of credit, are low on money in general go with the HTC hero, it has plenty of features and apps not to mention a 5 mega pixel camera. On the other hand if you have plenty of money and can afford the deposits and monthly bill, go with the iPhone. I love the look of the iPhone and the graphic interface. Its a tough call but if I had to choose and had plenty of money I would go with the iPhone. If you want to take pictures and still save money, and don't really care about style go with the hero. Good luck on deciding!

iphone might look good, however I think the hero is a class above good looking. It is just desire. It makes iphone so looks like something from the 70s. Honestly. By the way hero sprint and hero has different design so we might be talking about two different design.

I think I would be getting hero, I hate it apple keep sending out hardware, then do minor upgrades and you are expected to pay for it.
