Just got back from the Sprint store to play with the HTC Hero. Here are my first impressions... This is brief since I didn't have much time...

The phone did not have a significant lag as many have mentioned but there is a noticeable 3-5 second delay when opening apps. Also I noticed that the screen would turn off extremely fast. It could be a settings issue but I did not have time to go through it. However, flipping through the homescreen was very fluid as many video reviews have shown. Sense UI was impressive but I would put it slightly above TF3D 2.0. The keyboard in portrait was not as accurate as I had hoped. I kept mistyping the words but perhaps with practice it will get better. The resolution on the screen was impressive, and I want to say it is similar to the TP2.

That is all I have. Thanks.
