How do they compare size-wise?
I know they are primarily the same hardware, but I've never seen the Hero up close.


Anyhow, I've done a 2 things to help with battery so far.

1) Turned off Latitude (I didn't realize that the location service still runs even if you close Google-maps), this helped A LOT.

2) Dialed down my messaging syncing to once every 30 minutes. (Granted, I'd like real-time, but do I "need" it?)
