I like Android, the development, and all that is going for it; however, I HATE the processor on the Hero. Why did HTC choose to use it?

I love that the Hero has more battery life and just feels like a strong solid device (Pre feels like a plastic toy) and that for now (when not multi-tasking), the Hero feels snappier when moving between apps. When I went back to Pre before (I had tried the Hero one time and decided I would stay with it later) it just felt like I took a step backwards compared to Android OS. But it also felt a little snappier because of the processor.

Here is my question: Should I hold out for 2.1 and pray that it speeds things up, or should I just drop the Hero and wait for a stronger Android device on Sprint? (I will NOT take the Moment, even with the 800 mhz processor.....that thing looks ugly and just doesn't feel as nice as the Hero). I know software can only take a device so far vs. hardware specs......

I just don't know what to do.....

I think you should take your Pre and your Hero and rub them together, maybe they'll produce a PALMDROID with a 1500mhz processor and everythign you want in a phone/device. You can call it the PRERO!
