battery life..( u def need the seidio extended battery ) unless u want to be tied to the charger..
and lack of apps and games..< im sure that will change over time.. but right now... i need more options..
now android .. plenty of apps. the hero rocks.. built way better than the pre.. feels good in hand..( gonna get the seidio 3500 mah extended battery though.. I need some more weight on my phone.. plus batt life.. lol )
once webos takes off.. in the dev dept.. and start getting more apps and games that utilize the power webos things will change.. and hope the pre 2 or whatever it will be called is better built..
but for now.. im toying with the hero..so far i love it..

I have similar thoughts. I came from WM(Touch Pro, Palm Pro, TP2) and PalmOS originally.
I started with the Hero for about 2 weeks, picked up a Pre and used for 2 weeks to try them both fairly.
I really wanted the Pre to be my phone after all was said and done. But I am glad that I went Hero then Pre.
The Android OS is more established so it has a ton more apps. I always felt like I was missing something while using the Pre.
I love how the WebOS flows no doubt, and leaving an app open while checking on something else without having to shut anything down is awesome. I hope that it will be possible for Android to do this someday.
The Pre's build quality could definitely be improved but didn't bother me as much as others. The Hero build feels solid with enough weight so not feel like a toy. I think that HTC's Sence UI improves on the Android vanilla UI.
But, overall I think the apps really make the AndroidOS the phone I will use for the foreseeable future. I hope that Sprint will have an HTC Android phone that looks similar to the HD2 and the Snapdragon processor sometime this year.
