I like the Hero better myself. I've used both (and many other phones) and the Hero wins in pretty much every department. Sense is more than just a home screen. It adds multitouch features and a new libraries for widgets, not to mention some software tweaks that improve battery life and responsiveness. The hero SIP is phenominal, but i guess you guys can get a hold of that from somewhere. Overall, the build quality of the Hero is much much higher in my opinion, and the faster processor serves as a placebo on the moment more than anything. The Hero also feels significantly less...."No thats not a brick in my pocket, its a big-ass phone"ish. I also prefer the trackball and physical menu, back, and home buttons. The Hero is also rooted which, to my knowledge, is not possible on the moment. This opens up some awesome possibilities (Like my phone running 2.1 right now) but to each his own, i guess.
