-Camcorder (720p recording, vs 640 x 480) <-----not impressed htc compressed the hell out of it. so still not a reason to get it..
-Screen Resolution (480 x 800 vs 320 x 480) ---------<---another positive.
-Will be officially updated to Froyo (hero may get custom roms from XDA/PPCGeeks, but chances of anything official are slim) -----<------good luck on that one. xmas next si when sprint and htc will have that update out.lol

I'm loving my hero on fresh toast. I'll still get an evo, and give my fiancee the OC'd hero. The question was what made the evo better than the hero, and those would be the differences(some could be negatives, like the size of the device, due to the 4.3" screen...) of the stock hero, vs a stock evo. When you get into the world of rooting....everything goes out the window. But, once the evo is rooted, oc'ing is a possibility, and it will raise the bar, so to speak. You just need to decide whether the cost of ownership is worth it. For me, it is. For others, I cannot decide, nor can I say their decision is wrong.
Edit: The internet will be slower on the hero vs the evo, even using the same connection (3g on both, or wifi on both). While the packets will be downloaded at the same speed, the faster processor on the evo will render those packets faster, and display them on the screen faster than the hero. There is a post about that on this forum, or androidforums.com (can't remember which).
