Re: Is it still worth it to get a Hero now?

To be honest, I don't need a super multimedia phone like most new phones are. I probably use my phones most for web surfing, either during my commute to and from work, while in the toilet, etc. lol I rarely even make phone calls.

If the Hero is a good platform for web browsing, then that's perfect for me.

Also, I went to a Sprint store to check out the Evo and Hero in person and I personally like the size and feel of the Hero in my hand compared to the Evo which is a bit oversized.

Thanks for all the helpful replies so far in this thread.
Screen size aside the 1ghz processor helps a lot at surfing the web actually :/

If the EVO is too big for you, you can try the Epic, it is a bit fatter due to the keyboard but smaller in size horizontally.

IDk to say if web will render faster on a Hero over a moto Q9c...mostly since the browser is better on Android so it would render some elements that your old phone would not thus slowing down load times.

But with sprint you got 30 days so you can take out a Hero and if it does not meet your criteria return it.
