Pro, it works without lockup, unlike my WinMo phone that wouldn't even let me answer incoming calls at times.

Before you get flamed, please, and i am saying please, search!

This has been asked over and over again and if you look at the sticky section, there is a thread called "Hero Reviews".

Pros: Applications up the Wazzoo, wont freeze up like WinMo, scenes, trackball, 5.0 mega pixel cam, WiFi, many more.
Cons: Browser a tad slow, must download an app killer to close apps that run in background, no flash player, some apps from WinMo not yet Android ready (but coming soon).
It's a Great phone, so don't let the cons keep you from buying.

1) It is completely unnecessary to kill backgrounded apps. Android allocates memory to programs based on current usage, so background apps don't interfere at all.

2)The hero has flash support. In the stock browser, go to a page that has flash ads. They work. Also, it has a streaming media player specifically for flash.

Flash DOES NOT WORK after Sprint updated the firmware and neither does Youtube.

Really?? Youre just gonna run around and thread crap? Outstanding, im glad we are losing someone like you. Go crap in the Pre threads, it came standard when they opened the forums for it.

You should probably tell my browser or my youtube app. They don't seem to know that yet.

Edit:Also, yes, if you like inferior devices, the pre is for you.
