htc hero first impressions

[prmobhero]

Hi All

I`ve had this handset for about a week. I`m overall fairly happy with it, feels a nice size, responsive interface, good apps and it fits in the pocket better than an iphone.

But I have a few grumbles about it which is making me think about returning it and waiting for something else to come along. Bare in mind I`m coming from a 3 year old phone so this is quite a leap in tech. But...

1.Almost every time I scroll down my contacts I inadvertently tap one and it starts calling them. Is there a way to setup a double tap to call? This is really annoying.

2. I keep getting errors when using the web browser and flash.

3. One reason for buying the phone was for reading pdf ebooks. For this it seems ridiculously slow, having to watch the page draw takes about 30 seconds.

4. I got an TaskKiller and I`ve noticed tasks starting by themselves. For example I rebooted only to see shopsavvy was running in the background!?

5. The camera and especially the camcorder are a disappointment. The camera feels very slow, even worse in low light. The quality of the camcorder image also looks overly compressed.

6. The weather app on the front clock never finds the weather in my town even though it gives the name correctly.

Any suggestions.
I really want to keep the phone, but these niggles are really making me think about returning it,maybe for the hd2 which seems to have a faster processor, albeit with windows mobile

Thanks

Paul
