Sure u have a bigger screen.. etc but is that worth the price.. to me no.. im enjoying my hero and android to much to jump to another android phone just cause its newer..

Let's compare

Processor
hero = 528mhz
Evo = 1 ghz snapdragon (twice as fast)

Resolution
hero = 320x480 HVGA (weak)
Evo = 480X800 WVGA (sexy)

Screen Size
hero = 3.2"
Evo = 4.3"

Camera
hero = 5 mp no autofocux
Evo = 8mp, LED Flash, AutoFocus, HDMI out, 720p video capture


Those things alone (without 4G) make it such a sweeter device. The processor makes such a huge difference.

Have loved it for nine months now.
Just my opinion.
p.

It's a personal thing. I got my HD2 and within a week I was flashing a custom ROM cuz I just had to have some features (titanium, more tweaks, better build, tethering, etc...)

[QUOTE=orangekid;1759744]Let's compare

Processor
hero = 528mhz <------mine is at 768mhz so m hero is flying..
Evo = 1 ghz snapdragon (twice as fast) <---and next year its gonna be a slow dog,lol

Resolution
hero = 320x480 HVGA (weak) <-----might be weak but it does the job
Evo = 480X800 WVGA (sexy) <------true.....agreed

Screen Size
hero = 3.2" <-----works for me.
Evo = 4.3" <-----true its nice..but not worth 449.00 lol

Camera
hero = 5 mp no autofocux <------hero has the autofocus lol
Evo = 8mp, LED Flash, AutoFocus, HDMI out, 720p video capture<----its a cell cam still only use it for quick shots..nothing more..the video will be 720p but compressed to hell.lol

Its all bout need vs want..lol i dont need the evo.. cause my hero is running strong..

overclocked to 768 mhz,, 16gb sd, app2sd, 3500 mAh extended battery..

my hero will last longer and do 80% of everything the evo can do..on a smaller screen.. and i saved $450.00 bucks.lol but will prolly get the evo around dec for my bday.lol

Well the problem with the snapdragons is their not so impressive GPU..but the hero doesn't even use the GPU so....By December there will be no point in getting the EVO as there will be 2 more 4g phones probably with better specs..maybe the Samsung Galaxy S >.>..now the GPU on that is good.

But as it stands EVO is at least 2x better then a hero

I will still get a evo around dec only cause by then there will be a thousand mods and roms by then..

I dont care to play games that require a gpu on my phone,lol i mean paper toss is bout the only game i play..So in reality my oc'd hero will do all the things i would do on the evo the same.. text, email, facebook, weather radar..etc.. youtube once in a blue moon.. but thats bout it..oh and listen to mp3's or stream last.fm.. so right now 450 bucks save ( for me anyway ) on hype. as my hero will do all those tasks the same as the evo. just on a smaller screen.lol

GPU allows for highdef streaming off youtube..not to mention it helps web pages load faster when using the internet. It is also more energy efficient so more battery life. It also has a keyboard making texting/emailing easier..it also comes out summer so there is plenty of time till December to get mods on it.

Sorry peeps. I didn't consider the fact that this was a comparison between two specific phones... I thought I'd share my experience with my phone and messed with the flow for a minute there. Good to see you all found your way back onto the tracks after I almost derailed the thread.
As you were.
p.
lol.
