"Like I said, HTC’s achievements and innovations aren’t anything to dismiss, they are what to me makes Android usable, but with the current hardware powering the HTC Hero, things become murky and frustrating."

"What we are saying is that this build is a bit too much for a device like the Hero to handle, and that makes for an uneven, sometimes frustrating experience."

Battery apparently sucks too:
"Add in 3G and some real heavy use and we don’t think you’ll be too pleased with the battery staying power."


My TP2 is good for both performance and battery.

Apparently most of those complaints have been fixed:

Although I don't have one, so I can't comment directly. I was thinking about getting a Hero myself, but in the end the TP2 won out for me because of customization and the fact that Verizon probably won't get an Android phone for a while.
