I Just picked up the new Hero, replacing my mogul. I was using the newest version of opera on the mogul and it was good but I have to say I the Hero web software is great. theres no way I would ever want to go back.

I agree with you and I also take my ipod touch everywhere just to surf the web. I want to multitask, surf the web and not have many devices with me so that's why I think the N900 will satisfied my needs. In addition the camera is great so I will be replacing my phone/laptop/camera for daily on the go use. I think the successor of the N900 will be great for the mass consumers of smart phones but for now this is as good as it gets. Hopefuly the web browser will be just as good as my touch otherwise it's going back.

Hello All, I have a...possibly, simple question.

I currently own the Sprint Touch Pro. I love the phone but recently the hard keyboard stopped responding. Obviously this was a problem. I ended up getting a new one but now this one is having little annoying problems. I am looking to buy a new phone. I'm looking at either the HTC Hero or the HTC Touch Pro 2.

I want the Touch Pro 2 because of the keyboard and because I LOVE installing new ROMs, tweaking it and etc. I have NO idea if you could even do that with the Hero since it runs with Android and not WM. Anyone know?

Anyways, what would YOU suggest? The main thing holding me back from the Touch Pro 2 is the price. Hero is so cheap!!!

played with a hero today at the store and i do have to say the web browsing was better than what i have on my diamond. went to a few websites i normally travel to and it was quicker loading than i have ever done with the diamond. Now compared to the TP2 i wasn't able to play with that so i can't compare to that. But needless to say the tp2 isn't internally much different than that of the diamond so i would go with the hero.

if price is the only thing, and your keyboard on the touch pro is giving out, and if the sprint upgrading touch pros to touch pro 2 is true,

you might just want to go with the TP2

would be cheaper that way.

I did see this already and tried it. Instead of getting the TP2, they gave me a brand new Touch Pro. I asked for TP2 in exchange and said they could do it if they weren't on Back Order, they also explained that they didn't know when they would have them in again. So still the Touch Pro 2?

Keep trying for the TP2..... if you don't like it, then go the Hero route.

I think I will call back tomorrow but they said Saint Louis won't have TP2's in AT ALL in stores until the new year, and that they will only order them if you are straight out buying it, they will not order one for an exchange.
