Telus HTC Hero Review

http://www.rgbfilter.com/favicon.ico from rgbFilter - Jan 05, 2010

I personally found the Hero a perfect marriage of form and function, and with my usage, which is mostly heavy data and app usage, I didn’t experience any slowdowns. As Doug says, with the phone $79.99 on a Telus 3 year contract, the Hero is the best Android device Canadians can buy today, and in my opinion the best overall phone that Telus currently offers.

Sprint Hero Review: Faster, Stronger, Uglier - Sprint htc hero review - Gizmodo

http://gizmodo.com/favicon.ico from Gizmodo - Sep 17, 2009

The princess might not kiss this Hero because it's kinda ugly, but at least it'll actually get the job done now. If you've been waiting for an Android phone not on T-Mobile, or one that's finally just about ready for primetime, this is it.

A combination of good design and a fully customizable user interface make the Hero a great smartphone. A boon for the Android platform still in its infancy.

HTC Hero review from TechRadar UK's expert reviews of Mobile phones

from Tech Radar - Jul 20, 2009

"There's a lot to like about the HTC Hero. A lot. Be it the multiple homescreens, the option to change scenes to suit the time of day, the Facebook integration or even the responsive touchscreen." "However, there were lows, and some of them were pretty deep indeed. The 528MHz processor doesn't seem to be grunty enough to power all the multi-tasking the phone needs to do. Coverflow in the music player, updating weather or Twitter or simply skimming through larger web pages brought the phone to a halt, and on occasion, crashed it completely."

HTC Hero mobile phone review

http://pocket-lint.com/favicon.ico from Pocket-Lint - Jul 21, 2009

Pocket Lint has a review of the HTC Hero, below is a section of their verdict. We love the design and the build too, and the flexibility of an open source operating system like Android excites us: the community is there, making applications to enhance the experience so the phone can give that seamless integrated experience.
