Hello dear readers,
I've recently purchased a shiny new HTC Hero. It is a nice phone. It runs the Android OS.
My first impression is that it works very nicely. The Android apps are less polished than those I've played with on the iPhone, but the design of the OS seems nicer -- there is more opportunity to replace parts of the system and customise.
The HTC apps appear more polished than the default Android versions, but it still isn't quite as nice as the iPhone for end users. For tinkerers, the android phone wins I think.
