Have No Fear, The Hero Is Here
Having had the HTC Hero for over a week now, I think it’s time I put my final verdict on the handset in writing.

That is quite a feat in itself.
Although I did put my views on it’s camera performance already, that was actually the only major negative I could find on the handset itself.

The trackball is useful when scrolling and reading documents, although I still found myself using the touch-screen. Never actually got use to the trackball, but those who prefer it will enjoy it.Read More »Have No Fear, The Hero Is Here
