  1. Have you considered Android Ali? Pretty similar to iPhone but its more open and doesn't need to be shut into any software like itunes. There's also a mass (and quickly increasing) number of apps available in the built in app store. The interface is highly modern and customizable (more than the iPhone) and the platform is only going to improve as more and more developers get on board. I've been using the HTC hero for around 2 months now and cannot recommend it enough.

    Actually, I have, but I wasn't sure if it is the right time, if it has the right platform yet. So is hero good? What's the best out there?

    The time is perfect and the Hero is the one. It was launched with 1.5 and is getting upgraded to 2.1 which makes it the most updated Android handset.

    Looks good. Gerard, you've worked with iPhone or iTouch, right? Anything on those that you miss on the Hero?
    Actually the good thing about HTC is that it is imported properly here, so the whole importing personally scenario will be unnecessary, and it's got good warranty companies here as well.
  5. ow my God, I love this thing
    Actually, I wished I could find anything other than the iPhone that would be as good. Because these days everyone has an iPhone here, there is no unique-ness to it. But the Hero...looks good, has the same abilities + better camera and better looks and maybe other stuff I don't know yet. And it's an Android Thanks for pointing it out Gerard. I'll have a better look at it and see if it really is as good as it sounds. What do you think Drew?
    And by the way, it's price here is half iPhone's price

    I think if you like and want something better and less restricted the Hero is the way to go. I was considering getting one originally but it wasn't out in Australia when I was up for buying a new phone, so hell go for it and enjoy it I say.

    Speaking of which I might just get one if Three have them.
  7. What about the N900 or HTC HD2?

    Thinking of getting one of those myself.


  8. The HD2 is Windows apparently, Hero is Android, and I'm done with Nokia, tho these are my preferences, nothing wrong with the phones...
  9. HD2 is the first phone that will get a Windows 7 update in the future and the Nokia N900 runs on Maemo (based on Debian linux).

    But its a personal thing Hero is a good choice as well

    Yep. Didn't know about the Debian thing on Nokia, that could end up well. I'm not so keen on Windows Mobile tho. It's not that good on the laptop, I can't imagine how much better it can get on a phone.

    I had an ipod touch for a lot of months and the only thing I miss is a game or 2 (and it wont be long before they pop up on Android anyway). It's just a solid phone running a platform that is great already but has so much more potential. Also runs on multiple devices rather than just the one like iPhone, but I do recommend the hero because of HTC's highly customizable Sense UI.


  12. I'm skipping the N900. It's a guniea pig device. Within 6 months we will have the first Maemo 6 device with capacitive screen and multi touch etc. The N900 is a developer tool and for uber tech fiddlers. Right up your street.
