What is it:
Touchscreen Android smartphone
Typical price:
£400
We like:
Epic customisability; well-designed home screen widgets with live updates; easy-to-use keyboard; convenient Android Market for apps; multitouch capability; Flash support; 3.5mm headphone jack; Facebook integration
We don't like:
Sluggish at times; Flash video is dodgy; no easy way to back up and restore; button and menu overkill
The judgement:
If you can stand the Hero's occasional sluggishness, it's a fantastic smartphone packed with great features. We like its distinctive looks, and the innovative user interface brings Android much closer to being as fun and good-looking as the iPhone OS, while being far more customisable. Occasional lag and Android's rough edges mean it's not quite an iPhone killer but it's definitely fighting in the same class
