Test: Einzeltest: HTC Hero
Zitat: Admit it, it looks good… Because it is faster, better built and has HTC Sense (user interface improvement for HTC phones), the HTC Hero is simply the best Android smartphone on the market today (in the U.S at least). The native and complete support of Exchange makes it suitable for small businesses and therefore a good potential replacement for Windows Mobile devices. Its web browser has pinch and zoom support and the Hero has a number of things that were in our MyTouch 3G (read our MyTouch 3G review) wish list: multi-touch, more widgets, 3.5mm audio connector (and full Exchange support). That said, it is also more expensive to own than the MyTouch 3G, because the T-Mobile plan costs $55/mo instead of $70/mo* for the Sprint plan (ALWAYS look at the total cost of ownership over 2 years). Obviously, you will have to compare all the features and decide if the difference is worth the price. Sprint is supposed to have a better network than T-Mobile, but check how it performs in YOUR area. Inevitable comparison : The HTC Hero is a good phone, but it’s not where the iPhone 3Gs is, in terms of reactivity and speed. On the other hand, the platform is more open. so you might find apps that don’t exist on iPhone. Also, if for some reason you don’t want to have AT&T as a carrier, this is one of the best touch phone that you can get. *As of today, and on Sprint.com, the HTC Hero goes for $179.99 with a 2-yr contract. The cheapest plan was a 450mn+unlimited data for $70/mo
