It would really be cool if tom's could do a review of this and droid side by side.

I am impressed that the Android phones are offering upgrades. With my Windows Mobile phones, we have to rely on people cooking up custom ROMs. They have the advantage of no bloatware, but don't seem to last as long as official ROMs before slowing down.

And that is not because Microsoft doesn't release updates; the phone companies don't release updates because they want us to upgrade phones!

I agree, someone out there please make the phone companies pass on the frigan software/firmware upgrades!

I gots a G1 and love it. Hoping that the 2.0 update will be available for this venerable phone soon. I don't mind if I can't do that cool LED flash on my G1...

I like the Hero except for that stupid lip at the front and that completely killed it for me. Feels awkward in just about every way imaginable but none as annoying as having it in your jeans pocket and that stupid lip preventing the phone from lying flat against your leg.

I like the look of the Hero! It looks simply and robust. I'm also surprised the words "iPhone killer" didn't appear anywhere in the article.

Hopefully once they get it running on the Hero, we'll get it on the Dream/G1 too. Unfortunately it looks like the Hero has more memory and built-in storage, which hopefully won't exclude Eclair from the Dream.

they need to come out with the 2.0 update soon . Im going back and forth between my hero and my blackberry. If 2.0 comes out soon I may keep my hero.
