Give Apple some credit, blind hate just makes you look like a fool!]]>Sep 14th 2009 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/
So does blind following. (1) This post has nothing to do with Apple, so bringing up Apple reeks of fan-boyism; (2) paul didn't mention Apple or the iPhone at all, so he couldn't be engaging in "blind hate" or even "nearsighted hate" of Apple.]]>Sep 14th 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/
But yes. I'd say the greatest thing about the iPhone isn't necessarily itself; but rather, the "spark" that made all the other smartphone makers really step up and make smartphones with serious performance, great interfaces, and great design as well. It also helped to reignite the smartphone OS and software development game as well. Smartphones were there before, to be sure, but it just didn't get "there." Now it does.

In another six months it's going to be a great time to buy a phone - there will be choice like never before. Competition is a beautiful thing.]]>Sep 14th 2009 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/
However, jumping on my back because I posted about the iPhone when he stated that phones have been better the last 2 years (since the iPhone came out) just goes to prove my point :)]]>Sep 14th 2009 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/
The version I'm using on my G1 does have its faults.. but they seem to exist in the apps.

Its fast, but for that you will need a Class 6 SD Card. But 2GB will suffice anyway, if you don't have music on it.

Java also is insanely fast on this one.

This UI is sooooooooooooo much more robust than my iPhone's.

I think I'll stick it out until my contract's up, and hopefully by then, the next version of this phone will offer OLED and Tegra/Snapdragon!]]>Sep 14th 2009 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/HTC hero is awesome.]]>Sep 14th 2009 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/03/htc-hero-heading-to-sprint-october-11-for-179-99-no-chin/]]>Sep 14th 2009 5:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/Sep 14th 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/htc-hero-firmware-update-peps-up-the-sense-experience-to-somethi/
