HTC Hero video demo: Sense UI, Twitter, Flickr and more

[Chris Davies]

i just had a feel of a dummy Magic at the vodafone store, and i have to say the pics are deceiving. the magic actually feels a lot smaller than i had first imagined. looking at the specs, seems like the hero is thicker? or are they measuring from the 'chin' to the ground?

i kinda prefer the rounded look of the Magic to the Hero, and i suppose i can live with a 3MP camera PLUS if what HTC's CEO says is true, then i might get the Magic and hold out for the Sense UI

We're still at pinch-of-salt stage with Sense UI, even with what Peter Chou is being quoted as saying; I've written more here.

Having played with both the Magic and the Hero, they're both pretty compact handsets. The Hero is probably a little larger than the Magic overall, but they've done a good job making it feel compact. Again, the severely tapered edges do wonders for in-hand feel. There are a few comparison shots here; apologies that they're not the greatest quality, but the lighting at the launch event yesterday was appalling.

Hero lovers who talk about the low memory of the MyTouch... Look at the specs on this phone and you will see EXACTLY the same ROM and RAM! Also, the battery on the Hero is the same as on the MyTouch. I like the look of the MyTouch and I think once the OFFICIAL Hero ROM is released, there will be plenty of Rooted MyTouch phones out there running the Sense OS... I know mine will, when I get it!
