Ok I bought this phone recently, and was my first delve into the smartphone market. I purchased this in white, because I feel white is much more stylish than the other colours.

When I first turned it on I was wowed by the quality of the screen, and once I started flicking through the features I felt utterly spoilt. I love the front screen showing the weather forecast as I'm a bit of a weather junkie. I also love the touch screen menus and really everything about it.

Internet browsing on this phone is a joy, and I now surf the net much more than I used to as a result of this

Unlike alot of phones the Hero also does well to keep sticky paw prints at bay.

Alot of people will say about higher priced mobiles that 'it's just a phone', but having this phone made me realise it's not just a phone!. I can sit by the river and catch up on some emails, log into Ebay and see what i've sold, take great quality photos and videos. It was worth every penny I paid for it and now I am hooked on the HTC platform!

The only drawback is that the long awaited updated to android 2.0 hasn't arrived yet.
