I also have a Nokia N97 and I just sold an HTC TouchHD (I'm waiting for an HD2 in few days) that I used for over 12 months, but the Hero beats them all.]]>Nov 6th 2009 6:16PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 6th 2009 6:25PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 6th 2009 7:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 6th 2009 8:00PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/You usually have such high standards on your site. And I thank you for it.

This video, however, seems like it was made very quickly at the end of an evening out on the town involving binge-drinking.

I'm expecting someone to say: "DUDE where's my DROID" and giggle.
The idea behind the video I understand and applaud. But the execution...

Seriously, were you guys sober?

Also, HTC has already confirmed that the Hero will get a 2.0 update. Yes, it remains to be seen at this time, but it's still strange that you would call it into question in this video.

Who knew paying over $1000 more over the duration of the equivalent 2-year contract constitutes a better pricepoint than the Hero on Sprint.

Just because it's $80 cheaper up front doesn't mean it's a better deal unless you're really fucking short-sighted.]]>Nov 6th 2009 7:20PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 7th 2009 1:22AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/
For me, short sighted is staying with a sinking ship, and paying less for a service that gives you... less.

So, calling it a wash... being willing to settle for less by paying less... yes, the phone is still cheaper on Verizon.]]>Nov 7th 2009 6:16PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/
Sprint has the most horrible network and customer service I have ever experienced. If the monthly plan is too expensive for you, maybe a pre-paid phone is best for you?]]>Nov 8th 2009 10:26AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 6th 2009 8:38PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 7th 2009 3:24AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 7th 2009 12:20PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 8th 2009 7:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 7th 2009 5:32AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 7th 2009 10:10AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/Nov 7th 2009 10:32AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eris-mega-faceoff-on-video/

VZ is just too spendy plan wise and GSM is the way to go unless you never leave the US.

Engadget reviews have gotten so bad I no longer come here to learn about phones, only to see pictures stolen from other sites. Hire someone that can speak in sentences not Ums, like, and thingys.]]>Nov 9th 2009 11:46AM
