@Bizdady: Actually it is only Jesus who dislikes it. As far as I know, there are a couple of android users in the gizmodo setup.
@deleahrium: Unfortunatly it is Jesus, who is known on here to be a pretty diehard iPhone user. So I don't think it was.
@ddrussianinja: Pretty much because most of these custom ROM's are nothing more than edited version of Eclair and Froyo, and should run mostly the same.
@drthunderer: The hero was out in July 2009, actually. But I agree, a comparison against the 3gs would have been much better.
@meownowbrowncow: The HTC Hero is also quite an old phone, you know.
@jizMondo: Then seperate all the jailbreakers and stock users for added fragmentation!
@cc: Because Jesus Diaz.
How is the first one relevant at all? A load of different devices use android, big deal.
@sherifhanna: Stock android isn't really a clumsy UI model by any means. Especially in 2.x builds
@916CALLTURK: Snapdragon in a sub-£100 phone? Yes please.
@Roobs: Cannot unsee.
@Arrr2D2: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi?
Spec wise it isn't anything special. My SanFran has similar specs (only a 3.5 inch 480x800 OLED, and a 3.2MP camera being the real difference). So if it comes in at anything more than around £160, it isn't really worth it.
@max.o.wheeler: Should work fine. What happens when you try to install it manually? Apart from it not working of course.
@Graviton1066: A game on newgrounds called "Crush the castle"
@Akio Morita: God damn that thing is freaky.
Damn, that guy is as tall as me.
Your phone is now diamonds!
