I have a HTC Hero since it was launched, and I have been satisfied with it, and think it can fill most people's needs. However, this phone also has a lot of faults, especially hardware-wise.

It can be used to listen to music, update status on sotial networks, browse the web, update you on the weather and make a phone call, all at the same time!
