It’s been less than two weeks since we laid hands on HTC’s latest Android masterpiece, the Hero, and so while we wait to see it again, the cats at Russian site Mobile-review have gotten some extensive time with a pre-release engineering sample, and give it some high marks for those in the “tech geek” demographic who are looking to pick one up. Some caveats to be had, including the use of pre-release Sense UI firmware and the curious case of calling the screen resistive, especially since the model we used was definitely the more finger-friendly capacitive, and all the promotional material we’ve seen show a capacitive model in use. Still, it’s well worth a read, if for nothing else than a glimpse at the sample pictures / video we can expect to capture with the phone ourselves.
