Cool, sounds promising. I've been with O2 for years but they havent got any decent handsets at the moment and I'm due an upgrade next month so unless I go for the iphone then I'm jumping ship!
 
Should be same as Magic which is the same as iPhone (touchscreen technology)
 
Plus, by then, Android (and HTC's offerings) should have matured a bit.

Isn't flash a bit unstable on the Hero?

Looks like a very nice phone that - depends how bulky it is in real life (doesn;t look like it will be).
But what's up with putting a chin on the phone? Just means it would poke out in places i.e your pocket?

It does look nice. Apart from the chin which looks really quite fugly. Lose the chin and it beats the Magic, for me at least. But with that chin the Magic still is my favoured next phone. :)
 
Does this also mean that flash compatability will roll out onto Android OS shortly for people who arent going to have the Hero or is it hardware limitation?
