Well, I've been using HTC Hero for more than a month now and I usually spend about a hour or more a day browsing, and I found it ... fast. And the browser is great.

What's this with the boot time? I rebooted it once I think, since buying, and it was when I had to put another card on it temporally.

Well as noted there is a headphone issue with the Hero, I got two in Hero's in four days and had same headphone jack issue. For me having these types of devices connected my car stereo to listen INternet music services is very important, thus I couldn't keep Hero because it has headphone jack malfunction issue.

I liked a lot of things with it, but no doubt it's slow and laggy, as well the virtual keyboard felt clumsy comparative to the iPhone. Let's hope this Droid provides all the best things I liked about the Hero, while solving what I had issues with.
