HTC Hero vs Sprint Hero vs Droid Eris
Over at EngadgetMobile, they did a nice little comparison of the GSM unlocked version, the Sprint CDMA version, and the Verizon CDMA version (Droid Eris) of the HTC Hero.
They point out a bunch of differences that are good to note (my personal favorite as always is the unlocked version, but no 3G can be a huge problem for most, understandably).
So check their comparison out if you were debating about which you wanted to get.
lets give a two thumbs down for verizon trying to jump on the android band wagon. the original gsm hero still looks the best IMO. the only thing about the moto “droid” that i like is the processor. other than that, moto needs to bring something better than that cheap looking phone (thats all they are good for. once again IMO)
Same here. Droid dont give me enought to change. I keep my HTC Hero and will wait for something else or better (from HTC)
eris specs is more sleeker and its way more sexier phone….hero is also very attractive but if eris had 3g it would be raised higher than the hero….its only 99 dollars…way cheaper than the hero and well worth it….proccesor is also a little faster
To DS: I have an Eris Droid and it is a 3G phone.
To VR and Ejensen: I have to agree the Moto Droid did nothing for me in the store. Its bulky and can not compare to the HTC.
I love my Eris.
actually the eris and hero have the same processor, but I played with the droid yesterday for a couple hours and its not enough to make me want to change as a matter of fact i thought it was kind of laggy.
I had the G1 and now i have the mytouch 3g..the droid on verizon is too heavy and they keyboard is too close together..only a good processore..same with the behold II…its veryyy laggy.
I have the UK HTC Hero running the Modaco Custom Rom.
I’ve used a Motorola droid and it doesn’t even come close to competing with my phone.
This is just one man’s opinion however.
PhonePersona,
Thing that might change that for you is that the Droid was just rooted, so Sense UI might be coming to the Droid… hmmm, you never know.
Love the sprint htc hero. hate the moto droid
Droid Eris all day. The Hero aint gt nutn on da eris. Da internet 4 da Hero is TERRIBLE. Plus da Hero is UGLY.
How I read this:
“Droid Eris all day. The hero aint gt [Um, I guess that’s ‘got’ …] nutn [‘nothing,’ I suppose…] on da [Surely this should be ‘the.’ Is one more letter so much of a bother?] eris.[Capatilization? Not a big deal, I suppose.] Da [Again?] internet [Wow, got this one right!] 4 [Really, how old are you? This is completely unacceptable for anybody over the age of 12.] da [AGAIN, really?] Hero is TERRIBLE. Plus da [One more time! Say it one more time, I dare you! I double dare you, motherfucker!] Hero is UGLY.”
Jesus Christ, I need a drink.
Tj,
Lol
i like the droid but you guys are right not nearly enough to make me change. i love my mytouch original android phone still the best. better than hero.
