....And I have a HTC Hero... I'm jealous, but should I be? After playing with the phone for less than 5 minutes I have the following pros / cons:
Pros:
- Lovely big screen,
- Seemingly Speedy interface (but she has yet to clog it full of apps!)
- Good camera with adequate flash,
- Timescape/Media Scape work quite well,
- Feels fairly well made.
- Snapdragon processor makes for a better gaming experience on new
games such as Asphalt / Raging Thunder 2 etc.
- Android 1.6 = Google Goggles / Gesture Search / Improved Market
Cons:
- No Multi-touch means typing is not as slick as on my Hero,
- No Trackpad/Ball/Sensor is actually quite frustrating! I hadn't appreciated how much I use it,
- The predictive text does not seem to be as capable as on HTC's Sense UI,
- It's not a normal mini-USB connection, yet another fecking cable to have lying around!
- Sense UI is actually much better and still retains some little things from the core android
experience that the x10 on first glances seems to be too "covered" by the SE rom.
- Not actually much user customisation available when you compare to Sense UI
- You have to manually turn on/off the camera light, what the hell is that about?!
- The interface does not make the most of the high-res screen with the desktop icon / widget
spacing being far too big in my opinion, means you only have 3 screens that you can't put a
huge amount on....
Other than that, she's happy, i'm fairly jealous, although glad she didn't get the HTC Desire
