The hardware and the software of both HTC Hero’s are the same. Both have the HTC Hero Sense UI, and same specs. If you were planning on getting the HTC Hero, will the new design change your mind?

I am a 40 something year old. All I need to know from this new and now generation. Is there anyone out there have any style are taste. Look at both style of Hero’s the new model is far sexier. I can rock with that style clip to my tight jeans. When I took a first look at it I rushed online and ourchased it. Can’t wait
Ronnie, I’m 52 and I’m with the new and now generation on this one, sorry bro. May I add that I’m also an artist and a designer. The original was dead sexy … sleek angles, nice monochrome and very unique. The Sprint version has become simply another addition to a collection of generic and boring US phones. If you simply ignored the rounded corners, the design of the lower 1″ is a disaster. Add in the two tone color scheme and you have all the charming interface of a kitchen blender.
I was lucky enough to have been introduced to the original while in Europe and was excited to hear that the Hero was to be released in the states, however now having seen, and held, the redesign I’ll pass. Hopefully someone will step up to the plate and offer a killer design for a future phone.
Thanks Sprint.
I agree, the FIRST one is the best looking. I actually went to the store to get this, and EXPECTED to SEE this. I then went to the kiosk and he pulled it out “What the fuck is this?” and he explained. I would of changed my mind and waited…but I really need a phone.
Seriously people da old version looks like a dam brick!! sprint did a good job gettin da new design i hope the htc hero2 (legend) doesnt look like da big brick they are showing now because it is ugly but if it looks diferently i will totally get it!
