Fashion is fickle. I'm looking at getting a HTC Hero because a) everyone has an iPhone and b) managing my music in iTunes has been annoying since I did a clean install of Mac OS X.


I second that. HTC Hero seems to be as capable device as an iPhone, but without crazy restrictions imposed by Apple and carriers.

And it has 5MP camera that will make iPhone owners jealous (although not me - I had N82 with 5MP and Xenon flash for 1.5 years now), which Gruber seems to imply is needed to gain from Apple. Frankly I think he is wrong. What's needed is as capable device and slightly lower total cost of ownership. Hero comes close IMHO.


I have a G1 and still miss my N82. Mostly for the Xenon Flash but also the great battery life and headphone jack.
