I've narrowed down my choices between these two phones (Since I cannot afford to get an iPhone or Hero).

Which one is the best? As far as I can tell, the Tattoo has a crappy touch screen, but is closer to the Hero.

Any help? I've been reading reviews all day, and am quite confused by now!
 
Magic. Especially if it does recieve SenseUI in 3 weeks time, which will essentially make it the same as the Hero except for the different earphone jack and camera.
 
It's a difficult choice. It depends very much on what you want out of it. The Magic has a higher res screen with a nicer physical feel and interface (buttons with trackball), while the Tattoo has Android 1.6 and a 3.5 mm jack with a radio. A lot of applications do support the smaller screen size of the Tattoo now (QVGA, versus Magic's HVGA), but there might be the odd incompatibility.
 
Looking at making the same choice at the moment and personally I'd go for the magic, unless a 3.5mm jack or a radio are absolute must haves for you. With the ability to ROM, as well as the (supposed) updates coming soon, the version of android that comes with the phone out the box isnt the biggest of issues.
 
I would also be very confused,but think i would go with the Magic for: Larger screen, higher res, more app compatibility, larger battery, slightly better camera and the fact that Magic is basicaly a Hero with a 3.2mp cam, especialy if it gets SenseUI.
Tattoo has a tiny screen and outdated res, id hate to type on it with such a small screen.
 
Another thing to note is the Touchscreen is Resistive, which generally isn't as nice as the Capacitative screens found on the other phones.
