Is the HTC Hero an iPhone killer?

Nothing can kill the iPhone. It has a zombie mass following.

Is the HTC Hero better than the iPhone? Yes! Is a PC better than a Mac? Yes! Can anything kill an Apple spawn? NO!

your dubious opinions aside, it does seem from an uptake point of view that the iphone cannot (for now) be killed
 
The whole iPhone Killer debate is no longer applicable.

There are many phones that surpass the iPhone in many areas. This is not to the say the iPhone isn't a great phone either, but it has its own shortcomings. All phones have advantages and disadvantages, awesomeness & WTFs, etc..

Can everyone please get over labeling new phones as the new iPhone killer? It's really tiring and frustrating to hear about the latest iPhone Killer every few weeks.
 
ja, labelling your device as an iphone killer just reinforces the idea that the iphone is the phone to 'kill'
 
Maybe the HTC Hero Magic Pro Touch Duel 5 might be the iPhone killer...

So's your comment :-P

The iPhone is not an HTC Hero killer.
So why should the HTC be an iPhone killer?
If people are really gullible enough to buy an iphone... let them be.
Many people make many bad buys and are still happy... which is kinda the point in the end.
 
Picking mine up middle of next month, can't wait.
 
my iphone is in the bottom drawer since i picked up my Hero.

the Hero is AMAZING. super fast, strong, stable. feels just right
 
I think it can be. The Android market needs to pick up.
Also the touch screen response is still in favour of the iPhone.
I dont think they have made an iPhone killer, more like an iPhone replacement for now.
 
would love to check out android, tried most of the other operating systems, android looks very promising.
 
I managed to get Android running on my Tytn2, and I love it! No more Windows Mobile crap for me! Whoohoo!
 
HTC Source Code Released

the HTC kernel source code has just been released and will surely bring about a few enhancements.
See Here
 
If the HTC hero had a 800x480 pixel screen, I would have gone for that.

Screens with less pixels are so iPhoney

anyway, waiting to place my backorder for a Touch HD2 instead. Will probably chuck the win mobile OS and replace with android.

4.3" screen FTW

Dude....take it out of the drawer.....give it to me rather and i'll keep it in my pocket instead :D
 
I think iPhone is at the top of the popularity list purely because of the WOW factor. The apps one can get on it are super cool.

I had the HTC Diamond, and while it was a nice looking phone, it is hugely limited at the moment by its operating system. I tried to find apps and cool things for Windows Mobile but all the sites I went to either looked really outdated or the applications genuinely were outdated. I mean there doesn't seem to be anything NEW and EXCITING for Windows Mobile, whereas the iPhone has a cool BEER application and stylish multi-touch which has been utilised in a very effective way.

I think at the moment, the HTC phones are superb and far nicer than the iPhone in terms of hardware capability, but the Windows and also the Android operating systems still lie behind Apple's.

I would still (and am going to) purchase the iPhone purely because it's great fun to use. It's entirely finger optimised, the operating system is visually stunning and responsive, very responsive, another thing is the on screen keyboard which also is nicer than HTC's offerings.
