I just got my HTC Hero last week. Got it for 22k INR. Strting with i was little confused btwn the iPhone 3G and HERo.i wanted iPhone at first coz of its brand image but whn i wnt deeper i came to knw HTC Hero is a real winner..and now i feel so lucky to have ths phone in my hand..i have listed down the pros and cons of the mobile. I was happy to get hold of HTC coz i did not not take up the risk of unlocking as did in Apple iphones. And an iphone is 35k in India.

I like the phone, but it does seem to drop more calls than my last old school, phone. I'm on the same network, so I can only assume it is the phone. my old phone had an antenna that could extend, maybe that is why it dropped less calls.

eversince i love changing my cellphones just to check the features of the phone.i tried different smartphones already but there is still lacking like having a hard time to navigate some functions. i just bought a new cellphones 4 days ago. when i saw htc hero which i thought i will having a hard time to look for one here because its very rare to have this kind of phones here in our country.i quickly sell my 4 day old smartphone and buy the htc hero! and now i have the htc hero i am so happy and contented i love android market eventhough i have an ipod touch. i even convinced my friend to buy htc hero and he did! he is contented and likes the design and features. although brown color is the only available here but we prefer the white one too bad. i love the design and all i can say is WOW!
