    Galaxy vs Hero Michael Kubler -- 19/08/09

    Great to hear there are some more Android phones coming out.
    I love my HTC Dream (developers version), although do miss having a 3.5mm jack.
    I've tried some adaptors off eBay but they broke fairly quickly.

    It's going to be an interesting choice between the two.
    The Hero sounds interesting, although I don't think I'd want to move to a more WIndows mobile interface.

    I like the Galaxy's hardware specs, although don't know about Samsung's build quality.

    One thing not mentioned about either phone was their camera. The HTC Dream's biggest failing is the lack of a good quality camera-phone, something that the new iPhone's and Nokia N95, have done a good job on.
