The crap grammar is deliberate in the title...

Now, I'm probably going to be getting a Hero... So, do I sell it and get a TP2, or keep it?

'twer it me, It would come down to only two things to decide.

1.) Do I want Windows Mobile or can I deal with Android.

2.) Do I want a slide out keyboard or screen keyboard.

Those would be the only two deciding factors for me. Everything else is either comparable or it not that important to me.

If the Hero comes with HTC Sense., that would sway me towards the Hero. ( WoW , cool, first one on the block factor )

Umm... I don't have £1000 going spare... :D well... £500... Hero will be pretty cheap on the contract, TP2 isn't coming on Orange for ages apparently.

Damn... That's the sensible answer I was hoping I wouldn't get!

My preference is towards WM, and towards a hardware keyboard...

But has anyone used both, who can give me some kind of slightly biased view?

I would much rather the hardware keyboard. I have a Kaiser, and while I haven't used another HTC screen keyboard, I have used the one on my son's LG Vu and my wife's iPhone, and I still prefer the hardware keyboard. As does my son, who can't wait for me to upgrade to the TP II so he can inherit my Tilt.

yeah me too inclined towards hardware keyboard factor


but then you should also consider the qualcomm driver issue if you use the device for heavy multimedia applications

i will choose touch pro 2 for my kind of use

Videos of the Hero show me that it's virtual keyboard is one of the best out there so maybe give it a shot before passing judgment. The Touch HD's onscreen keyboard was mediocre but Finger Keyboard 2.1 solved my issues.

I like to follow the idea of not judging a book by its cover. For example, I decided an iPhone was not at all worth its sticker price after trying it out off friends. I did enjoy its apps and wanted them so I ended up getting an iPod touch just so I can use those apps. That's why you should try out that phone. If you are truly unsatisfied, then yes go for the TP2. Another phone that seems worth a look is the Samsung Omnia Pro btw. The OLED screen and 800MHz CPU make for attractive options.

Orange contracts only have 500mb "unlimited" data...

Need to get a contract organised, but it's looking like I might go towards the Rhodium... Purely because I really like WM at the moment, and like the direction it's going. But, I'll try a Hero if and when I get one, and might love it...
