The reason that the Optimus S performs better in practice is that it actually has a dual core processor 600 MHz application / 400 MHz modem processor. Look at LG's site. Click on the specifications tab.

The Optimus also has a much better GPU (I've heard it's the same GPU as the N1), which makes a huge difference in games and overall responsiveness.

Posted from my HERO200 while waiting for the UPS truck to arrive with a new Optimus.

The Samsung Moment, on par with the Hero with a little better hardware, isn't getting 2.2 so your argument for Sammy being better is invalid, sir. Also, the Legend is getting updated, and when it does, the devs will be all over it like a hobo on a Ham sandwich. Then the Hero will have sense 2.2. If that's your thing. I'm quite happy with my AOSP rom, though.

I had a Samsung moment and I hated it....very slowwwwww, laggy, and over all didn't like all of the samsung problems. I currently have a HTC Evo and love it..

P.S. the wife is looking to sell her Evo and is either going to get a HTC hero, or a LG Optimus S.

Their doing so great that their taking sweet time on update i pass. Htc doesnt take longer then samsung on updates. Plus, samsung device are to fragile for my hands.

In one year i would need another phone with their quality. If i want toy phone their an iphone for that, with more memory.

Htc rocks not my opinion based on fact look at forum and people who purchase Samsung and Htc device to see it.

I swear this might be my FIRST and LAST HTC phone I have ever bought.. I'd rather go with Samsung so far their doing great with their android galaxy series

Remember lg ally for Verizon in late May preloaded with 2.1 os. No update yet, LG is doing Samsung move this year.

I think the primary issue is using Sense. Since the Hero is a Sense device, so on top of getting 2.2 perfectly functioning, they have to modify Sense to be compatible as well, and that is just something they don't want to invest in.






Lol Samsung support their top-tier Galaxy line is not a good comparison against HTC and their low-mid range Hero. Samsung was responsible for one of the worst debacles in Android support history, promising 2.1 for Behold II users and then all of a sudden abandoning support after releasing 1.6. HTC is much more consistent, not to mention their build quality is the best in the industry.



Yes, the MyTouch 3G is made by HTC. MyTouch is just T-Mobile's branding, it is originally the HTC Sapphire or Magic. The MyTouch 3G and Hero are very similar devices, actually.. same CPU, similar amounts of RAM, etc.

There was a reason the thread died. It was no longer relevant. Please try not to bump a dead thread because it's better to have alive and active threads at the top. Same thing in Development and with people bumping dead android 1.5 ROMs and whatnot.

I know this topic started with the LG optimus S and the HTC hero. The only reason why I asked about the mytouch 3g was because my friend said they weren't similar and I just wanted to know. Sorry for adding the mytouch 3g into this topic.

The mt3g (magic) is pretty close to the hero.
Msm7xxx 528mhz
256mb ram (on mt3g1.2) 192mb on original.


Back on topic, the updates are up to the carrier and mfg.this case would be sprint and htc. (Vodaphone magic got 2.1 sense, tmobile magic got 2.2 vanilla.)
