Blackberry TOUR versus HERO
IF lack of MMS, NO FLASH, so-so picture quality, poor battery life is acceptable go for the HERO........
At least I don;t feel as ripped off as last years BB STORM joke release....
The Tour is a great phone ....I almost wish I had kept mine.....
As with all new phones perhaps the Hero will mature with a software upgrade and redeem itself..........great phone but certainly NOT an IPHONE replacement as the TV Ads suggest.
I think the android devices will get better over time faster processors, more memory. Just to early in the game to tell but apple is finally releasing a cdma iphone 3rd quarter of 2010 so they must be feeling the pressure.
I think the Tour is the best blackberry to date.
The Hero has flash or am I crazy? I see it come up all the time when i'm browsing the web. And as to the iphone, it's only had MMS for a couple months at the most lol :)
Yes... the Hero has Flash LIGHT. Which means it supports some Flash, but not all.
my opinions and observations...
CS Hero:
pros:
large touch display AND trackball
wifi
threaded SMS
pull-down notifications bar
google account integration (if you use google accounts)
Android OS
phone/address book
full HTML browser
Sense User Interface and widgets
Flash support (light)
apps, apps, apps
cons:
occasional lag
battery life (some say, not my personal experience)
no hardware keyboard
limited available accessories
HTC Sync
no MMS
no BBM, ha
CS Tour:
pros:
proven, solid built BB hardware
BIS
vibrant, high res display
solid hardware keyboard
shortcut keys
BBM
BB Desktop Manager
cons:
battery pulls
app store / apps
browser limitations
trackball
no Flash support
no wifi
I think that's a fair list for both phones. It would boil down to what is more important to you when choosing which is "best" for you personally.
