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.

not bad, but
Phone owned for

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.
