Cons Battery life not so good, android calendar app crashes
Recommended it? Yes

So, after over a year of living and loving my Blackberry Curve I was itching for a new phone. A part of me lusted for an iPhone, but I wasn't in love with the price nor the fact I'd have to switch to AT&T.  I'm on Sprint, and have been for years.  I was pulled in by the allure of the Moto...

Hello, I have had the HTC Hero for about 3 weeks now. I am a guy that likes to go to the gym and play sports and fast cars but deep down I am a nerd bomber, a techno geek or I dare say even a book worm. I chose the HTC over the iPhone. I will break this review down into several short categories so... Read full review »
