Comment:
I want the HTC Hero, I want it badly. However, I also feel that I ought to wait until HTC release a device with Android 2.0, either a Snapdragon or a Tegra processor, a 3.5 inch screen with WVGA resolution and a hardware QWERTY keyboard. My biggest concern with the Hero is that its Qualcomm MSM7200A 528 MHz CPU is rather dated by now. How long do you think we have to wait for a device with the specifications mentioned above? Not too long I hope.
