[From Myke] Hi Sammy,
Had a little fiddle with a Samsung Genio Slide today - it has the features of a smartphone, in a stylish way. I can tell you, I was so happy to get back to my Hero. The Genio seemed slow, unresponsive and the screen size is tiny - almost impossible to even touch, with the text input box open. I've become more dependant on my Hero recently, what with (as I've explained before), my new SIM from O2, giving me 3G speeds (get in touch with your operator if you're not getting 3G!), I'm able to do more whilst I'm on the go. The fact that people say the Hero's battery is poor. I've seen worse. Although, admittedly I do put it on charge every night (not that it's empty, but it won't last me the next day) even when I've been using 3G most of the day. I've came from a N95 to the Hero - and you're probably bored because I bat on about it so much, but honestly, it's my best friend... (ok that sounds kinda sad), I mean it's the best PA I could have... :) It's great. Few bad things - glitches and the camera's shutter speed is poor, so when taking pictures you have to stand for like... 10 hours before you can say ok you can move now. Hopefully 2.1 will fix all the glitches. Keep up the great content, I look forward to reading what's been published everyday when I get in from college (my RSS reader on my Hero isn't working recently o.o) ....
