Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Still running Android 1.5, Same CPU as the Magic/myTouch 3G, Camera not much of an upgrade, Flash support somewhat oversold, Expensive on Sprint
  • Could use beefier processor, Not on AT&T but I am, Some key productivity apps still missing from Android Marketplace
  • Mediocre Camera, A little sluggish
  • Native Flash support didn't always work, Sluggish performance
  • Interface is still a bit sluggish at times, awkwardly placed BACK key, camera performance is mediocre, expensive, only 2GB card provided with phone
  • Multimedia playback, especially with pre-recorded videos, was difficult to manage. Camera was disappointing. Design could be more exciting.
  • Camera is slow and image quality is average, Phone was just a wee bit sluggish, Limited Bluetooth
  • SD slot is only accessible by removing cover. This Hero has Flash, but how about a camera with a flash? Optional haptic feedback is about as subtle as a 6.5 earthquake. Lack of image stabilization produces videos reminiscent of Cloverfield. 340 x 280 vide
  • Some bugs. Slow Internet speeds. Lousy camera
  • Needs a reboot every 3 days to keep things speedy
  • No camera flash, Lackluster camcorder
  • The smartphone can occasionally be sluggish. Flash content didnt always work from the Web browser. Apps must still be downloaded to the phones internal memory. Media syncing software would nice, as would be a file manager
  • Gets rather sluggish at times, Mediocre camera, Feeble video playback functionality, Bad sound quality through the boxed earphones, Teflon coating only available on the white version
  • Some issues with Flash video support, Some people may be overwhelmed by customisation options
  • No music player equalizer, no camera flash or night mode, poor video recording
  • Camera can’t capture night or motion shots; phone may slow down when storage fills up.Look and Feel
  • Sluggish at times; Flash video is dodgy; no easy way to back up and restore; button and menu overkill
  • Angled ‘chin’ design an acquired taste. Limited internal memory. Memory card slot under cover. Disappointing camera
  • Not able to update over the air; non-standard Google OS
  • RAM/processor duo are a bit tired in tomorrow's market, though not as bad as many claim; keyboard performance seems to break down long before other apps show signs of distress, and the keyboard should be prioritized; ability to multi-task and load the
