iPhone 3GS vs HTC Hero Part 2

[shavenhaven1]

The iphone is a triumph of marketing over product, Android phones overtook them ages ago and are now pushing the smart phone tech to new levels, apple are realy being left behind

[youpipeification]

i dont understand why some people keep on talking about "iphone is retarded and boring", i just dont understand. Android is best in its own ways and so is iphone.Just because you need to jailbreak your iphone to get the cool stuffs doesnt mean its so retarded, tidious and boring, its worth doing it. well, have you even seen the touch features of iphone? its the best, smooth as an oil to its engine, damn too awesome. ofcourse iphone is expensive but doest matter 'coz its worth the price.

[andrejerome12]

android its just a sad excuse for operating system jaja they will never beat IOS

[BIGsmooth1]

when are people gonna realize that u will never have the perfect phone .. Theres always gonna be a phone that comes out with something u like and something u don't like. all phones are good for one thing as they should be making phone calls lol... people kill me when they down another phone because theirs can do this and that long as it dials out and u get a good signal and the battery doesn't die every 2 hours i would say it's a good phone

[vaiodesony]

The Razr V3 wins.

[BOWLING4SOUPandSUM41]

iphone is much better this was such a awful rewiew i have both phones, the hero keyboard is not good at all and lags, the iphone keyboard is much easier to use.

IPHONE WINS for me!

[chrischoy9]

@BOWLING4SOUPandSUM41 Thank you for sharing your own opinion & not fight with other android users. You truly deserve to own an iPhone :)

best review ever

[Kanaq007]

Apple iPhone 4 Ever ! Thumbs up if u think iPhone ist better !

[Pawnage4Ever]

@Kanaq007 android is better.....

[2008C6Vette]

Apple made the 3g iPhone...2 years later they made the iPhone 4 like at the begining of the year...

then thats when all the phone companies made something that can out do the 4 (AFTER APPLE MADE THE 4)

So they took all Apple stuff & just ticked it a little bit...

But Apple is better than all of those phones...first come first served

[CecilWardenso]

You can't afford iphone? Check out giveaway at gifter7 . com Take your chance NOW

I like it

[Blizering]

i have an iphone 3g soon a 3gs from my dad once he gets his iphone 4

and my m8s at school all have android and blackberry and stuff and the biggest difference for me is the smoothness on iphone vs the laggy andriods but thts prob just me

[InfectionDj]

im not going to argue with you guys, only people WITH iphones understand why iphone is the BEST. it's just very user friendly, theres always the app you want, the system is BEAUTIFUL!! it's VERY VERY VERY easy to type with, text messages are smooth and easy and quick to type with no matter if its the first time you've used an iphone, it's alot better guys trust me, and all you fags are going "ahh htc has a better processor" sorry guys but how many of you are going to play COD on your phone? ok..

[Zodiac13SFPD0]

@InfectionDj I had an iPhone, and its very easy to use but I would say the newer androids are better

[rocklover3300]

@InfectionDj Most of my friends owns an iphone, I have an HTC Aria and let me say that all of them love my phone. They really like the idea of having a desktop with widgets like Friends Stream that shows your facebook updates in real time or a weather widget. We all know the iphone is great but under no circunstance it could be better than an Android phone. Specially an HTC phone with Sense UI.

[DanGerving]

@InfectionDj i totally agree, i have the htc hero (alltel version), and would trade it for an iphone anyday, which i might as alltel got bought out by att in my area, so im debating on the 3gs or the htc aria when the switch goes in effect

[1HomeTheater]

Apple designed it, HTC made it better!

[dovecot]

doesnt matter what anybody does, Apple was the 1st to do it. htc are just trying to keep up, Apple provided the world with something to keep up with,

Apple bring change, everyone else just adapts.

[quocsangdpok]

minh dang can ban 1 cai i phone 3gs hang sach tay phien ban quoc te ai muon mua thi lien he 0937 09 52 33

[aissajez911]

iphone is better ! HTC needs some 5 years to reach for the actual apple technology !

[MadeFromDisaster]

@aissajez911 AGREED... people dont call the iPhone THE BEST for nothing.Its so much better than the others...once u feel the iPhone's touchscreen and how it fits u,u know u bought the right phone.Now i dont care if there is a HTC Phone with a Dual Core 800mhz processor I'm not going to play Modern Warfare 2 or WoW on my phone.The iPhone has so many apps for everything and ITS JUST BETTER....

Its the best phone so far and I doubt someone will reach Apple soon..,peace out...

[ehdave100]

@aissajez911

htc desire hd...?



[magicspacebull]

hero is the best i have it and my mom has the iphone 4 and its even better than iphone 4

[MrDeineMami]

Ihr wollt auch ein Iphone oder ein HTC?

Guckt mal hier:

(youtube vorne ranhängen ;)

/watch?v=6awwWKUV7oU

[saspcioll29]

LOL, he goes to the purchased (no music found) and exactly at that point he says UMMMMM

[MissHannelus]

It's not a question... HERO! <3

[sjkang21]

HERO HERO>>>

[synysterlud]

HTC phones are the best Android other then that the rest suck. iPhone is so different than Droid because of its OS..

[fowskate]

wtf, i didnt know hero looked like that

[saspcioll29]

@fowskate u probably know the US one, its different, i personally like this model better

[phroggyy]

to all ppl saying iPhone 4 is btr, take iPhone 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S i9000 or iPhone 4 vs Google Nexus One, which can be overclocked to 1.13GHz

[sveboras]

Only thing I dont like about Hero is it's screen that seems to lack in brightness and contrast - at least when seeing them side by side like this...

[Aaguilar0612]

Why don't somebody do a video on da iPhone 4 jailbroken vs htc evo n see Which is better? Dat way all da ignorant people can see for themselves!

[sweetdreamstoall]

i love it thank you am getteing the hero

[Liverpoolaid0809]

Which version of android does the htc hero run??

[zoeyroxy]

Belle & Sebastian

AND Death Cab For Cutie!!

Your awesome!

[DeVildeAnimaler]

iPhone all the way!

[theandroinvader]

@DeVildeAnimaler no iphone 3gs sucks iphone 4 is good but not great

[raz0rx]

Can't care about HD, i'm on a 1mbps connection and the only that streams properly is 360p

[1JGome]

deff HD!

[demsickrims]

you have a bad taste in music

\

[shepardz1]

htc hero supports microSDHC cards up to 32Gb

[nielssie7]

i have hero moth ago i updated it ist way better

[sweetymooni]

Did u know that all iphone 4 got a problem and all electronic shops brought it back to apple company and if u see the stocks now u well see apple company they r loosing stocks .... But iphone 3gs and black berry is the best smartphones ever <---- sorry about my english specially in socks part :s

[Mr291229]

@sweetymooni That's why I didn't by the iphone 4, I bought the iphone 3gs yesterday and from the AT&T customer service told that they've been selling the 3gs like crazy over the iphone 4. I wanted the iphone 4 so bad but I didn't want to deal with retenna issues.

[RywedyrPaduzujut]

Don't be lazy - take your chance NOW and win Iphone 4g. Check out gifter7, c0m!

[Dominicsky]

it's a pitty that the Hero is laggy as hell..in my opinion*

[finerats]

absolutely brilliant comparison videos cheers!

[nudellman]

I like the hero a lot better... iPhones are much better in speed but many bugs. Iphone is a better phone overall but it's not customizable. Hero is completely customizable. I'm getting the hero in a few months hopefully.

[Halstead2009]

in 1080 then why does it say 720????

[charliemac94]

for the micro sd card yes for the hero it can have a bigger on then then the ipone , as in internal for iphone

[freeze118]

Huh longpress is on iphone with exactly the same function.

[Lukaz1989]

amazing how htc obviously steals so many things from the iphone both in terms of design and functionality and get away with it..look at the buttons in the music player! its like they just copied them.. unbelievable..

[JEEPOFFROADV8]

yeah? apple copied things from htc to. htc's ui is 5 times better thou used both phones.

[XNightMareX1106]

@Lukaz1989 are you serious i mean play pause forward backword thats just common on every music player dumb ass and yet htc doesnt copy shit on the iphone if it did htc would suck like the iphone

[B777ANTONIO]

He left out some stuff on the iphone, & the iphonr does have the longpress.

[jazzmusicplayer]

how come this hero looks different than the verizon or sprint versions?

[XNightMareX1106]

@jazzmusicplayer its one in a different country but its pretty much the same i got the verizon one the htc droid eris really good i recomend it over the iphone but yet htc evo 4g and droid x are the best phones out so i recomend them to every one

[ryananderson280195]

I dunno about HD the video quality is better but only slightly however audio is much clearer in HD

[hsfightclub]

well if iphone came out on every carrier then we wudnt hav to use andriods

[jeff77789]

Android phones are laggy...period.

google's android isnt specific to the hardware stats or EACH phone model by different companies so the processors cant handle it most times... <20fps

[jeff77789]

all the android phones that i've used, the slide screens are ALWAYS LAGGY!!!! (underpowered processors paired with semi-compatible programs and so now it has <20fps performance)

iphone

[mightynemesis]

I don't want to look at your face. It's not a very tempting product.

[izzyb33]

you're so bias its unreal 

[Armonica2332]

funny how the reviewer has trouble admitting when the iPhone is better than the Hero XD or shrugs it off like it's no big deal

[whatthefudge2009]

the HD does not matter

all that matters is if i can see the video or not

[nandor690]

wrong, that htc multitouch screen and scrolling look pretty bad compared to iPhone.

long press it not good either. i would rather just hit one button and be able to go to numbers etc, instead of the long press. i do have to say that i do like the dictonary where you get multiple words to choose from, that is nice.

[wael1234567890]

wich cell is better htc hero or sony ericsson xepedia x10??????????? THANK YOU :)

[saspcioll29]

@wael1234567890 the xperia x10 is a GREAT phone, big screen and other atributes, it is kinda slow though, and for now, its using android 1.2 or 1.5 :( but this year (2010) there will be an update which will put it in 2.1, my father has xperia x10, personally prefer the htc hero

[05fedder]

you are very biased.

[penmenkdblrr]

USAiTunesGiftCards . COM Says it all !

[ivasusa]

iphone may be polling your e-mail accounts, so it not like "it updates only when i go there".

iphone also has long presses, why don't you show that?

let me see how you write japanese and chinese in hero (which is what i do)?

[mrbreckles]

Jesus christ. Whats the point in bitching about a review when you have obviously made your mind up on what you think is better anyway? Just buy what you like. No need to preach to others on youtube (and yes i see the irony in that last remark)

[igaloh]

iphone is just the best, other companies are just trying to make one with the same functions and they are all failing

[amalskating]

Yeah what do you want ? half HD ?

[nitraatfan]

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE!!!!

i want a new phone for a wile now, but i dont know what to pick...

i am a great fan of my ipod touch and i defently want to replace it becose i hate it to have several digital devices in my pockets...

[lisalorenzo89]

Have an iPhone? Check out POCKETPOON d0 t COM for the BEST iPhone and iPod p0rN app on the net!! Word

[felipepeixoto7]

This guy is getting paid by htc, cause he is not showing everything he could in the iPhone. It's pathetic. Pure commercial.

[PaddyMacNasty]

Haha, the clock on his HTC said 12:53PM and I thought - crap! I've missed the Gilmore Girls.

I need to get a job.

[nonanilla]

have your nails cut

[sew96]

I think i would prefer an iPhone... Little more style and easy controls, + the quickness gives it 10 stars... slow mobiles piss'es me off

[RobbDogg86]

I guess it boils down to what's your preferrences. You want something easy yet powerful and no cheap feeling you pick iPhone. You want something more thorough you get the hero. Either way, you win.

[Devon420ful]

no the iphone has a long press keybord also

[GothicXII]

@Devon420ful True it has. He tested it on the Q which is silly.

[mystuff3040]

HERO FTW!

hero is faster when overclocked :P

[wardance63]

definitely HD is a must-no grainy videos please!

[msthang829]

@totallyeva125

Pretty sure, the best thing about the 4g has to be the flash and the new case upgrades.

Alot of people Browsing this comment will not be able to purchase new iPhone, it's just going to be quite expensive

Luckily I learned on Apples twitter Thursday they are giving away a few thousand iPhone 4gs. Also, heres the link to Apples iPhone 4g giveaway webpage ... just copy and paste

way｡com/iphone4gfree22

Oh yeah, the registration code they ask for at the end is FACEBOOK3982

[PitterBateman]

u dont have any idea about the iPhone...

[TheAlexboy1996]

This man knows nothing about the iphone

[benteta]

@xXKimiriXx your right. however BOTH have media players. How can one be "better"? it could be faster. you compare a feature if it has big difference. there is no difference an average buyer could find on those phones.

[1ownjoo2]

@benteta

The big diff is the Iphone suppors pretty much every format like MP4 ect.. The Hero which i have begun to notice after getting mine yesturday is its limited to lower quality MP3 music which sucks.. All the music i bought on itunes i cant move to my Hero.. I need to convert them to mp3...

I got the hero because its cheaper then the iphone and has better coverage.. the Iphone is better when it comes to music. the iphone is faster.. My hero is sluggish.

[benteta]

@1ownjoo2 do you know what you are saying??(typing) i have a Hero and it can play any format, including FLAC!! Its the fastest phone I have ever used :p xda-developers.(com) Click the forum and make your way to the ROMS for the Hero.

[1ownjoo2]

@benteta

Hero doesnt support MPEG4 FORMATS..  At least according to there website... How do you move music and photo's to the hero anyway ? I have the sync software and driver, and when i plug my phone up i see the sd card and all the folders, however if i move my MP4 music from itunes to the music folder all i see when i look on the phone are the same 5 crappy songs that came with the phone..

[benteta]

@1ownjoo2 install a coocked rom, and you get support for everything.

Cheers

[simonthorman]

iCrap sucks

[MrBobzy21]

This guy obviously knows nothing about iPhone typing. You don't have to add it into your contacts. You type it how you want it once and disregard the autocorrect by clicking on it. If you type it how you like it twice it will automatically remember. Practice what you preach man.

[abhisheky35]

iphone is better anyday

[DustRemoverful]

You could totally tell this guy was up for the HTC phone rather than the iPhone.

I truthfully like the iPhone better.

[deeeznuts00]

crapple ifruit.

[benteta]

do you buy phones to listen to music?? wtf? why compare that?

[ArmoredKingyo]

@benteta yes. Some people do buy a phone to perform more functions then just call or text someone. Like listening to music.

[benteta]

@ArmoredKingyo I know, but you dont buy a phone just to listen to music. Almost every phone can do that!! Just get an iPod for music

[ArmoredKingyo]

@benteta Just because almost every phone can play music, doesn't mean that they can do it well. When you are comparing/reviewing two electronic devices like this you need to cover everything that you think may be important to the viewer. Music playing on a cell phone is one of the most important features to some people, so he has to cover that in order to have a good video.

[pojo205]

HTC seems to be a bit more choppy and lagging than the iPhone when viewing emails. Now i'm guessing this is the same with web browsing, and that would be a big turn down for me. 2.8 megapixels more in the camera? I have a 2.0 megapixel camera and I find those pictures to be of somewhat decent quality when uploading to facebook.

iPhone has a lot cleaner look, plus the aps.

I do expect HTC to make some major upgrades to their Hero but right now i'd still prefer the iPhone.

[hotdaddyhuggy]

@pojo205 The choppiness is now greatly reduced thanks to HTC's update which occured since this video was made, also coluld well be contributed to the Hero's capability to multitask unlike the iphone which of course is puts more load on the processor.

[lebronfan23forever]

hero is defiinetly better but for some reason i just like the iphone better idk why

[hippygeeza]

hero hero hero hero!!!

[point6000x]

@hippygeeza SGS SGS SGS SGS! =)

[TheSupermike93]

HTC owned iphone

[1337sweden]

hahahaha 2G XD

[karastiyo]

Its hard should i get an hero or an iphone !!!

[mujdin91]

get htc desire

[02Alan93]

@karastiyo Definitely the Hero.

[Garcea89]

@02Alan93 Are you retarded?

[02Alan93]

@Garcea89 No, but you are... still definitely the Hero

[krazygreen]

@02Alan93 Absolutely the Hero. I just traded my 16gb white 3g iPhone for a new white Hero, and it was the best decision I've made all year. I had a G1 and sold it last year, bought the iPhone, have always wanted the GSM Hero and luckily found it on craigslist for trade for an iPhone, which I had. It was tough at first and took me about an hour (lol) to decide, but I realized I won't get an opportunity like this very often so I made the trade. Great decision on my part, love the Hero!

[bluefisch200]

Legend...

[1645316452]

hero!! i had an iphone but now i got a hero and for me its much better and easier!! really!

[Replic1ty]

the "long press" on the keyboard works on iphone too.

[vaisforlovers2003]

why hasn't anyone commented on the HTC Droid Eris? Just curious how it stands up to the iPhone or the NexusOne.

[arafathcoolguy]

Why he is Testing Hero

Test HD 2 Its better

[LoryLandskipper]

@arafathcoolguy

this video was posted back in july of 09 dude. HD2 hasn't even made it to the US yet.

[arafathcoolguy]

i didn't not see that thanks 7 months old ok

[andrewwk6]

@arafathcoolguy you should take a look at the date when the video was uploaded

[cprALexe]

win ce sucks

[QwakSan]

Try tapping and holding the A key on the iPhone's keyboard. See? You were misinformed. The iPhone too has the hold functionality for some keys.

But the dictionary on the Android is clearly better.

I would say Android is the perfect system for engineers, lot's of functionality but not so smooth and clean. And the iPhone is the perfect system for architects.

Depending on who you are, you will love one and hate the other.

[Xtclilium]

wonder how it will be when the new 100petabyte flash cards come out xD

[Benjamin5050]

The problem is like all apple products, its the "Pretty Gizmo" that sells it.. The fun apps (pointless but fun) the shiny looking Mac book etc.. But its all over priced and for the technology inside any apple product there is much better for far less.. it just dont look as good.. But it will win cos the consumer is more worried about image then about function. TBH the nokia N95 had a better camera and video, better Mp3 player and worked blisteringly fast as a phone.. what more do you want? lol..

[NEEDCARS]

iphone is much better. to me its more then a phone. LOVE IT!

[tkto13]

HD, Yes! It is worth it and necessary these days. They need to give you that camera now.

[vapidtoast117]

I hate the Iphone for two reasons.

1. It are soo expencive

2. It's locked too allmoste all programs exept the few once that are accepted for Apple

[probulgarian]

If you jailbreak it you won't have these problems :)

[Trojan562]

@probulgarian you can also jailbreak/root the htc hero and overclock the cpu speed, save apps straight ot the sd card, etc etc.

[bubb95]

not at all fussed about hd. Except, maybe on tv for films and sport only.

[skatercereal]

Its a difficult debate, if you want a consumer product that is straight to the the point,

get an iphone,

if you are a user who likes to explore and get the most out of the software,

get a hero.

I use an ipod touch for gaming and a hero as a phone

[SERENExt]

Same, I used an iPod touch for music and gaming but hero as a phone(:

[ageofthoughts]

@skatercereal This has to be one of the best (one paragraph summaries unfourtunalty, thank youtube for that) but it has to be one of the BEST summary for the difference between these phones.

[DolvenBlogg]

@skatercereal you are not alone using iPod Touch for gaming ... and I ordered the Hero at friday 'cause I'm in need of a new phone. Probably it will be here at friday ;)

[diogenesny]

if your going to do a comparison of the phones at least be honest. the i phone is much better.

[UFOJeroen]

ik heb de hero nu 4 maanden en hij is perfect maar ik vind dat ze er een betere prosessor in hadden moeten zetten

[Oakesie77]

i think the iphone is too common now and i think it looks pretty plain, i dont really like it but i prefere the hero for looks nd well.. its different

[jeglikerost]

internal memory only is not what I'd call a "plus" |π﹏π|

[benlaor88]

Also, when you DO click and hold keys on the iphone it does allow you to choose different symbols. Just like Hero. Wrong again.

[emokiddy666]

iphone 3gs rules, everyones trying to copy it, i dnt c how ppl can think the hero n other crap smartphones are better than iphone, its unbelievable

[Wargargble]

if u want phone 2 listen 2 music and calling friends u dont need that expensive shit if u want a phone 2 act like a kewl dude yo bro then u have 2 buy iphone

[munta2001]

also by the way hold down e on iphones the keyboard. check that "power user" options

[munta2001]

you should get better at knowing what ur iphone is doing in the background. when u reject the iphones auto correct it adds, it add the word to the dictionary. soooooo you shold not be reviewing phones cause u know nothing.

[samo23]

The Iphone is be far the best phone ever developed

[CrazyDazeGrout]

My iPhone 2G is faster than Hero! Ha-Ha!

[Pulsukka917]

what about the prosessor speed?

[WrestlingStyleXtreme]

i thought that the htc hero is white why is it black greyish can anybody tell me

[Nayson]

Because it is available in more than one colour..

[Benjamin5050]

hahaha

[elitecrew69]

HTC hero pretty cool phone but its going to be hard to beat the iphone

[TheMRamstaff]

press other letter not Q ,Q does not have a option like e a i u , so with all respect for u but u did not do your homework on the iphone and u said u had it for 1 month what did htc pay u to praise it like u do ?

[phatpatt04]

i was thinking the same thing about the Q thing cause i use that feature alot. i dont think HTC payed him tho, but he is giving them alot

[TheMRamstaff]

iphone does that long press thing to :))

[Sindrenk]

Android freaking own iPhone.

[makeupLover187]

can you listen to music while typing a message for example?

[belgradeboy89]

@makeupLover187 lol yeah my damn samsung blackjack can do that

[jersey2221]

i love my hero on sprint...especially now that i have put on fresh's rom it has great battery and speed....im thinking about flashing 2.1 on it now....

hero imo is WAAAAAAYYY better thn the iphone

[stillonparolee]

once you jail break the iphone it's a whole new phone and functions like a laptop.

[MrJenwaY]

hero is better i gues i have HTC Dream, the one before Hero its nicee (:

[cenaroxtar]

obviously,HTC HERO!

[hammour1234]

talking about ripping... the whole Apple PDA phone idea was taken from windows... so it is a fare competition.

i will always go for Android... simply everything is free and linked with Google services (that is all free).

if i started to count the benefits, it will take me a whole day.

just sit back and relax and you will notice the huge difference between both empires and always Google will last..

[515brian]

HTC's keyboard is clearly a rip from the iPhone's. Have you ever used the "long press" on the iPhone? It does the same thing!
