Argument is invalid because I like how the screen feels and I think it's a good screen overall

It is sexy I guess
My only concern with it is they say it's kind of sluggish baddood;
Still can't decide, although I'm leaning more towards Pre/Hero

why
1. They're ugly
2. Moving components add an opportunity for another part to fail.
The less moving parts there are, the less possible breakage.

1. I disagree
2. Valid Point
3. They make the phone fatter baddood;
My friend Daniel had the exact same problem a few weeks ago.
He got an HTC Hero and loves it like a baby.

I'm sure I would love either one either way. baddood;
Well for some stupid reason my sister's getting the Hero in a couple days and my dad has the Pre so maybe I could play around with both before I decide
oh the pre would also have that sliding problem akudood;
if you're talking about the oreo thing, That's a very rare problem, and i could easily get a replacement.

lol
I haven't made up my mind yet
On the Pre I like the multitasking, good multitouch, 8GB of memory, and speed is supposedly good
On the Hero I like Android and like you said, less moving parts
Personally, the GSM Hero is the prettiest out of the Hero family. n_u
Though, the Sony Ericsson X10 looks amazing [as long as they get it so it moves like it did in concept].

Oh god lol
that actually makes me want it more akudood;
If I get the Hiro I want a 32GB memory card with it baddood;
There's a pole for a reason people baddood;
I still really like the Pre's multitasking, but I'm starting to like the Hero quite a bit. I would need to have a large memory card for it though.
I've been doing quite a bit of research between the two, and the Hero keeps looking better. I think the only way the Hero is worse is the web browsing is slower, which I would be using a lot.
And I would really need a big memory card. akudood;
jesus christ i know we like activity and all but you can edit something new into a previous post
There's a Pole for that. n_u
From what I read, the Pre looks good on paper, but the actually experience is lacking. The keys are too small for most people's fingers, and the interface is a little bit repetitive at times, and doesn't really flow as much as the iPhone, for example. I've read all good about the HTC Hero, and it being Android based opens up more possbilities for apps and open source development than the Pre, so I'd definitely say go with the Hero.
