Got my HTC Hero yesterday at Best Buy and didnt even Pre order it.  I traded in my Instinct HD for it.  So at my best buy I was the first HD sold, first one returned then the first Hero out the door.  

Its my first android phone and it blows the instinct out of the water in basically everything except for the camera, but I'm not buying a phone as my primary camera anyways.  

There is no lag, it just transitions so smoothly, downloading apps is a breeze, setting up the phone is super easy and I'm not to tech savy.

The only I have to say is the keyboard is smaller on the Hero than the HD, but I like the feedback and word prompts on the hero, so in time I will adjust quickly.  Also BB was not able to transfer my contacts over for some reason so I had to do it manually.  I also like that you can link your facebook friends profiles to their contact.  My wifes pre does this but its an all or nothing or at least thats the only way we could do it.  This one you can take each friend and link it only if you want.

Overall I am very happy with the phone and looking forward to learning alot more about it.

Oh one more thing I did not get a Micro SD card adapter with mine.   Did anyone else? Share your thoughts at http://www.HTC-Hero.com a dedicated site for HTC Hero. Take Care!
