Which Phone???

Hi I have been looking at upgrading my old banger of a K750 for a while now and am torn which which phone would be the best. I have considered getting either:

HTC Hero
Sony Satio
Sony Aino

I liked the features of the aino as the remote play feature would be ideal but feel the phone may not be sufficient an upgrade over what I have already, The satio is very appealing its a shame it doesnt have the remote play feature, and I have heard the HTC is excellent. I would be using the phone for web browsing and media and obviously making calls

What would you suggest?

HTC Hero would get my vote out of that lineup, as it has the best operating system and UI which is great to use.

Would the HTC Hero be the best option? I see there are quite a few HTC models out

Re: Which Phone???

IMO, The Hero and the iPhone are two of the best devices around. You can pick up the Hero and use it straight out of the box, or you can spend all your time customising and tweaking it to be whatever you want it to be... it's a very flexible device.

See if you can get some hands-on time in a CarPhoneWarehouse or similar

Good call

Check out the HTC Hero discussion thread in the HTC forum, as well as the Android Apps thread in the same place. Some good reading there
