There are many people who prefer an HTC Hero over a Palm Pre while others like the Palm Pre for their own reasons; therefore, we decided to do an HTC Hero vs Palm Pre showdown for you, to make that choice easier. Both have their advantages and disadvantages which will be looked at in turn, below.

The HTC has the advantage of a prolonged battery life, though by a mere couple of hours, and a sturdier hardware compared to that of the Palm Pre with which you would experience light leakages and dead pixels. Might as well spend $30 more and purchase something that’s more durable. Another advantage of the HTC Hero over the Palm Pre is the fact that an HTC Hero’s memory can be expanded whereas a Palm Pre cannot. You’d be stuck with the constant need to delete applications, and other things that you may be fond of, if you opt for the Palm Pre.

While many like the touch screen better, honestly, thumb stains and finger prints left on a screen do get a bit annoying for neat freaks. One of the advantages of the Palm Pre is that you have the option to use the physical keyboard and you have the option of battering your phone with finger stains, too.

The only advantage the Palm Pre has when comparing it with HTC Hero is the fact that it has a physical keyboard. The HTC Hero may be used to take pictures, seeing as how it has a 5.0 Megapixels camera and it captures videos, too. Being in possession of a phone that doesn’t even have a camera is what may be referred to as technological impotence and plainly, ridiculous.

In conclusion, when it comes to talking about HTC Hero vs Palm Pre, it seems that the advantages of the HTC Hero outweigh the disadvantages (of the HTC) and the advantages of the Palm Pre. Clearly HTC Hero wins, being superior, in many ways, over the Palm Pre.
