This:

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2009/11/03/se_xperia_x3_rachael/

is much nicer than the Hero in just about every respect.

Except perhaps it's availability to the general public...

Well that article doesn't appear to list any features that the Hero
doesn't have, but...

>Except perhaps it's availability to the general public...

...I expect the smart phone market to have new, higher spec'd handsets
appearing every 3 months or so for the next couple of years, so I'd
better get used to having an out of date bit of kit
