HTC Hero: Better than the Magic. Costs the same in the UK.

By Benedict Wee

Those looking to pass on the crippled and expensive HTC Magic and have family/friends in the UK can purchase its successor and actual competitor to the iPhone 3GS at around the same price Vodafone is charging for the Magic.

Amazon.co.uk is selling the HTC Hero for 430GBP (NZ$1,100) without contract and will ship on the 15th of July, 5 days after the New Zealand iPhone 3GS launch though that date is subject to change.
