I 100% agree with all the points that you said make it a great phone, but point #2 (Answering and Locking the Device) is what sold it for me. Just being able to slide it open or closed to unlock it is a fantastic feature. And hence,… i got myself one as well.

@Michael – Thanks!

I can understand that carriers are concerned about people abusing their networks. However, locking down devices and preventing Internet Sharing is not the solution. They should be looking at building up their network so it can handle the demands of the customer.

I never really used Internet Sharing. I have heard some talk that there are ways to unlock it. I’ll try and see if I can figure out how for you.

@Darren – The two devices are very different. The Hero is a great touch device, but it’s by no means a mobile workhorse. I’m not typing full articles or long emails on it.

Mike,
Great choices. Your 1st and 2nd favorites are my last two phones. I have been very happy with both.

Once the application lock was defeated on the Propel Pro (thanks Mike) it has been great. My only frustration is the inability to successfully use the internet sharing app. I suppose locking that down was yet another software “improvement” by AT&T.

I still keep the BlackJack in my computer bag for those times when I need to tether.

I’ve always liked the form factor of the Propel Pro. I can see why you would like it.

Question, now that you have been using the Hero are you still liking the WinMo Standard interface? Is simplicity still king or are you wishing the OS was spiffed up (at least visually) like Android?
