Everyone of us dreams with this success stories: self-made, luck-stricken, hard working average Joe –or Jane– that once in a while hits the jackpot of a very successful application that makes him rich overnight (and still doing his –or her– dishes).
With this dramatic title I mean that something has changed in my gadgetery. After 9 years I am leaving the Microsoft mobile platform, who knows if for good.
9 years!! That is, in Internet years, like, I don’t know… 3 centuries? half-an-eon? Anyway, a long time it is.
In my previous post on the subject I sounded almost too happy, so it is time to go back to my grumpy mood by speaking loud of what I do not like about the HTC Hero, or Android in general, because, as it is my first contact with this platform, I have little way to know which features are Android-wide and which are specific from this model.
I have always been a “Windows Mobile guy” (before a “Pocket Pc guy# and in the future I might be a “Windows Phone guy”). I have also had my share of disappointments with this platform and a pleasant comeback with my current device. I am very happy with this device and I will be even more when I install a new ROM to it to renew it completely (thanks XDA Developers, I love you) but when my girlfriend was looking for a replacement for her old Sony Ericsson I turned my eyes to other platforms.
