Hero vs Aria

[snarf77]

i have a hero its pretty snappy how does the aria compare? how about size?

the size is pretty similar, my buddy was comparing his hero the other day. the screen is the same and the height/width is similar. the biggest difference is thinkness, the Aria is about 1/2 the thickness.

the other difference is speed, my buddy runs 2.1 and it is super slow so he liked how fast the aria was. the big difference for him was the physical keys. he liked that any of the keys would wake the phone, were on the aria it is the power at the top. however, how i grab/hold the phone the power is right there for me and i don't think that's as big a deal. i don't miss the physical keys of my Treo pro.

It's very snappy

Stopped by an AT&T store to play with it today (getting one for my birthday in a few days). It's amazingly snappy, don't be put off by the 600Mhz being "slower" than the 1Ghz in the higher-end Android phones. I had 15 apps open at once, YouTube, Navigation, Maps, absolutely no slowdown. It's truly amazing how powerful this little phone is.
