    Default if I buy a magic, and upgrade to hero rom, is it pretty much a hero?


    I compared the hardware from the hero to the magic and they are almost exactly the same besides camera, 3.5 audio jack, battery (maybe one or two more things)

    so if I upgrade to the ROM for hero to the magic, will it pretty much be a hero?

    The reason I don't buy a hero is that I am on att and I don't see leaving them since all my family friends have them and mobile to mobile is great. And I won't be able to unlock the sprint hero or the uk hero and get 3g. And I REALLY want an android phone on par with my iphone. I do no necessarily want to downgrade. I am tired of the same old boring iphone, no multi-tasking. This is what caught my eye on the android and being able to customize it and have multi-tasking.

    So please help me decide. I love android and I don't even have it. I just need to find a good piece of hardware to run it on well.


    Thanks!

    Well, I believe the Hero has a notably larger battery, more memory, and a faster processor. Unless you really care about performance and speed (which you probably sould), an HTC magic running the hero ROM is effectively a HTC Hero... atleast the stupid sprint version of it.

    Where did you get the magic, is it a Rogers phone? If it is, you're golden, stick with it. The Rogers phone have more ram than one you get from T-Mobile (the Mytouch, ugh.)

    I am in the US, but I plan to get the rogers phone. Since I believe Rogers and ATT are pretty much the same.
