htc hero uses an old processor Qualcomm® MSM7200A™, 528 MHz where as n900 uses OMAP3430 which is currently powered at 600mhz and can be geared upto 1ghz.
Also, the TV-Out feature.
All-in-all, apart from the form factor (this is a personal choice), N900 is great and undoubtedly superior than the hero!

a couple of things:
1. Is that Jaffa's 'Attitude' app? Makes you wonder....
2. Is this the task switcher in 'select' mode?
I really like the use of focus in the UI, pretty intuitive I think to navigate
Good show Nokia! Now, when can I get one, and can you convince Ted Rogers to lower his data costs!!?

Comparison between WinMo and Maemo is worthless I guess.

I have two N97s right beside me right now; hardware on this looks very, very similar. If the build quality of the first one I got, regardless of price, Nokia has a winner and then some.
Subsidized, this device will be $399-499 USD. A subsidy making it cheaper than that says that this device will be a huge success; and I think it will, but like the Ford FiveHundred, not initially, only after its seen on the road a bit.
Subsidized or on contract as we call it, it will be free in the UK. $399 on anything higher than a $20 contract would be a rip-off.
Expect to see something like this on 18month contracts;
£35pm > £99
£40pm > £65
£50pm > £0

Eldar always writes in a way to make you see the next steps if you read the lines carefully. The RX-71 should be very, very ground breaking. Nokia's CEO made a comment once about netbooks being nothing more than smaller laptops, that Nokia understands the difference between a computer that's mobile and doing mobile computing. I'm very intrigued, and think that the keyboard-shifting model is coming, with Maemo 5.

To be honest, the Hero is a bit cheaper at £399 but offers less in hardware terms.
