Get a Palm Pre...IMO better than the old iphone and best phoen on the market. I played with the Hero awhile but if you are on the net alot on your phoen the Pre can't be beat.
I've had 4 Palm Pre's in just over 4 months. Each one had a screen issue (would not light up to see screen when someone called, couldn't hang up, couldn't see the menus, etc.).
After complaining to the right people, I was allowed to switch to the Blackberry Tour for no additional cost. Great phone, no problems, very solid and 100 x better battery than Palm Pre.
I used to be a big fan of the Pre, but today, not so much. Hard to believe that I received 4 bad phones in a row. Sprint's customer care policy through the 800 number is horrible. After 3 replacement phones, even if covered under warranty, the customer is stuck. They won't replace the phone anymore. Said there was nothing they could do. A call to their corporate office and making my local store (who were great to deal with) changed all that.
Palm Pre is the best phone available. I have had NO issues with my Pre at all, absolutely love it.

Don't rely on Sprint Navigation though, does not find the satellite a good 1/4 of the time.
As mentioned already in this thread, battery life is terrible.
Also, browsing is a bit slow from my perspective... not sure how it compares to others though.. I know browsing on a 4 year old pcmcia card/verizon connection on a laptop is faster and was faster 4 years ago. Would also prefer a bigger phone for browsing the internet.
Not having video/adio recording is annoying but i'm guessing Sprint will add that capability over the air relatively soon.
