I have hero for 3 days...and i must say its better than i thought!
Prons
very very fast
gps
the android os (i like it!)
the android market(many programs,games available most of them free)
any usb can charge the hero
hero can be used as an storage (sdcard) in many pcs without need of drivers(xp,vista,seven etc)

Cons
Only 2 things for now...
The battery..If you are an active hero user (browsing,sms etc) then the battery would not last long.
Around 12-16 hours.
After a month this time is increased by 2-3 hours
and if you search in google you can find ways to increase more the battery life.
-The camera..
I expected more from the 5MP camera...

Best phone I ever have. Except Bluetooth file transfer lack of capability.
On Android Market you will find anything an ordinary user will need.
In Romania I bought`it for 370 euro.
I look forward the soft update.

And for the flash support is not really too important, given that HTC will improve the overall picture and video (flash) performance with the update.

The Hero no having camera flash is due to the Android OS 1.5 lack of support. With the new Android OS 2.0, smart-phones running android can now implement camera flash into newly developed devices. So if there should be a Hero 2, i am certain it will have flash support, better blue-tooth support, etc. For more details, google the new android 2.0 online.

HTC did a good job developing this phone despite the little short coming of the OS, it remains one of the best android 1.5 phones to date.

For a phone that claim to be the first flash supported android device, they really need to improve the pos HTC flash player that seem to only capable of playing ads! Flash movie play like slide show on this device. I don't understand why is it so difficult to implement a full flash support browser. Even my old HTC touch cruise can play flash flawlessly with skyfire browser.

I was impressed by this handset, but not enough to give up my 20-month old Nokia N82 (!) given that the Hero has no LED or Xenon flash, TV-out, DivX capability.
It seems HTC only want to match, rather than surpass, the iPhone - which is a real shame. As such I guess I'll just wait for the N900!
