If you push the home button twice you can pick which page you want to go to. So you dont have to slide all the way to the next screens / use trackball. Other then that a fantastic review!
while im familiar with most American Android phones, if i bought a Euro Hero could i use it here in the States on T-Mo? just Edge or could i use 3-G or not at all?
Yeah it is slow but it will help if you put a microSD in with a higher writing speed, see the cache files for the sense UI are stored on the SD whenever possible, so a faster writing speed also speeds the UI up a bit.
My phone crapped out on me and I ordered a GSM HTC Hero...thanks for this video...it makes me feel more confident that I made a good decision to get this phone. I get it in 2 days, can't wait! Thanks again.
You know, some reviewers seem hung up on slowdowns with this phone. But every time someone mentions it, I don't really see a demo of it. It always looks pretty slick to me.
If you can get a hold of the hero but it, its a great phone. But if your carrier won't carry, wait for HTC in the future to introduce more Sense UI phones that won't be as underpowered as this one.
I just ordered the Hero and should be here tomorrow or wed. I have a 3gs now. People say this phone lags some but the 3gs lags when jailbroken and running apps in the background. I dont think you can compare unless both are running apps in the background. Guess i will see when my hero gets here
try jailbreaking a iphone then you can customize it :D but i understand what u you mean by it comming in stock, i actually was hoping this was going to be the iphone replacement for me but u said its slow so thats a no no =(
Mhh strange: I run 7 homescreens, full of icons and widgets and there's no sluggishness oder lag at all. Sometimes it needs a half second, but 90% of the time, everything runs smooth and iPhonelike..
I spoke to a sprint employee and he confirmed that they get it on Oct 11th but the date might change!!! Never the less I hope your contract with at&t is up... =)
1) When sliding a widget from page to page you have to hold it at the edge before it moves to the next page similar to re-arranging icons iphone.
2) I believe if you put your thumb on the bottom of the phone screen and start moving it left and right it brings up a "virtual trackball" that allows you to move from screen to screen easier.
finally someone who knows what theyre doing. i scrolled all the way through the list of comments to see if anyone had already posted it so i didnt double post.

Here's an idea, if you think 7 screens is "too much", DON'T USE 7 SCREENS!! How can anybody complain about htc giving us MORE options for ourselves?
