@erikmackanhelarena A gig is more than enough, u can use the wifi where ever it is available and it works great, don't forget to root your phone and get the new rom's for it as it just brings the phone in to it's own, i've had the new 2.1 rom for a while now and its working beautifully, only issue ive had since i got it which was the first day it came out is, the usb connector does not recognise my phone no more, it will charge but no dice on connecting to transfer, still a great phone tho.
Had this phone since it came out, have rooted it and loaded a custom rom and believe me this phone pisses all over the iphone and all other competition, htc hero on orange uk. Great phone, shit review here.
Can someone please tell.. if get this from Tellus, since this has Wi-Fi, does that mean I can browse the Internet at home and hotspots WITHOUT having to use mobile Internet service? (Like what you pay $5 a month for or whatever.)
tmobile uk arnt releasing the hero yet though. I spoke to them and they were quite dissapointed and sounded a little pee'd off when i said i wanted to cancel my order for the g2 because i wanted the htc hero and they said 'but thats not released yet' and i said yes but it is on 3 and orange. and they suddenly shut off their niceness and said, right well ill cancel that then, bye. lol well they should have gotten their act together and put the hero out already.
the t-mobile my touch is nice but i love the design of the htc hero, but and the my touch and and the htc hero is a little diffrent i like the way you can scroll over and i think it is more organize and i just love the way it looks it look diffrent at sprint i think and is it coming out on t-mobile because i think i might switch so i can get the phone should i or should i just get the my touch and be happy with that because i don't have a touch screen phone and i hate the hell out of it.
Telus dont have My Touch i would have taken it if i Found it , it is lovely too , for now i m very happy with my HTC Hero , but still i would be more satisfied if i found My Touch
mine is being delivered to me on monday :D I bought over the phone on friday evening, did a bit of reseach imo its better than the iphone and many others, sure the cams not the best and the iphone beats it on music but it does the job + if like me u have a digital cam & an ipod who cares
I've had this for a week and its a nice, very good phone. Not much to seperate it between the iphone. From what I've seen, I'd say the iphone wins on speed, but nothing else.
iphone screen is 3.5 hero's is 3.2....doesnt seem like much of a difference,but it is,you can really tell when yu're browsing or watching videos...and typing of course
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
touch pro 2 is way better and besides when windows mobile 6.5 comes out in October 7 which is free upgrade. It will have same interface look and even way better features than android.
I have a question - I have an iPod Touch 2G 32GB so it holds all my fav music, movies and apps and soon I'm going to change my cell - i cannot decide whether choose a Hero or iPhone GS... What do you think? I'm a bit more convinced to buy Hero cause having an iPhone may seem like getting another iPod with an addition use as cell. I'd really appreciate if you could help me :) thanks!
At that moment iPhone 3GS is the best smartphone on the market. Hero is a lot more laggy than iPhone, because of software optimization, they said that they will solve that, but at that moment, iPhone is the best(it's a lot more speedy, very big difference when u browsing internet).
if only t-mobile launches this after myTouch 3G, as their 3rd android phone, this will definitely be the IPHONE KILLER no doubt, G1 and, myTouch not so much, not even the new Bell Palm Pre.
the iPhone is the best because of the AppStore. If u don't care about the apps then there are better phones available. But since I REALLY care about the AppStore and I wanted I iPhone since I first saw it..
The placement of the "back" key is a huge pain. It basically forces your hand into a cramp-inviting position -- it's an unnatural position for a key you've got to use a lot. If you're left handed, it'll seem fine (great even), but as a righty, it's inconvenient and even uncomfortable. It is far better to have both the "search" and "back" buttons to be positioned on the bottom left hand side of the device because most of us are right handed, take note HTC.
ohh ohh. i meant to comment that to kvabikova. the comment where it says "the placement of the back key is a huge pain. it basically forces your hand into a cramp-inviting position..."
I haven't seen this video on any site other than yours.
i think its comming to sprint X) hopefull i like the pre but i has those first gen. problems plus android looks more legit/polished, and the service is better.
Remember people, on the coming months of September to December, there were 2 volcanoes that would erupt in the US, the name of these volcanoes have something to do with faith. This eruption is a trumpet blast from God. Repent now people! Avoid pornography, smoking, cursing, fornication, adultery, immorality, occultism etc. Be holy; do not turn to church for salvation, turn to Christ
T mobile CTO Brodman, speaking today at an event in New York said that the company(T mobile) has no plans to bring the HTC Hero to market in the US. Instead T mobile will be offering the HTC mytouch 3g. SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE! If u don't believe me google it
Yeah, the curve at the end is a little weird. Not that it would weigh over me buying or not buying the phone, but doesn't it make it kinda non-practical to put it in your pocket and the end of it sticking through your jeans like that? =D Does anybody have any experience?
Lol, I love how the iPhone fanboys get so defensive about it. It may have the movies and music apps, but who cares. In an ages of being able to illegally download, people can just compress the file to MPEG-4 and move it onto the card, or place the music they have on their computers onto the phone. How does having a store to buy these things from, make the "PHONE" any better.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you sap suckers kill me with your juvenile attempts at spelling the end of a top notch product like the iphone. Keeping having your wet dreams bitches. Iphone rules! You may not like it but I just got the 16 gig model 3GS and it is awesome. Oh and by the way, does HTC have their own movie and music ecosystem? No!Apple has movies, music, apps, video and camera. HTC will drop 10 more phones before Apple releases an iphone update. Now screw off.
Ohh yeah, apple has movies as music! the only people who actually still buy there music from useless proprietary programs such as Itunes are people who dont know how to use torrents, and what do you mean "video and camera" the HTC hero has a 5MP camera that can shoot video...Only reason apple is still where it is today is because of one good product ( The iPod) And they are still just riding the hype, everyone is so "locked into" Apple, they just don't realize there are tons of other options.
I was wondering the same thing. I'm starting to favor the Hero because of its ui, but the Omnia HD has amazing specs: Oled screen, HD video, that will be hard to pass up.
i so badly wanted to buy a phone other than iphone.
In fact, before this, i was adamant that i would get the palm pre! But this will do me perfectly.
Before the pre, i was looking at htc touch hd/ htc diamond 2. This has the best of all worlds - Android platform, HTC UI.. now all i want is a better looking phone! come on HTC - "you can do it!"
the only thing about this is the small buttons shortcuts, menus, icons. I love windows mobile and android devices, but I think they somewhat still fail on the practical finger usage. Stylus is so 1990s hahha.
I still have yet to see a truly finger friendly phone OS like the Iphone,
but i also think that multi touch should be widely available to all manufacturers. Apple has patented this, but the palm pre uses multi touch gestures. . anyone has information about this?
Android is a new OS and you can find a lot of free applications and games without any hack.Google wants to attract people that's why they offer free stuff.I think hero is good but I would prefer a bigger screen.
You mentioned something about the resolution setting in the camera being very low. Is it lower than what a 5 megapixel camera should provide? I don't understand.
Also, what are your comments on the size (including the chin). I had previously settled on the galaxy, even after the hero was announced, but upon learning the galaxy only has a pathetic 128MB of RAM, I might want to get this instead.
Bloody android phones, each one has to have a single flaw that really brings the performance down.
you say that like there aren't hacks for android. the difference is that with any android device, you can hack it so that literally anything is possible with the given hardware. people only buy the iphone because it looks nice and is the "cool" thing to have. it's embarrassing to have to hack a phone to change the default background.
so? wtf is ur problem if ppl lik this just bcuz palm pre has better advanced shit doesnt mean they shud just change to spring u loser i pity u hating on videos cuz u dont have aby life
so this is not a windows mobile? damn it I need to buy a windows mobile for work as our IT dep do not like blackberry they asked me to buy a windows mobile. i really really imencely dislike all windows mobiles coz of their super ugly designs even all the HTCs. i was looking in youtube to find a HTC or other windows mobile which looks ok and got really excited when i saw the HTC hero but now they say it isnt windows mobile! someone can reccomend any windows mobile device that looks ok? not omnia!
the new ui doesnt seem to slow down the phone.... loading apps seem to be pretty snappy... best yet... facebook/flicker seem to be "integrated" with the phone (not like separate apps?) something that even palm pre hasnt achieved.... this is good...this..... is...... goooddd...
i just buyed/ordred this phone....... get it in a few days :D hate to w8 but im happy if i just get it :)

Android is a new OS and you can find a lot of free applications and games without any hack.Google wants to attract people that's why they offer free stuff.I think hero is good but I would prefer a bigger screen.

You mentioned something about the resolution setting in the camera being very low. Is it lower than what a 5 megapixel camera should provide? I don't understand.
Also, what are your comments on the size (including the chin). I had previously settled on the galaxy, even after the hero was announced, but upon learning the galaxy only has a pathetic 128MB of RAM, I might want to get this instead.
Bloody android phones, each one has to have a single flaw that really brings the performance down.

You hack the iphone to customize it...
This you can customize already

also you get free games. and a whole bunch of other crap. As long as the dev team( plp that hack iphone) keep hacking plp will keep buying iphone.
rickyboy727547 2 years ago
you say that like there aren't hacks for android. the difference is that with any android device, you can hack it so that literally anything is possible with the given hardware. people only buy the iphone because it looks nice and is the "cool" thing to have. it's embarrassing to have to hack a phone to change the default background.

This is a huge step up from the G1. Pre and Hero are both worthy competitors to the iPhone.

Android and WebOS(Palm-Pre) are both far more advanced mobile Operating Systems. Pity you're stuck with Windows.

the new ui doesnt seem to slow down the phone.... loading apps seem to be pretty snappy... best yet... facebook/flicker seem to be "integrated" with the phone (not like separate apps?) something that even palm pre hasnt achieved.... this is good...this..... is...... goooddd...

You're wrong. FAIL.
They nearly doubled the speed of the processor. Rumour has it that it's WAY more intelligent than you are.

This looks like a great phone. This Android phone threatens to open the floodgates of uber cool phones.
Iphone fans leave android powered phones alone, if you don't like them leave them to us who love.
You cant stop android phones taking over the world, it is just a matter of time.
