HTC Hero, Android and Sense UI powered at pestaola.gr

[sriv1211]

Unfortunately the Hero is not as fast as shown, but it was still an amazing introduction android phone!

[Ivanov11590]

available for at&t??

[xBICYCLEx]

im all for sense ui, but when i buy an android powered device, i want one that doesnt look like win mo 6.5.

[zenyagami]

for example the people who are trying port android or port android to other devices, in this device can be use this sense?

[WilliefreshTV]

whats the name of this song ?

i want it no homo

lol

[ericc191]

I like that song, lol.

[arronhunt]

I want

[Tsakos17]

Πολύ καλό το review, αρχίζω εκτός απο το N900 να λατρεύω και τα HTC's (με android πάντα). Keep up the great work Titanas!

[gabynita]

Can you get this UI on the HTC Magic?

[x2xshaunx2x]

im getting it just for all the pretty watches

[jive1926]

Never thought I'd say this but the Android GUI looks better than the iPhone. Agree / Disagree?

[asdfz0mg]

This isn't the original Android UI though. It's modified by HTC and it's called HTC Sense. I agree it's looking totally better than iPhone though.

[cassnate6259]

Definitely agree.. but remember that on the Hero, it is running Android with the HTC Sense UI overlay, which looks different from the standard Android OS.

That being said, I think Sense UI on android is the most attractive UI out there hands down.

[sysFail81]

what about the batery with so many fancy graphs? Does it lasts enough to actually finish a call?

[Suburbankidd]

1 ghz processor, simply amazing.

[Titanas]

528MHz CPU

[Suburbankidd]

I was talking about the HD2, also supporting sense UI

[samo642]

The HD2 has WinMO 6.5, unless you're talking about modifying it

[ChibiZone]

it's weird o.o htc renamed touchflo 3d to sense ui but it's different from this phone's sense ui

[cooombooo]

Wow, you can check the weather in at least 4 different ways!!!!!

[bachlogic1]

Since this phone is slated for Sprint and I am with Verizon, does anyone know if the Sense UI will be able to be ported over to the Touch Pro 2 or the Diamond Touch 2? Both of which are slated for Verizon. I am between this set up or maybe the Omnia 2 with WinMo 6.5 when released. Thanks for your input.

[Titanas]

You will need to choose between hacked ROMs and officials ROMs. The hacked ones are out already. The official ones are waiting HTC approval, copyright stuff etc

[skittleschocolate]

there is a version of this now on verizon called the droid eris. i gotta say, verizon released 3 really awesome smart phones last week. bb storm 2, droid, and droid eris.

[nitsuj1231]

i can't decide between the bb storm 2, or the motorola droid, someone help me out here, im leaning more towards the BB.

[skittleschocolate]

play with both of them. theres another update on the droid, and its really quick now. i want it so bad. i gotta wait till july tho.

[G1rootuser]

Droid=Bull.

G1= Wonderful. My G1 is running the UI in this vide. Check out my channed and my info, and google up Root your G1, but the BB storm is sexy, but cant be hacked much...

[jaiveer17]

diont buy the storm.. i repent.. but now i have sliod it.. go for android.!

[Electrodeath0]

Definitely Droid.

[ThisGuyLovesMusic]

@nitsuj1231 Driod...faster processor, better UI, better camera, the list goes on lol

also by "todays standards" Blackberry is a brand sought out as "outdated"

plus the droid has a physical keyboard :)

(I tried it, and found it to be a little cramped but if you have smaller fingers it'll work for you!!)

[MobyTurbo]

@nitsuj1231 don't get the Storm, it has bad reviews. If you must get a BB, get one with a keyboard, their touchscreen models are horrible.

[SepradistPhantom]

I only set out to get a new budget phone... now i want this OS and UI so much it hurts =P

[ianoreo]

Thats quite pretty

[espica]

Looks great.

[mascbp10]

Anyone know the name of this song?

iwantthisphonesobadbutitsnever­comingtoverizonbecauseverizonn­evergetsgoodphonesmotherfuckin­ggoddammitishouldswitchcarrier­s

[Dude1112]

Driod.

[luqven]

this looks like a crazy nice phone only apple just has such a huge developer fan base for the appstore that im gonna wait on even considering google phones until their appstore groes...a lot...

[wreiad]

Android looks a lot better now.

[kcallens]

idd, it has multi-touch check 3:10. Anyone want to buy a samsung omnia ? I'm going for the hero :-p

(sorry for my english)

[ryu3180]

Apple iPhone what? iTouch who?

[hoya0]

Anyone know what's the music playing ?

Anyway I 'm waiting for HTC Hero, I like the Magic design but oo bqd it can't get Sense UI

[stratommy]

You are wrong and this is no bad :D

As htc stated, dream and magic will have sense ui thanks to an update that will be released in a few months

[briggimus]

Some Magics will. The Dreams, probably not. Hardware is not good enough apparently.

[Abebil]

I want a HTC Hero over an iPhone anyday, cos once HTC incorporates multi-touch, i'm sold.

The integration of apps like Footprints(looks better than on Touch Cruise 09) with maps and others makes it a wholesome experience. :D

[omgitsarhino]

the bad part is that these touch screen phones other than the iPhone use resistive displays which does not allow for multi-touch, and the companies are not going to change because of costs...

[theonlyix]

Oh yes they do. Multi touch is coming.

Its been some sort of patent dispute with Apple afaik but it seems resolved as the Pre has it and Android WILL have it.

[Egonny9]

HTC Hero uses multi-touch, check out the browser and photo's

[Rainbowing44]

I really want this D=

[zDisturbed1]

YEa its pretty sweet i am running it on my g1 and love it

[trigga82]

thats awesome, i wanna go ahead and flash mine... but im just hesitant cuz i dont wanna brick it... can u possibly point me in the right direction???

[trigga82]

i already got it, its so awesome...

[trigga82]

it would be so cool if it could be supported on the g1, or if they release a phone with a physical keyboard that uses this UI... I dunno bout everyone but i love having the physical keyboard

[europrg09]

Yes! The full size, physical keyboard is such a plus. Glad someone else likes that about the G1.

[ulfenstyle]

this one beats everyphone ever made!!!!!!

[Plasmapyro17]

Wholy crap of ages this is something good!!!!!!

,h

[Talmonisoni]

if the phone itself would look a little bit better i would buy it. Sense is great ! . but the chin and the hardbuttons dont match my taste.

I hope they release a nicer looking phone with sense soon

[Titanas]

There are rumors that the Sense UI might be available for other phones too, if they managed to get over the legal / brand obstacles with Google and carriers. I wouldn't be surprised if we see hacked Hero ROMs for older HTC Android phones though.

[hallal55]

whats the diff between the sense and the android...like is the sense an add on to the android?

[Titanas]

Sense is the UI (User Interface), meaning all the nice graphics and stuff you see and use to operate the phone.

Android is the OS that Sense is built on top of it.

[hallal55]

oh okay so it will stitll feel as the older android phones just with a new touch?

[Titanas]

Not sure what do you mean by older. It run Android 1.5 aka Cupcake which is the latest version of Android at the moment.

[hallal55]

i ment will the G1 and g2 (older android phone )wil they hae the sense?

[trigga82]

supposedly they are not going to have it on any google branded phones, but over at xda developers they have ported it to run on the G1, I'm running it now, and its awesome

[labaom]

It looks really nice. When is it coming to USA?

[Titanas]

No idea yet.. UK gets it in mid July. Let's hope for everybody else..

[xZombonic]

I wish I had an HTC Hero, the UI looks great!

[ShipBoMovingPictures]

this is an iPhone killer it should come to the US

[xZombonic]

I wish they would keep the original name instead of giving it something stupid like "The T-Mobile G1"

[mhmmhello]

I love the UI, but I wish the HTC Hero wasn't curved near the bottom.

[Titanas]

I think it's a recipe that works and they stick with it. The first HTC Android phone, the G1, had it an not pretty much all HTC new phones have it. I played with the Magic today (it has the same curve) and it felt very good.

[Minkiu]

Apart from all this "cool" stuff that makes so nice to interacte, it's gonna be the first ANDROID phone with FLASH.

Others won't have until October, Adobe is working on it.

c ya.

[Titanas]

You're absolutely right on this one!

[ranjansatya1457]

Hey i really like this phone... :)

[zagatbuzz]

NIce Demo well done!

[pejoluck]

I think it'll be my next phone :-)

[Titanas]

Lucky you.. if you live in UK. It's coming there in July

[Brammell]

3:10 multi touch?

[Titanas]

Yeap, looks like it's multi touch!!!

[naoussara]

Do we know the song name?

[ramasubbu]

Good competition is coming up. iPhone vs Palm Pre vs HTC Hero. Wondering about next release of Windows CE, how it is going to better unique than all these.

[jeembomb]

Is it known what carrier this will be on in the US yet?

[Titanas]

No idea about US availability as of now. Sorry :/

[CompHenry]

I also want this to be my next phone. Do you know when it is coming out and what UK providers will have it?

[Titanas]

July. Exclusively in Orange for some time

[CompHenry]

Thats good because i'm already on Orange Contract, thanks

[GeekAggro]

I think this will be my next phone.

[Titanas]

Same here :)

[L1SE19]

this or the HTC touch HD.

i really like the look of this, want to know the extensibility of android though.

[Titanas]

This one fore sure. Hero is way better than the Touch HD.

[L1SE19]

why though? i like the windows OS, but i've never used an android phone. does the sense UI limit any features of android?

[Titanas]

Windows Mobile is old, very old. Unless you need the real estate of the Touch HD screen, Android does anything for you, plus the Sense UI.

..and no, tt doesn't limit anything. It's just a UI

[lexyota]

you dont know what ya talkin bout so SHADDAP!
