i'm wanting to get this phone but at the sprint store their model won't rotate the keyboard when turned sideways. I need to know if that's a software update or something? Please someone let me know.
@waffles497 The Hero, as I have tested, can rotate the keyboard in almost every app except "contacts." There was a minor update late last year but I'm almost positive that the Hero could perform this keyboard rotation before then. Hope this helps.
Holy crap man it's a capasative touch screen which means it's heat sensative there is no need to slam your nails on the screen. Electronics are not meant to be slamed around. Maybe that is why you are getting lagg
I want to copy a picture from my face book page to add as someones contact photo. Why cant I with my Hero? Or if some one send me a pic can I save to the phone and then add it to there contact info?
I've seen multiple people have lag/trouble with the widgets, but they seem kind of useless to me in general anyway. Why would you want to flip through those pages if you could have the entire application at your fingertips faster, with all your texts or emails? So, for me the performance of those widgets doesn't matter because they seem useless to me, the app does everything better.
That's actually really funny. I am either buying the Hero or the other Sprint Android phone, the Moment in November. I haven't owned an iPhone either. I just think for email it is silly to flip through the card view. I am not saying all widgets are dumb, just the email message card view widget. Yes, I would much rather launch an app for that (after a notification), but not everything, I definitely see the value in widgets, just not how HTC's email widget is set up.

It's probably just a damaged phone from being handled and abused in the store.

So you would rather launch an application for everything?
On one page you could have your weather, upcoming appointments, sports scores, etc. all without launching a single application.
I don't see how launching each single application could be faster or efficient.
Just admit that you are an iphone fanboy and are threatened by android.
