[icedxtear]

[thecoolestfreak]

[zero1386]

[kelseybear367]

WOW. that phone is really cool - I played with in the sprint store- I really enjoy it alot! - I think my parents are thinking about getting the phones (:

[drzbigpitbull19]

@spam91504 you should of just waited for the evo its has more prossesing power and etc.

[LakeRafiD]

@spam91504

Thank you for your review. You guys sound really happy with your Heroes.

[LakeRafiD]

This looks like a cool phone. Far better than my crappy Instinct s30. I'm looking to get either this phone or the new EVO.

[slipknotdudegreg]

can u download apps for it ??? plzz tell mre

[jt2386]

@slipknotdudegreg Of course NOT.

[heyitsmeeee666]

So I'm guessing there is no slide out keyboard. :( I'm gonna miss those little buttons.

[JasnoGT]

Wow you have the rare one that dosent say google on the back... interesting.

Notice how they tried to underplay the "htc" branding on these phones.

The newer ones have HTC stamped big and proud cause they know they're kicking everyone's asses. haha.

I've had this phone for a week and love it.

[ExclusiveGslick]

Go check out my rooted nexus one videos, sub while you are at it.

[crazyygirl2010]

I have this phone but does anyone know how to set a ringer for a notification like a text message. I downloaded ringers and i can set it as my incoming calls but not my texts. So can anyone tell me how to set a ringer for texts instead of beeping.

[Priscilla060]

the pre is better

[daonejorge]

@Priscilla060 ha the pre is a fail.

[crazyygirl2010]

thanks reneesheldon....also one more question. I have no idea how to get to the games? Is there games already on there or do you have to buy them? If so is there anywhere i can go to get free games?

[mikeellert]

I bought this phone after watching this video. It is all this and more. Happy camper.

[crazyygirl2010]

i just got this phone and its amazing. Although i dont know how to send picture mail. Everytime i try it says that the message size is reached. Does anyone know how to send picture mail?

[reneesheldon]

2 options. 1 go into your photo album click on pic, click menu, click more, click crop. this will bring up a box that you can move to crop around the picture and this cropped picture is the size that you can use in the stock messaging to send. OR. you can download handcent and this texting app will automatically resize your pics. any questions, hit me up on here or google talk, twitter,or facebook. all same user name: reneesheldon

[Alfi1589]

looks very nice. but inthe video it seemed as it lagged or was unresponsive at times. am I mistaken?

[rustyshackelfordism]

WANTTTTTTTTTTT

[swthrtk3ri]

I LOVE MY HERO!!! =) ITS AWESOME!!!

[oldschoolm]

Well I'm mainly interested in the nexus one for sprint but if it doesn't come out by April I'll get the htc hero and I will probally get a cover for it too since I tend to drop my phone alot. Well if they do come out with any other phones that are interesting I might look into there but for now this is what I got. Thanks for answering my questions guys.

[AeonFlux2011]

Delete Google Skynet OS AKA Google Chrome and there shitty Spyware Phones which record everything you do on your phone. I downloaded Google Chrome Once deleted all 4 of my Browsers Permanently! Had to Manually System Restore my system. Same thing happened when I Download Google Web Accellerator. Google is Evil don't trust them with your Data. They Work for the Illuminati Elite, Bilderbergers.

[iREALLYloveYOU46]

thats mine ^ (:

love it

[bigslayer67]

is the moment capacative

[ThisGuyLovesMusic]

@bigslayer67 yes

[oldschoolm]

I might get this phone in April if a better phone don't come out but does this phone come in any other color?

[ThisGuyLovesMusic]

@oldschoolm not for sprint, but the gsm version comes in black and white (gsm= the version with the chin)

[dudewtfwtf1]

nexus one, but I heard it's only selling through google will not be in sprint stores. If nexus one is not coming out for sprint in april I'll also get htc hero.

[dudewtfwtf1]

other thing, by april hero should be running android 2.1 which is the latest

[GuitarHeroDreamOn]

@dudewtfwtf1 its may already and it dosent have it.....i think

[dudewtfwtf1]

@GuitarHeroDreamOn as of TODAY we got 2.1! ha! you should have waited a day before you said that! I finally got google navigation!

[mrrugburn911]

@oldschoolm: no i'm pretty sure this is the only color. you can buy other colored covers however.

not sure if sprint is coming out with many new phones by April, though it is rumored they might get the new HTC phone with Android later on this year (Supersonic?)

[reneesheldon]

yeah not only can you buy covers & cases, but you can also get skins. all kinds of customizing options for this phone. it's fantastic.

[benthehen07]

the sense ui is amazing good video. this phone is an innovater. mad companies gonna try and copy this idk if they did but they should have gottin it patented.

[benthehen07]

damn yo i feel sorry for that kid below who said he gettin his in may. im gettin mine next month i can barely wait. and he gettin his in may. yo you should talk to htc they probly giv you one for free for waitin that long. KUDOS to you ma nigga for real

[fmoham01]

It looks very slow.....

[lilcrow70]

Thinking about switching to sprint and to a Hero... this is the most helpful video so far!

[CalebRulez2]

This phone is mine come May!!!

[xAriZonaBoyx]

Does that phone have a sim card ?

[PiPerson95]

No, it's CDMA, not GSM. Sprint and Verizon have no SIM card, AT&T and T-Mobile do. International/World phones, such as the Blackberry Tour, also use SIM cards while outside the US.

[PiPerson95]

No SIM card, it's CDMA

[thomasmuffs]

love the phone wish it came with flash for the camera

[truthaddict11]

thanks for the review. I have been looking for a new phone and am kinda fed up with palm crashing all the time and don't want to be on att's iphone plan the HTC phone looks good. what's the learning curve for someone comming from a traditional smart phone layout. currently use palm centro

[orpheus03]

I have this phone, and the performance is excellent. Never, and I mean never, are there any slowdowns. I have however put an 8gb class 6 microsd card in it.

[cellsucks]

What does the card do? Also, does anyone know if you can download droid 2.0 from the phone when it comes out?

[orpheus03]

The class 6 does help with write/view speed in terms of saving/viewing pics and videos on the camera. It also may help if you rig your phone to run apps of the microsd card.

[ihateurvid]

Putting an '8gb class 6 microsd' in it has NOTHING to do with the 'performance' of the phone, only the amount of extra shit it can hold. God you are stupid.

[unDISTURBED95]

the phone isnt this laggy, its a prereleased build.

[loliong]

The phone was great overall, but the browser was just not good enough, no, im quite happy with my palm pre atm.

[MrsStuartlovanumba2]

fone looks amazing. 5.0 mp. seriously? amazing!!

[loliong]

I had the phone, and i dont mean to burst your bubble, but its not that amazing.

[arielmonkey12]

is it as laggy as it seems on this video?

[llamasrage]

I'm not sure but that looks pretty awful. I heard this one has upgraded hardware, but that's still some pretty bad performance :(

[HavokHaze5]

Yes, there is a LANYARD HOLDER

[skwidwerd]

where?

[HavokHaze5]

bottom back next to usb

[luckyninjaXXX]

someone please tell me if there is a LANYARD HOLDER please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brianv3ntura]

hmmm... i am just putting in my 2 cents. i would say the G1 is the best android phone currently available for US market

reason? there are only 2 android phones currently available. sprint htc hero is not being yet available for public, so its considered NOT available

[brianv3ntura]

sprint htc hero is not yet available**

[TonyMitchelldotnet]

Nothing about the 5MP camera? Considering it's Sprint's first camera over 3MP you'd think that they'd do 20 seconds on the camera and video quality. Yet he spends over a minute showing us the soft plastic on the back and silver trim.

5MP camera? How is it!

Video recording? How is it!

Sure it can stream porno and the Seattle CrapHawks but .....

Meh, I'll just buy it and if I don't like it take it back to BestBuy

[lushbus]

how much can i play with the phone befor i charge it iam talking about messing with the phone all day

[gwlaw99]

Next time use a little less inflection in your voice. This was a bit over the top.

[Kev50027]

Great video! Thanks!

[Obeckk]

No Proximity sensor? How do you turn the screen off during calls? BTW, thanks for the great vid.

[rosuhere]

i was surprised to hear that as well, considering it has the accelerometer and the ambient light sensor... just went thru the owner's manual and i didn't see anything about the proximity sensor, sux...

[strhessed]

Is it running Android 1.5 or 1.6 ?

[palmsolo]

Android 1.5 with HTC's customization on top.

[ShakoSaber18]

@palmsolo Its now running 2.1 as of last month.

[JasnoGT]

@ShakoSaber18

Im running 2.1 now....wow. its like a new phone....like a little droid incredible ..haha!

[JustNana212]

is this an older version of the ROM? everything seems slower than other videos on this device

[rosuhere]

+1, i noticed that too...

[loseverette]

Thanks for the vid man, i cant wait to pick this up friday or sunday!!! I hope i can text on it as i do with my instinct!!! Thats my main concern. The two capacitive screens i have typed on bein the iphone and mytouch, i texted horribly but the keypad looks nice and big in landscape mode so will see. thanks
