A week with the HTC Hero - Day 7 (Part 3)

[sherrpace]

I watched all of your HTC Hero videos in this series and I wanted to take the time to thank you for the excellent and informative job you did! I am getting my phone soon and can't wait to try it out.

[maverick00754]

hi great vids but can some one tell me can you use your mp3 songs as ringtones and message alerts thank you lee

[AlienVare]

Are there any good gun-apps for the Hero,like there are on the iPhone?

[StickManSR]

@AlienVare lots, theres even a app to find you car in a carpark.

[AlienVare]

Thanks! I can't wait for my Hero, arriving in a few days!!! I hope I picked the right phone.. :D

[Algardraug]

Thank you! These videos have been most helpful. Today I ordered a hero to a local store, so I will have one tomorrow or the day after that. I am very anxious to get it and the song "I need a hero" is stuck in my head.

[ThijsyJC]

perhaps I missed it, but how is the video playback and library? Saying I would like to play a movie on my MicroSD card?

[mcv1900]

Can you open PDF, DOC, XLS, PPS file formats????? Can you install another GPS software like tomtom or igo maps....etc

[azan0borg]

There is comming a main gps map company with a version soon. And yes there is office options out of the box (htink he even mentions it in day 2 or so) also pdf ofcourse

[samuraiBSD]

You can get TeleNav on the G1, so I assume it will work on this build of Android too...I'm not 100% sure, but I can't think of a technical reason why it wouldn't work.

[polarenper91]

Thanks a lot for all of your HTC hero videos!

[flipanywere]

[dobsiin]

bad weather

good review

[TokShogun]

the notif. bar disappears while browsing?

[Rdissss]

Really nice review, thanks mate

[chingf0rd]

Thanks for the hands-on - I see from your tweets that you've got another one today! I am so fed up with WinMo and am looking forward to the Hero - thing is, I would like a choice of sim-free colours and not just white...I like graphite but that is an Orange exclusive. Boo.

Also, how do you find the on-screen keyboard? All touch screen keyboards that I've tried are really finnicky. That's the only thing I would miss from my Touch Pro (that and PockeTwit!).

[Riverblue87]

I have a question and I think a lot of people want to know this too.

When you go to albums, facebook or flickr( in the section of a contact person) , can you also see the comments made by people on a picture? And add a comment? Or can you only see the pictures and do you have to open the application by itself then to view the comments or add a comment?

I hope you can answer this question. Thank you.

[idcy]

is it true it cant save a SMS history? so, it wont keep your received/sent text messages?

[wyattearp88]

sorry another question is the touch screen is it scatch resistance?

[wyattearp88]

i want to know 1 thing... the battery life of HTC hero

[Wubzorz]

Thanks for all the videos you posted. I watched them all and they really give an in depth review of a phone you don't see anywhere else. Just a big thumbs up for the last week worth of vids!

[Jzar89]

Wow the backup camera is so much better, The Hero looks gorgeous.

Thank for all these videos. Its really appreciated.

[aireX90]

Very good reviews!

I haven's seen better reviews than this one. :)

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

[WillHall1989]

Thanks for the reviews mate, very informative and nice to see how it works in the real world :).

[Laxe84]

Wow! Thanks for the great video review! I think you've sold me on a device I knew nothing about just like you did with the HTC Touch Diamond. ;)

Keep up the good work!

[lardbros]

You're a star for doing these in-depth videos. Often, us phone-buyer never get to play with a phone for a week before we buy, so this has helped me choose my new phone!! Thanks very much, i've been waiting for a phone like this from HTC since my trusty SPV C500 on Orange, which i lost :o( This looks like it'll suit me down to the ground!

Thanks again!

[Fyntax10]

I just want to say thank you for making these videos, they really helped me with buying a new cellphone.

I'll hopefully have an "Urban brown" HTC Hero in my mail in less than a couple of weeks.

Thank you!

[umarsiddiqi]

amazing video... yes your backup camera records better quality videos.

[flamingsnot]

Aww they're finished :(! Lol great set of videos, most useful review videos ever! Hopefully I'll have my unlocked Hero by the 23rd July :D

[skelldude]

i love these vids because you have so much time with the phone. can you please tell me if you can use mp3s as ring tones (i assume u can) and if so i am getting this phone :)

[cooleli4]

thanks for answering my myspace question

i think it will be able to work on the finial product

[F1nir]

your backup camera is way better

[kungura]

I"ve said this before and i'll say it again, this sort of review has been the most informative, i've come across. the real world, day to day data and experiences is of GREAT use to us who plan on getting this phone in the coming week or two.

THANK YOU for taking the time and effort to put this together for us!

p.s. are you going to get one? ;-)
