hi, i hv jus bought this phone but whenever i go to planet 3 to install skype it says that its not compatible to download it.Could you help me in this matter by tellin hw did u actually install skype on htc hero frm planet 3??
Hello, i wonder if i buy HTC Hero as a sim free and then go to Three and take a sim card(pay as you go plan) , will i able to use it?( free Skype and so on…) ?
@spayder18 I think you should be able to. Three advertise their PAYG account as just bring a 3G phone and get free Skype. You have to be using the Three version of Skype though for it to be free and you can download that from the 'Planet Three' website on the phones browser. If you do get a Hero make sure it's got a later version of Android. 1.5 is a bit slow and buggy compared to the 2.x versions. Good luck.
@BinarySignal Thank you very much for your reply. Although i got more questions to ask . 1.Does it have multitasking( e.g. turn on skype ,then minimize it and write an sms or something. ) ? 2. And if i will have 1.5 android version, will i be able to upgrade it?
@spayder18 Yes Andriod does do multitasking so on the Hero you can keep Skype running in the background and perform other actions. I am not sure if upgrade will be a simple 'over the air' process perform on the device or if you would need to manually install a newer version of Andriod. This is not something I tried on the review unit I had. I would check on Hero.MoDaCo.com which is a great forum especially for the HTC Hero.
You might find it in the Android Marketplace. I actually installed it from my mobile phone carriers mobile website. I am with Three in the UK and they provide their own version off of their mobile homepage.
