  • wow takes quite long to start up :|

  • I've used a g1 and it was laggy, lowres, but HTC did a good job at designing it to be the first Android phone

  • HTC hero I would prefer

  • htc hero or htc g1

    

  • This was my first smartphone

  • this is not original unboxing

  • worst phone ever

  • worst phone ever

  • @VansAddict50 is it really a bad phone? i wanna buy me 1?

  • he looks like will ferrel

  • who the crap are u???????????????????

  • hijoputa con la remera. no venden franelas en yanquilandia???

  • where can iget a free htc hero in the cleveland ohio area

  • Hi this John and I talk at 100mph

  • is it really comin to att this year

  • what are the APN settings for this phone on AT&T?

  • ok i like the htc hero but they are pretty expensive and i was wondering is not the same as the my touch 3g? i know something about the screen being different but besides tat are they not the same or are they different? please some one tel me because i want a new phone and im the u.s. so are they or are they not which one is better then? and how can i get one unlocked? to work in att or tmobile (have tracphone and want a new phone) please help!

  • htc hero has sense laid over the stock android so it has nicer look it has sense widgets its nicer but if i were you i would say get the mytouch because the hero unlocked does not have 3g you would be on edge...just go with the mytouch and root it then install a custom rom and it will run great

  • can the hero's unlock screen be made to be like the g1's pattern unlock?

  • the hero has the option to set a pattern unlock

  • does that apply to the u.s. made models too? and if it does, how do you access it?

  • Yes...

  • I think I am going to have to kill these lights here!! that makes me wonder what will sunlight do?

  • The G1 is a Brick, anyone caught with a G1 should get arrested for carrying around a DEADLY WEAPON

  • shut up

  • u must have one.....didnt mean to hurt your feeling!

  • well im boutta get a htc dragon when it come out anyway!

  • htc hd2 with the snapdragon 1ghz processor.

    awesome phone

  • LMAO!

  • im pretty sure he previously opened the package before. thats why the finger print is there.

  • There was a huge fingerprint on the screen on the right hand side in the middle... when he took it out of the wrapper...

  • no keyboard!that's dissapointing.ill keep my g1..

  • im thinking of buying the hero... but i found out the sprint version just came out,,, whats the difference? and im in the middle east, can someone tell me if its useful or useless there ...

  • next time put off the autofocus on ur camera :)

  • hopefully during the year they will fix the lag and give us more updates Via Adroid Store Im new to android and Im really liking it.

  • it made me feel bad about my g1 D:

  • Europeans and there classic packaging. And damm sure beats the mytouch but unfortunatly its only in europe i think

  • Thats not the european packaging either. Mine (I'm from the UK) came in a really nice box. Kind of like an iPhone box but white and very colourful.

  • thats the demo version of the phone thats why its a different box

  • Thanks for the ipod touch comparison vs htc hero - helped me a lot :)

  • Great thanks John

  • hoiw much colour has the screen

  • does the hero have a microsd slot?

  • Yes, next to the battery.

  • lol it looks like my tv remote without the buttons that or the old style garage door openers

  • It does! look like an old style garage opener :D

  • loser

  • blah blah blah piece of shit

  • too slow for start up...shit man

  • this looks sooo nice

  • if anyone knows.. is it true that the iPhone 3G costs 99$ only?

  • you know that apple has a website that you can easily go to and check... so why waste peoples times?

  • No Stupid... some places sell it for more money.. !

  • yeah.. the iphone 3gs costs 199... and the 3gs is twice as fast

  • witch should i get

    this or the samsung jet????

    i will be using the internet browser alot so with that in mind witch is better for me???

  • get this it would go better than the samsung jet if you get me like this looks more pro than samsung jet nd samsung jet has a silly box in the biddle at the bottom :/

  • John fuck all these whiney gay brats that want to have gay sex with Noah good unboxing keep it up

  • Is it better than the iPhone?

  • Probably only batterywise, but I'd go with the iPhone over anything, because its so familiar and it seems like every other company is copying Apple...

  • Yhea.. your right,..

  • great review, promising looking phone

  • did anyone notice the download button, $0.99

  • No shit, WTF!!!

  • why are these phones oddly shaped?

  • Noa...Wait, this isn't noah!

  • Finally someone else than that noah apple fanboy.

    Keep it up john

  • android will suck until its built-in email can sync with ms outlook.

    why does it take so long for a good android phone to come out to the USA?

    i cant get rid of my iphone, when is google and all the manufacturers going to help?

  • that is not European version that's a pre production unit.

    Its only for reviewers and the HTC people.

    NOAH FTW!

  • Thanks for introducing us to this phone, John, you guys at PhoneDog rock. :)

  • it looks like the G1 without the qwerty

  • what a brick

  • wow that phone looks sick. Does it come out for alltel or verizon wireless?

  • at&t

  • john is cool, but noah is the best

  • wow i thought my phone was big, THIS THING IS HUGE!!!

  • the hero is my touch 3g for t-mobile ri8ght?

  • the the htc magic is the mytouch 3g. the hero is a completely different phone that is most likely going to at&t before t-mobile

  • nopee

  • what service is this for

  • Unboxings are fun! :)

  • I like noah and John!

    all the other phonedogs suck. They make the whole unboxing experience BORING.

    But you and noah always throw in funny jokes.

    RIGHT ON!!!

  • Thats a HUGE phone!

  • noaaaah were the hell are you men fuck

  • i cant wait till this phone comes out in the US

  • he's much better, Noah is a goof ball and has no idea what he's talking about. He actually can interpret words unlike the former.

  • i think you and know do about the same. i like you both. dont let yungtese get you down.

  • Noah has so much personality, its awesome for youtube vids.

  • at the start u did.....

  • You Speak WAY too fast!

  • NOAHHHHHH

  • U SUCK NOAH RULES!

  • OMG my carrier never gets the good phones.

  • what carrier?

    nextel?

    boost mobile?

  • Sprint

  • come on guys stop hating on the guy, hes good too and hes just doing what he loves, and his job....noah is great, and one of the best...but dont be mean , i think you did a good job dude! keep it up!

  • Ya, i agree, you did fine!

  • haha droiddog nice

  • ....u shud really compare phones...not ipod touches...still ur ok...noahs better...u shud just stick to boring android software crap...no offense

  • john, good review

    don't think about people saying your boaring the only boring mobile reviewer in the whole youtube is phonearena

  • haha i like noah better too but ur definitely better at putting the battery cases on than noah

  • since when does htc do 3.5m jacks?

  • that inward chin thingy looks really strange..but good vid by the way

  • Where is noah?

  • stfu

  • im sorry to the guy in the video..but noah is the reason i watch phone dog videos..this is just booooooring.

  • Wow the phone looks sick!

  • Good video. I am Noah fan but John is growing on me. Who wears massimo anymore?! JK! Awesome of HTC to send a review model.

  • why is there a trackball when its a touch screen. when will you ever use the trackball?

  • this is extremely boring, noah should only do these.

  • noah is better

  • This phone is sexy. I'm still pissed about them taking away the hardware keyboard though.

  • NOAH!

    NOAH!

    NOAH!

    NOT THIS GUY

  • This guy is fine.

  • When this comes on us carriers, which will it be on?

  • I'm assuming it will come out strictly to T-Mobile at first release.

  • you'd think they'd fix that ugly chin... guess not...

  • Does anyone know when this will be coming to the U.S & if T-Mobile will be carrying this phone????

  • if im correct this is a t-mobile phone..

  • auctally no atm. they are introducing the mytouch instead which is entirely different

  • wow shut up.

  • Why did they continue with the chin crap?

    Did they not read the reviews all over the web?

    Look cool, I'd hold off till they fix it....physically

  • i like the chin crap, lol... if u drop it on its face the screen will NEVER hit the floor, which atleast for me is a life saver cuz i already dropped my g1 a thousand times on its face & my screen is PERFECT!

  • oh true never thought about that, my friend had the g1 and it was pretty hard to hold landscape but true thanks for pointin it out lol

    P.S. nice username :)

  • The chin is a unique physical aspect that HTC purposely puts on all their phones. They've mentioned that several times in their press conferences. I don't know if they're going to change it anytime soon. They claim that it allows them to place a trackerball in the phone easier. I know it can be very annoying though. I have a G1 and it sticks out like a sore thumb thanks to that "chin."

  • not too fond of this guy he goes 2 fast like he's high on drugs or summin and all the accessories in the box you dont get to see becos hes positioned the camera wrong

    sorry but pointless video!

    bring back noah :D

  • Looks like a hockey stick.

  • The bottom part looks real crap.

  • what company is this phone goin to be for?

  • MUGEN POWER! lol

  • nice looking phone.

  • I tried this phone and I liked it :)

  • hmm i like the shape and all

    i think i might try to get it

  • lol, the last part is hilarious

  • its also called the jesus phone

  • the angle at the botton sux. i wish the device was all flat. that botton edge will stick out in your pocket and be very annoying.

    not to mention the phone its self is fat allready.

  • I WANT THIS ONE! looks better than my G1. :D

  • everybody is a fan of noah,but good job,nobody can mess up a unboxing,just wanted to see the u.i,but i'll be waiting for your next vid,hurrry please,lol

  • omg it looks like the freaken g1... same shit

  • this is a cool phone but the tail thing on the bottom is retarded

  • you people are really ignorant

  • This phone has a strange appeal to it.

    I think I like it.

  • What provider is this for, Is it coming to the united states anytime soon?

  • Its coming to the states sometime in 2009, no actually release date set yet, T-Mobile will be the first carrier to get it.

  • People should give some respect to John. He is just as knowledgeable as Noah is.

    Keep the good work John!

  • ahhhhhhhhh......

  • Android FTW!!!

     Hero>Mytouch 3G

  • oh and btw this phone looks ugly physically

  • ur stupid ... this phone is sexy!

    the only reason u say that is because u like noah better than john

    i like noah but i will stick up for john!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wtf does the phone looking ugly have to do with noah and john...i think your the stupid one overhere and thats just my opinion if i think the phone is ugly so get ur facts right

  • i wasnt talking to u specifically about john

    and noah i was talking about all te other comments dissing john.

    srry u missunderstood.

  • to be honest john is fine but I jus liked Noah more thats all, we both misunderstood each other

  • Comment removed

  • okay im all for john but i really didnt liek this unbowing i hope noah makes one i just think that noah is just better at it sorry

  • I'm bummed about the lacking teflon coating, but IT'S ALMOST HERE! :D

  • TMOBILE BITCH :))

    i got the g1 too

  • dude the hero isnt going to tmobile you know that right?

  • next time leave the lights on but go to the left or right. And all the talk about smudging ... wasn't much of an unboxing more talk than showing aspects of the phone. Yeah we saw the curves n thickness but come on .. show us some apps

  • why doesnt it have a qwerty?

  • wtf
