A week with the HTC Hero - Day 1

[sehinpete]

I remember watch this on my g1, a whole 2 YEARS AGO WOW. android has changed so much sense then.

[TheFishman97]

nice phone but your a nob

[weestraws]

sponsered by audi? dude. your in a fucking car!

[Sunzuki2012]

Your accent is funny, what state are you from?

[Indiekid1995]

@lukevertiis aw man that was good what ho jeeves :L

[gvido70]

lol nice vid but i can see you have used it befor cuse i can see some (shit) on the screen

[Kayleighdh]

I have an HTC hero too.. I love it! too bad I can't send or receive things by bluetooth... Anyway, I made it exactly the way I wanted and that's perfect!

[shami1986]

@Kayleighdh You need the 2.1 update for the Bluetooth to work...mine now works =]

[BrianNeathery]

GO AUDI!!! i have an audi and im getting the hero.......i feel like you.... i just need an english accent now, that would be awsome

[testoffaith1972]

Crap one handed review in a car??? What the fuck use is this to anyone!!

[crannagio]

This isnt a review ? He simply talks about the phone, like... oh... theres a button, oh... theres a camera, you press the screen and it makes a noise ?? ha

[OMGBEANS11]

i like how Americans think our british accents are funny.... Remember how you learnt english removed letters from words and made Colour, Color..Plain lasy. haha

[tintinmustdie]

it was the americans that did that, not the english

[felttoaster]

What colour looks better in your opinon

[ZECProductions]

white. it has a scratch resistant teflon coating.

[OMGBEANS11]

@felttoaster White is very very nice. I wanted a brown at first, Because there is horror stories about the white being marked..with use..Which is not in my opinion..I have a crystal Case over mine which protects everything from apparent 'marking'. But the screen itsself is scratch resistant :D, No marks on my phone i am happy.

[Antonw18]

I Get Mine delivered On Monday, I Wasnt Allowed to upgrade instore earlier they dont allow you to until 1month before the end of your contract im pretty sad i was looking forward to getting it today :(

[iPodEverything0]

how do i get the white htc hero, which carrier do u have?

[ilove511]

schlecht

[OmNomNomFap]

why is he allowed to review phones, he talks about it like he's never owned a phone in his life

[467SHARPSHOOTER]

I LIKE THE HAYCH TC HERO! LOL

[SeQueTuQuieresMas]

funny intro

[kissyourghost]

does the htc hero need to be connected to the internet at all times

[ilkataa]

what Audi ?

[myvideos123456123456]

is the white one better than the black one??

[IceCreamMassacre]

@myvideos123456123456

The only difference between them is the colour.

[whawhawha1]

actually the white is coated with teflon which repels dirt or something like that. the textured feel is different.

[pk22cm]

Why not cut the filming and continue WITH the simcard in. A bit annoying.

[craigthebigman]

david mitchell ?

[Speedy6240]

Don't think your voice is an issue, the review is pointless and doesn't really tell you much.

[300zx93nismo1]

UNBOXING! IN THE CAR!. FTW,

PS.thats the shittiest box ive ever seen just so plain

[raritzu]

Crap review... jerky video presented by an incoherent person. Thats just my personal opinion

[ThEuNdYiNg1]

its an unboxing lol and its just the first day go watch the other ones

[slinkylover72]

do you need wi-fi for it ?

[xtruma]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, this dude's got a 6speed manual transmission car...thats gotta be some expensive car, maserati, jaguar, BMW M3, stuff liek that...lol U MIND SENDING ME THAT PHONE ?? thanks haahahahhaa

[chrille885]

hi do you know how to upload a video from htc hero thats a couple of minutes? i did try to copy the video from the sd card to the desktop to the pc but then the audio dissapeard?? have any idea?

the video file from the phone is .3gp

[sanbs12]

THIS HAS A SIM CARD?! so then it works on GSM? so then we can use it on at&t? so why the hell does the US have the androids only in CDMA. Whats up with that?

[OMGtube1]

actually, tmobile, androids main adopter in the US is GSM

[xtruma]

its all about competitiveness dude, and to make sure that consumers dont swtich carriers as they wish, after buying the phone at a cheaper price with a 2year contract...god knows howmany people do that in the US...lol

[ASAD931]

why the hell is he in his car for get a house dick head

[jesper0220]

is the phone good to have in the pocket? It dosent look like, because of it's shape?

[a2aafan]

lmao......u wierdd knw datt :) btw i cudnt c any rabbits but this helpd it persuadd me 2 get it tho taahh ;D

[Techdude201]

I perfer this model over the sprint one

[310xXKiLoXx310]

Yeah it looks muuch sleeker and more attractive than Sprint's.

[mattgreen64]

Whoever you are in this video - you are an iiiiiidiot

[samueldavidadams]

Stop saying Haych T C! Poor presentation skills.

[njipods]

how can u say dont say haych when thats how h is prenouced

[MrPcgeek]

he can say it cos h is not prenounced haych it is prenounced aych (btw, i'm 12, you just got told :P)

[njipods]

[ViEtxHuE2]

[loxaXcracker]

Nice video but the guy keeps saying "Hech-tc" which is pretty irritating...

[saphira512]

[9820131575]

can u repeat the site!

cant understood!!!

[bashirrfc]

Nah just english lol

[ou7shined]

It's just the English that do that "haych" thing. I'm Scottish and find it equally annoying. :)

[olatrials]

i find you annoying

[thebigwletman]

hahaha i find it funny that people talk about the transmission

[iiTudy]

I don't like the design so much, but the UI looks really good.

[xsirhc6x]

you can get a rom for the heros ui and put it on say a g1 if you have/like that phone

[EmoGamer]

I have a white version of the UI running on my G1.

I love it.

Just uploaded a video of it too! =)

[ViEtxHuE2]

i like softwate but i dont like how looks

[yoodorky]

if it comes to sprint, would it come in atleast WHITE?

[Q300Q400]

how many cupholders does it have?

[julianshield1]

18.5* for driving an audi.

[garytanya]

klolomgg its called the mytouch in the usa i think

[gamerfreakUK]

Interesting place for an unboxing lol.

[swiftblaqness]

5 stars for shift knob

[azan0borg]

quessing you are american :)

The rest of the world will never ever go over to automatic gears :)

[w3bmatt]

...The UK has mainly...

[samuraiBSD]

Dude, I'm American and I refuse to drive anything but a manual transmission...I can push my gas mileage up like crazy if I control my own gear-shifting.

Manual transmissions FTW!

[esaedvik]

Shifting manually is just pointless and obsolete :)

[tipton2]

Can you get the HTC Touch Pro2 In England

[04ad07am]

yeah

[akkaification]

so why does the phone show up on the t-mobile web site klolmggmo??

[klolomggmo]

t-mobile USA doesn't have the hero. t-mobile in the UK does

[kevintao95]

yes it is. u can buy it on creglist ect.

[woutwoutwout]

why are you filming this in a car, out of focus?

[klolomggmo]

does the hero have a sd slot

[Limeman333]

yes

[blawnbled]

Did Audi really sponsor this video?

[gamerfreakUK]

wut

[Jeffgreenbank]

Would work better with a good presenter and a guy to work the camera. So cheap a presentation does no justice to the phone!

[KabbishComics]

you're the worst fucking presenter. ever.

[xephiroth66]

seriously????:o

[xephiroth66]

n97 magic or hero??

[thomascb12]

magic

[gt5fx]

hero

[kaineshutler]

Umm, to retards, thats how we say H. Damn fools.

[northpoint43m]

who's selling the hero in the US for $350.00 ??

[coolfx350]

see more

w w w. HTC-Hero. com

[richcranney]

Yes, if you hadn't realised, we English speak English, this is how H is pronounced.

[Miklan2]

Does this (the hero) phone have that secret pinging app. as the HTC Dream had? The myfaves app which made a huge phone bill when you got abroad?

Asking about both the European version and the American one!

[northpoint43m]

new york knight,...its alla matter of taste guy,..i think its cool..and its not 'chinned to save space,..its chinned for functionality,..be surprised how it fits in ur hand,..think flipphone,..against yur face,..reduces noise that way too. its really cool.! i also hate flat phones,..i got a samsung eternity,..nice phone but flat, iphone-esgue,..n cheaper,..but i want that hero!

[XanMan1980]

He keeps saying hacheTC. SAY HTC!

[tr1ggz]

its how people in the UK pronounce the letter H

[jbplaya]

What the hell, His stick shift is backwards! lol.

[chrisvagabond]

in england the cars drive by left

[reytrtrytytrytytrytr]

i think the hero is better than the i phone 3gs

[ollyk22]

I handled the Orange dummy phone today and have completely changed my opinion of this phone... It looks pretty cool! Also does not look as big as expected in the hand and Oranges grey scheme very nice!

[Malithion2001]

phones huge!

[Breno1987Aus]

That twitter screen that i have seen a lot that takes up the whole page; can you get rid of that or is it just permanently set there

[sedohrj87]

god why dont you do this on a mounted camera so you can use both hands, your fittering around using one hand, dropping the phone, taking 2 mins to unpack it is really getting my panties in a bundle.

[floodofcal]

wow get over it

[silver5149]

it really costs a leg... or an arm.... an eyeball perhaps?

~700 USD =[

[aimansyafiq99]

is it out in stores yet because that is not the real packaging.

[ziii5]

Why filming in the car ?

[uncreativename002]

the car ismade by their sponsor.

[HalloweenMic]

It amazes me when many people do these videos and always forget to have sim card ready or in the device.

[thetshirtblog]

The Hey Chee See HERO is an impressive peace of kit indeed! :D

Cheers.

[newwyorknight]

Looks butt ugly. I think they made it curved cause it would be really long if they had made it straight. Maybe they're like, DUDE we can't fit all components--ok, make it curve and call Marketing ASAP!

[driftersenco]

LOL :P

[SuperNoypii]

This phone will be like one of those phones that challenge the iPhone but failed, example bb storm, g1, n97, all da verizon phones, and guess what they All failed just like this phone, the closest competitor is pre

[sonyab523]

BB storm never challenged the iPhone, its a Blackberry, totally different world.

[FuckAllYa7]

I'm totally agree dude!

[caringlight]

That phone looks amazing

[PunkStar6661]

Looks like the G1 haha

kinda

[whitechoclate305]

Lol... it does all dey did was move around dey keys

[SEXYR68]

Nobody is trying to copy the iPhone WTF first of all if anybody is copying is the iPhone because they were touchscreen phones before the iPhone came out so shut the fuck up saying they wanna copy the stupid iPhone and iPhone sucks pretty bad that's why it took them 3 years to put a video camara on it

[northpoint43m]

350 aint bad for it,..but who's gonna carry it?..at&t?..sprint?...and when?..supposedly not avail til fall in the U.S...any news on the plans?

[Epic0fear0]

its gonna be for t-mobile for $200 with contract and comes with 4gb sd card. its called the Mytouch 3G

[Bugsy1982]

Mytouch 3G is a different phone called htc magic aka sapphire. I believe this is gonna be the official t-mobile G2 @ sum point

[Epic0fear0]

wow then they need to come up with new designs then

[Bugsy1982]

I like the design ok I have a g1 and it feels really good 2 talk on opposed 2 other phones I had and w/ this lookin 2 be a little wider than that it should really feel good to talk on. Y do iphone users think that phone is the best ? How bout all of g1's flaws were fixed thru an update while u need 2 buy a totally different device and 2 yr contract 2 get copy and paste rotfl what a scam

[Epic0fear0]

true

[klolomggmo]

the hero isn't coming to t-mobile

[datphillyjawn]

it is comin to t mobile

[illAZNx]

ya it is einstein

[UKShiner]

What a boring presentation... Seriously - what infor do you give out in the first 4 minutes. People buying this phone DONT need to know where the on button is. Show proper features and do your homework ffs. Much better vids on youtube....

[TheRealArchy]

How do you get your hands on an HTC from where to get it and what company can you activate it in?

[KingVirmire]

LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MY G1

LOL

[rasengen100]

this phone is better than the iphone because is flash

[pfcmarine0311]

well thats not true i can get flash on mine if its jailbroken so there is flash for the iphone

[rasengen100]

yea but then its not always safe and wat if it makes you iphone messed up

[skatefastXpartyhard4]

the iphone will alway...ALWAYS be better than any other phone because of apple app store...the apps are incredible and i will own an iphone for the rest of my life

[rasengen100]

yea but the apps are limited and the android has no restrction

[ab7zk1x9p4]

where you buyd it ?

[EclipsTV]

OMG all the touchscreen phones are all IPHONE WANT-TO-BES OMG they cant beat the IPHONE no other phone can!!!!!! stop trying to be the IPHONE holy crap!

[frenchornician]

palmpre and google come pretty close :D

[punkmonkey123]

... Eclips, most of these phones have had better specs than the iPhone since the iPhone's release. And the iPhone isn't the first touch screen phone.

[jcvmonsta]

Before the Iphone came out touch screen was very very unpopular....

Motorola already had touch screens.

They were just horrible.

[efrankie90]

this is the haychtc hero

[cooliecorp]

what company is coming out on only t-mobile? like the G1 or is going for AT&T and the other companies. and im talking only he US market.

[cooliecorp]

the*

[northpoint43m]

hi,..dyin to find out when and where its released here in u.s....hoping at&t gets it,..but doubt it,..this phone and android are an unreal combination. iphones are for popularity contests,..real smartphone users will go to android in the future,..invest in htc & android.

know how much this thing will cost?

[rasengen100]

do you want to be when its in the us or do you want to buy it now its 350

[arron4610]

....time to switch from iphone to Hero

[JxTPB]

anything besides the iphone = fail

[leo1337hs]

brainwashed idiot = fail

[JxTPB]

brainwashed? stop hating what you don't have... prick

[leo1337hs]

AHAHAHAHAHHAAHA

[JxTPB]

... i don't get what's so funny

[fahreneit100]

My next 'hero' for sure..

[dogoku]

*cough* ipod *cough*

hahahaha

[fixingbraincell]

the chin's kinda annoying

[Theokondak]

Well it might seem so but i think its gonna be cool when u are using it ;)

[Theokondak]

Its a little bit of fat or its my idea?

[Raksmey89]

it actually doesn't look that fat when held, certainly much slimmer than G1

[tcrono]

It just looks like because of the "chin"

It's just about 2 mm thicker than the iphone

[Theokondak]

cool!Now i m just waiting for it to come to Greece!

[BadIronTree]

same here.. i need it!

[ProMacTeacher]

it looks fat for me too.

[zman786]

i dont his models working properly cos nothing happened wen he pressed the search button even though its used to search through the fone and through live feeds

[lilijd]

isn't that the g1....

[lin44901]

no it isnt

[F1nir]

Is it slow? Like opening Apps and navigating through them?

[zman786]

the latest hands on ive all say it runs really fast,

Also to chin-haters: htc and previews say tht it makes using the trackball feel better and apparently cancels more background noise by being closer to ur mouth

[ryocentral]

Great look, great Android OS, epic !

[danielpullen]

The looks have kinda grown on me but, why such ugly packaging. Also i think they could have made it slimmer but it most pbbly would be harder to hold as it has that chin at the bottom

[ricohogan9109]

thats not the real packaging for the phone they still havent designed it yet.trust me they wouldnt package it like that cuz everyone knows that people love eye candy.ha

[skinnny101]

I think it will probably be a matter of time until the iPhone dies. All it currently had over Android is the Appstore being packed, whereas androids is still just starting out. Eventually there will be more Android phones than iPhones (its bound to happen as iPhone is only by Apple and Android phones will be developed by many companies leading to a better range of phones. Plus it is cheaper). Then Android's market will become huge and surpass the iPhones.

[arron4610]

HTC Hero has already taken on the poor iphone...check out the latest reviews...

hope it gets all the apps as soon as possible.

[BoatRepairMan]

That is an ugly phone. Why is every android phone ugly and cheap looking?

[Gazzz87]

*cough* ipod x2 i love it! hahaha

[Zangetzu33]

cool device, but man! u sound exactly like Stewie !

Next time use both hands for the review, people have been wondering what you were doing with the other one, as you were unboxing the '' Hero ''.

Right ? Huh, u got the point Tiger !

[jondanir]

maybe holding the camera ;)
