Sprint HTC Hero Video Review

[LJSpence22]

Aye, how much are apps?

[3619alex]

he says "and all that good stuff" too much but other than that it was a great review and covered lots of stuff that other reviews didnt. good job!

[dh4life100]

what app did u use to speed up the phone when u exit out? i just got the phoen and i need that

[haroof]

Love the functionality, don't love the look of the phone. Silver cell phones went out of style a few years back.

[LakeRafiD]

I love this phone. Sprint needs to come out with another Hero phone in my opinion.

[divineclown]

i get to shoot you now lol

[wuutisup]

for being a first time user for a touchscreen phone....do you think this is to advanced for me or should i get something like the samsung finesse or LG versa

[fireblade123able]

i dont know if i should get this fone or the lg rumor touch. someone plzz respond!!!

[djletitrock1324]

@fireblade123able DONT EVER get a rumor phone EVER terrible phne i just got this phone mybe aboutwo months ago, my dad just got the HTC EVO4G and i got this hone beast. a bit sluggish though

[godswordofsaradomin]

biggest question of all time?! ( HOW DO YOU DOWNLOAD SONGS IN THIS PHONE? )

[wazwaz25]

@godswordofsaradomin

look it up on google

there's bound to be a way

[teamdorks24]

can you download a myspace app ?

also if you can , can you use your Myspace IM chat ???

[69PrevailingWinds]

looks like the tatoo

[nicolegrl19]

What camera are you using in these. Is the texting decent? And is it threaded? Oh and is the internet and camera decent? is it confuaing to use? Thxxx. Pleaseeee reply!!!!!!!!

[capricorn7086]

This phone doesn't hold charge that well. I had one and used it for 6 months, because it froze up all the time, the battery did not hold a charge well, if you think about getting this phone, don't!!! HTC SUCKS!!!!

[exotictoxic14]

i have had my hero for bout have a year and i miserablly hate it...its too laggy and i am getting verizon soon, i hope i get something like the enV3 since all i do now adays is txt my friends

[blaziankhmer]

great review

[2uece123]

Can you convert it to wi-fi????

[crazxy]

whats the app called to make your phone faster ?

[suprapeta]

can you take that huge clock out of the home screen?

[guitarnube111]

i just saw a few questions on here, first most of the apps are free. The phone is great HOWEVER, it does have its glitches, ie. freezing, not updating, and so forth.(HTC just released the firmware update on may 20th to "fix" these problems) I do love the crispness of photos, the speaker is loud and clear, Overall great phone.

[keikos98789]

does it have a ball like the black berry

[rezellehime]

Mine has terrible battery life. :-( It dies all the time.

[capricorn7086]

@rezellehime the phone in general sux!!! Mine froze up all the time trying to get to my text messages. It was slow...and the battery life sucked big time!!!! If anyone is thinking about getting this phone if you're with sprint, DON'T!!!!! If you want an android phone get the Samsung Moment, it's also an android phone and it's a hell of a lot better.

[OriginalPokemon]

are the facebook apps free?

[awesomemike27]

I've had this phone since January and I LOVE IT! I've accidently dropped it a few times, and there's barley a scratch. Its AMAZING. Everyone should get this phone!!

[jcashtr02]

how'd you open it so easily @1:54 - I just got it today. Havin the hardest time opening the battery cover

[SantaHatesMe101]

free apps?

[danielandtonytechmen]

@SantaHatesMe101 most of them are free

[61379]

phone is difficult the phone doesnt react well by touch

[BRiTiSHPiKe]

@JustinDaMasterMind  gotta love youtube.. haha

[danzbar]

can you activate this phone over wifi if it is new?

[morganboy0ify]

Gosh I wan this phone so bad.' but my mom said I can't have it.' argh I wan it.' I like it soo much.' rite now I have the lg rumor 1! Uqh what piece of crap.' I want this

[RyMuEntertainment]

this phone is GARBAGE!! I'm in my second cycle and its crapping out already!!!Slow texting and call function, however the internet is ok. I'm really disappointed, I started off by clowning my girl for that big Android radio the Moment but now shes breazin and laughing at me!

[AnimeMaster360]

wow that sucks dude im glad my hero never had that problem

[RyMuEntertainment]

Hope you don't ever...every time I think sprints get better I always ended up wishing I had just gotten an i-phone.

[emmetfox]

Iphone is the WORST phone I have ever had! Its just a POS! I am on my 5th one because of software issues they keep freezing up on me and the ipod would just start playing in the middle of a soon to be dropped call, and I don't abuse it in any way. Its the phone you will love but hate because its great for everything but phone calls!

[kenedoskeet]

@RyMuEntertainment My Hero is perfect... You obviously dont know how to take care of the phone

[RyMuEntertainment]

@kenedoskeet ..Do you realize how retarded your comment is? What have I said which lead you to the stupid conclusion yo spat out of your face? Please tell me what I could have possible done wrong in one cycle of usage...Did I mention anything about my habit of bouncing my Hero off idiots heads? Here is some tissue cause, you are obviously talking out of the wrong hole.

[kenedoskeet]

@RyMuEntertainment Lol stupid idiots like you make my day... What drew me to my conclusion is that you said the... nvm, ur not even worth my time

[RyMuEntertainment]

@kenedoskeet Clearly your time ain't worth much if you chose to leave a baseless comment on the comment of a "stupid idiot'" like me.Yeah your right,you're wasting your time JACKASS!Now go study student,you clearly missed reading comprehension.

[xYungTruth14x]

whats that slide to unlock app called and is it free???

[FlyYouFools88]

HTC Hero rules!! In the UK mine has a chin like the G1, makes it hard to buy cases, i want a ultra case for my hero. The american model must have better cases :(

[RocmanRaz]

HAHAHA awesome. iPhone fails with only a 2mpx camera

[comandersven]

i have this phone but i dont know how ot make the videos HD. i amlso dont know how to get that lid to unlock thing on my phone i can find the app

[candyrnld]

After watching your video, I've decided to get one & planning to switch over to Sprint. Thank You so much for sharing this info! HTC Hero looks good to me. Thanks again

[DaUltimateX15]

it is yo, 100% worth da $, i just got mine 2 days ago. i makin dis msg from it right now

[butcher669]

should i get this fone?

[XdistantXskylineX]

Btw.. The default browser fails.. Use an alternate. Dolphin ftw.. Its free, and its epic.

[XdistantXskylineX]

The task manager is free Via app store, and the phone itself, well, its not beauty queen, but its a VERY powerful little phone, and between it, and the droid.. There really is no comparison.. HTC or Motorola, Lol. If you have never had a HTC phone, then im going for HTC..

[quikmaster1]

How long does the htc hero takes to end task on it's own without an task manager? How much does the pro task manager cost?

[xAriZonaBoyx]

does that phone have a sim card ?

[1rewd1]

Damn ugly phone ...

[1rewd1]

@1rewd1 ... with the two tone and the oddly rounded top and bottom, this looks exactly like a Magnavox TV remote we had in the 70's.

[aLexxg239]

damn you must be blind dipshit

[futchasigma]

this is a really good review (in my opinion)

my question is about the google account.

is it like having an account to download apps for iphone/ipod touch

[stillfreefilmer]

hmm i heard that downloading the task killer messes up the text messaging on the hero

[curtduece]

what aplication did you choose the slide to unlock from on the android market specificly ? (great video)

[taypotts88]

Lock 2.0 is the exact name for the app

[Gooddaymate1277]

WHat app did you download to get that slide screeen?>

[taypotts88]

Lock 2.0 is the name of the app

[suprapeta]

@taypotts88 is it free?

[chskev]

you are quite humorous hahaa :)

[slimsanta93]

you already got one, cool beans haha

[PiPerson95]

I noticed that under the HTC Widgets there's a Setting section... which settings can you create shortcuts to (besides Wi-Fi and Bluetooth)?

[Nikali3990]

i thought i was the only person in the world that said "cool beans" :D

cant wait till i can freakin upgrade for this :)

[skateanddrum101]

how do you get that slide to ulock app

[nerminm09]

wait can you txt portrait way?

[sergiomercado19]

hey just wondering do the ysell this in stores? or do you have to buy online?

[kenqui232]

i loaded google twice but it is a google phone so sue me lol

[tomj4607]

This new look is way better !!!

[Mikeytjee]

My EU Hero is prettier (A)

[stp450]

Its an ugly big chinned phone thats not pocket friendly

[Mikeytjee]

dont judge if you never worked with it ;) you dont feel the chin the pocket ;)

[fierwall5]

it is pocket friendly and the chin is quiet small

[StimulatedBoredom]

Nice job, I have been watching a lot of reviews on this device and this one actually covered a lot of the things I wanted to see without the usual 5 mins just talking about the headphone jack or how to remove the battery.

[taypotts88]

Thanks! That's why I started to do reviews. I hate when people go on and on about nothing.

[PRTHUG78721]

Y'all, this phone is amazing. Sprint's network is incredibly stable and reliable. It's not the same thing as the MyTouch3G, a phone I respect, but it's basically stock Android like the G1 without the physical QWERTY. This phone does not slow down, and it's just as fast if not faster than iPhone 3GS, I shit you not. I had a G1 for a minute back when Android first came out and I can honestly say, it wasn't ready for the big time back then, but Android now is just amazing. Sod off, iPhone!

[pbron018]

good review

[fierwall5]

does the phone have wifi

[taypotts88]

sure does

[FCBMADRID]

ya it has wifi. really good phone better than pre

[ivan134]

this looks like the mytouch 3g from tmobile. is it basically the same phone?

[taypotts88]

Not at all. It has the HTC sense UI. Just makes the customization different.

[All0ut]

not even close mytouch is awful

[mogi28]

5megapixel, 288mb RAM & sprint tv!

[jdiazyt]

good review :)

[lilvoice32]

what app is the one were it makes you slide to unlock like the iphone instead of pulling down?

[taypotts88]

it's called lock 2.0 There is a lite version (free) and a pro (paid)

not too much difference between the two other then different skins

[lilvoice32]

thanks :]

[mrbadrr1]

lotsofstuff needs to stop crying like a bitch... it was a good video do keep your mouth shut.....

[Lotsofstuffs711]

I didn't say it was a bad review dumb ass. Stop creating drama where there is none.

[Lotsofstuffs711]

sorry...but repetitiveness is my pet peeve. you must have said "all that good stuff" 15 times in that video. lol

[taypotts88]

Haha... sorry. My last video I said "um" a lot. I'm trying to get better :)

[ratchison85]

Great Review

[frncx]

The physical phone is different from "the" HTC Hero ... why is that ?

[taypotts88]

The one with the chin is the GSM version. This is the US version.

[thastuffyo]

probably because the Hero was so damn ugly in Europe

[frncx]

this is a personal choice. I actually find that this version looks like a 2002 palm phone....

[magentafeelings]

cool video....good work

[awstanal]

awesome awesome review..

finally an unbiased one

[y0utuber33]

great review
