Does anyone know when it will come out in the US for T-Mobile?

[mobileburn]

no indication at all so far that t-mo USA will carry it ever.

[psuncar]

but you can still buy it from t-mobile uk and connect here right?

[mobileburn]

Without 3G, most likely. I don't believe it supports the 1700MHz band that T-Mobile USA uses.

It is, but you also have the sprint version, which is a bit different. :)

Is the HTC Hero the exact same as the T Mobile G2 Touch do you know?? :)

[poemdaanimal]

[kazper333]

lol nice screen but not iphone killer anytime soon, im sorry but the touchscreen doesnt look capasitve at all, and it has the same boring interface as evry other phone out now lol, the camera doesnt have much 2 say same crappy camera, and the design it ugly man, why did they made it look like that, its just horrible

[w3bmatt]

Does it lag at all?

From some videos ive seen, moving home screens can be laggy.

[Ridikuluzt]

i hope it goes to sprint. i was extremely disappointed with the palm pre.

[yungsir232]

If this phone goes to sprint it will single handedly keep sprints network alive wow amazing phone

I put the HERO OS on my G1 yesterday. I love it. However, it makes you realize that it is the Hero operating system that is stunning, not the phone.

It really made my G1 into a totally different phone. For example, they have different "themes" you can select for your home page. They are uber cool.

And the "expanded desktop" is nice too, rather than the 3 the G1 comes with.

Being able to set up speed dialing is great too, something that's missing on the G1.
