ohh ohh. i meant to comment that to kvabikova. the comment where it says "the placement of the back key is a huge pain. it basically forces your hand into a cramp-inviting position..." I haven't seen this video on any site other than yours. I like your videos, sorry for the confusion!
I was wondering the same thing. I'm starting to favor the Hero because of its ui, but the Omnia HD has amazing specs: Oled screen, HD video, that will be hard to pass up.
Yeah, the curve at the end is a little weird. Not that it would weigh over me buying or not buying the phone, but doesn't it make it kinda non-practical to put it in your pocket and the end of it sticking through your jeans like that? =D Does anybody have any experience?
iphone screen is 3.5 hero's is 3.2....doesnt seem like much of a difference,but it is,you can really tell when yu're browsing or watching videos...and typing of course
the new ui doesnt seem to slow down the phone.... loading apps seem to be pretty snappy... best yet... facebook/flicker seem to be "integrated" with the phone (not like separate apps?) something that even palm pre hasnt achieved.... this is good...this..... is...... goooddd...
At that moment iPhone 3GS is the best smartphone on the market. Hero is a lot more laggy than iPhone, because of software optimization, they said that they will solve that, but at that moment, iPhone is the best(it's a lot more speedy, very big difference when u browsing internet).
You mentioned something about the resolution setting in the camera being very low. Is it lower than what a 5 megapixel camera should provide? I don't understand. Also, what are your comments on the size (including the chin). I had previously settled on the galaxy, even after the hero was announced, but upon learning the galaxy only has a pathetic 128MB of RAM, I might want to get this instead. Bloody android phones, each one has to have a single flaw that really brings the performance down.
I have a question - I have an iPod Touch 2G 32GB so it holds all my fav music, movies and apps and soon I'm going to change my cell - i cannot decide whether choose a Hero or iPhone GS... What do you think? I'm a bit more convinced to buy Hero cause having an iPhone may seem like getting another iPod with an addition use as cell. I'd really appreciate if you could help me :) thanks!
T mobile CTO Brodman, speaking today at an event in New York said that the company(T mobile) has no plans to bring the HTC Hero to market in the US. Instead T mobile will be offering the HTC mytouch 3g. SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE! If u don't believe me google it
mine is being delivered to me on monday :D I bought over the phone on friday evening, did a bit of reseach imo its better than the iphone and many others, sure the cams not the best and the iphone beats it on music but it does the job + if like me u have a digital cam & an ipod who cares
the only thing about this is the small buttons shortcuts, menus, icons. I love windows mobile and android devices, but I think they somewhat still fail on the practical finger usage. Stylus is so 1990s hahha. I still have yet to see a truly finger friendly phone OS like the Iphone, but i also think that multi touch should be widely available to all manufacturers. Apple has patented this, but the palm pre uses multi touch gestures. . anyone has information about this?
Android is a new OS and you can find a lot of free applications and games without any hack.Google wants to attract people that's why they offer free stuff.I think hero is good but I would prefer a bigger screen.
this uses a capacitance screen i believe, in other words - no stilus, but if you have fat fingurs your limited in what you can get I guess lol multitouch yeah not sure how they got passed the patent, some sneeky workaround im sure lol I must say i rather like the Hero, the iPhone is a bit too common for me, + flash on the hero browser is very nice
the t-mobile my touch is nice but i love the design of the htc hero, but and the my touch and and the htc hero is a little diffrent i like the way you can scroll over and i think it is more organize and i just love the way it looks it look diffrent at sprint i think and is it coming out on t-mobile because i think i might switch so i can get the phone should i or should i just get the my touch and be happy with that because i don't have a touch screen phone and i hate the hell out of it.
touch pro 2 is way better and besides when windows mobile 6.5 comes out in October 7 which is free upgrade. It will have same interface look and even way better features than android.
Ohh yeah, apple has movies as music! the only people who actually still buy there music from useless proprietary programs such as Itunes are people who dont know how to use torrents, and what do you mean "video and camera" the HTC hero has a 5MP camera that can shoot video...Only reason apple is still where it is today is because of one good product ( The iPod) And they are still just riding the hype, everyone is so "locked into" Apple, they just don't realize there are tons of other options.
Lol, I love how the iPhone fanboys get so defensive about it. It may have the movies and music apps, but who cares. In an ages of being able to illegally download, people can just compress the file to MPEG-4 and move it onto the card, or place the music they have on their computers onto the phone. How does having a store to buy these things from, make the "PHONE" any better.
windoze mobile?... that's a piece of crap. Android and WebOS(Palm-Pre) are both far more advanced mobile Operating Systems. Pity you're stuck with Windows.
Arghhhghgh.... "haitch" there is no such letter!!! It's "aitch" you plebian. This entire video made me grind my teeth. Reviewing a product and constandly mispronouncing a letter.
ohh ohh. i meant to comment that to kvabikova. the comment where it says "the placement of the back key is a huge pain. it basically forces your hand into a cramp-inviting position..."
I haven't seen this video on any site other than yours.

The designer said it was not only to protect the Trackball but also to get a better feel...
Can't wait to get my hands on one of those...
same here! only i was also looking at the Samsung Omnia HD
htc touch pro2 or touch diamond2 (the diamond2 is essentially the pro2 without a keyboard)
I was wondering the same thing. I'm starting to favor the Hero because of its ui, but the Omnia HD has amazing specs: Oled screen, HD video, that will be hard to pass up.
It's not the music and movies that are interesting, it's the applications in the app store.
The hero is about the same size as the iphone from what Ive seen (length and thickness)
Good Job
the camera should have a flash/blitz... thats the only negative I can come up with..
i dont have any experience myself but i heard people had no problems using it on g1...im however kinda worried about that too...
any news on when this is out guys ? i think im gunna have to abandon my G1 for this
Yeah, the curve at the end is a little weird. Not that it would weigh over me buying or not buying the phone, but doesn't it make it kinda non-practical to put it in your pocket and the end of it sticking through your jeans like that? =D Does anybody have any experience?
so far i can see, the camera is the only down with this phone. I'm so getting this phone!
i mean in touchscreen not like the g1. and can you write with t9 stylepad ??
it is more likely to come out for AT&T in the US
iphone screen is 3.5 hero's is 3.2....doesnt seem like much of a difference,but it is,you can really tell when yu're browsing or watching videos...and typing of course
the new ui doesnt seem to slow down the phone.... loading apps seem to be pretty snappy... best yet... facebook/flicker seem to be "integrated" with the phone (not like separate apps?) something that even palm pre hasnt achieved.... this is good...this..... is...... goooddd...

Thanx!

@pcgamingman rumor says new one being announced at MWC in Barcelona; around mid-to-late Feb.
At that moment iPhone 3GS is the best smartphone on the market. Hero is a lot more laggy than iPhone, because of software optimization, they said that they will solve that, but at that moment, iPhone is the best(it's a lot more speedy, very big difference when u browsing internet).
gettin this 4 christmas..i hope
The HTC Hero looks really nice to me but i'll wait for the HTC Superstar anyway =)

Will it be coming out in the us??? And with what carrier? Tanx
ahh when does the htc hero come out for t mobile
speed/smoothness and most of iphones apps look better....of and the bigger screen makes it easier to type as well
T mobile CTO Brodman, speaking today at an event in New York said that the company(T mobile) has no plans to bring the HTC Hero to market in the US. Instead T mobile will be offering the HTC mytouch 3g. SPREAD THE WORD PEOPLE! If u don't believe me google it
i think sprint is offering it
does the T-monile version have the Sense UI
mine is being delivered to me on monday :D I bought over the phone on friday evening, did a bit of reseach imo its better than the iphone and many others, sure the cams not the best and the iphone beats it on music but it does the job + if like me u have a digital cam & an ipod who cares
which sony erricson ur talkin bout??
Yes of course you can get to internet with wifi without paying for mobile internet.Wireless internet using wifi is free.
the only thing about this is the small buttons shortcuts, menus, icons. I love windows mobile and android devices, but I think they somewhat still fail on the practical finger usage. Stylus is so 1990s hahha.
I still have yet to see a truly finger friendly phone OS like the Iphone,
but i also think that multi touch should be widely available to all manufacturers. Apple has patented this, but the palm pre uses multi touch gestures. . anyone has information about this?
i am talking about the W995
what network is it on???
so will it be availible on tmobile this july or later and will htc magic users be able to upgrade the UI????
hi does it have qwerty keyboard ??

Android is a new OS and you can find a lot of free applications and games without any hack.Google wants to attract people that's why they offer free stuff.I think hero is good but I would prefer a bigger screen.

i like how you copied this straight out of a legitimate review from another site.
Yehhh ill just wait for the htc superhero .....lmaooo
Lol, I love how the iPhone fanboys get so defensive about it. It may have the movies and music apps, but who cares. In an ages of being able to illegally download, people can just compress the file to MPEG-4 and move it onto the card, or place the music they have on their computers onto the phone.

geen gevoel voor humor
Sick phone. Iphone is OVERRATED!!! I hate the apple cult.
take a htc, de ercsson has to many bad reviews.
also you get free games. and a whole bunch of other crap. As long as the dev team( plp that hack iphone) keep hacking plp will keep buying iphone.
hreo
windoze mobile?... that's a piece of crap.
Android and WebOS(Palm-Pre) are both far more advanced mobile Operating Systems. Pity you're stuck with Windows.
iphone is still better because there are hacks for it
HA HA HA !!!
Arghhhghgh.... "haitch" there is no such letter!!!
It's "aitch" you plebian. This entire video made me grind my teeth. Reviewing a product and constandly mispronouncing a letter.
