its all manipulating game...

Hi guys. Am a total noob to Android.
Would appreciate if anyone here can help
clarify the Android Market restriction.
If I get a UK set. Am I still restricted
in accessing the Android Market place?
When they say restriction, does it
include Free Apps or just Paid Apps?
Thanks ....

Wow, thanks for the good news. Hope can get it from shop tommorow. Can't wait

Hey guys I too am looking to get this phone if my budget permits..

Tested it out at DM priced around RM2400.

The thing I do hope they improve is the auto focus for the camera function.
What exactly do I mean ? Say u wanna take a pic of a bottle on the table. The only way is to aim the camera to the center and press the capture button. There is no auto-focus then continue to take the pic. Sorta like a camera half press function then u get what I mean.

Pic quality looks good on the screen but will need to extract it out on a PC to really know for sure.

ElmI, I then called Action KLCC, and they said next week (Mon/Tue) I'll go to Lowyat Plaza this noon to buy a case. If NA, I'll probably source FlexiShield from ebay.

Evirober, where is DM? Digital Mall?

About the camera, does Hero has the 'touch to focus' feature like the iPhone? With iPhone you can choose what to focus by touching it on the screen.

ahhhh...
Okay..so high tech... next time will try that out..

Yeah Digital Mall...

@Levi : thanks for the info dude.. but cant wait for next week coz balik kampung dy this friday . Maybe tmrow will go to LYP or Sungei Wang to get da 'hero'

@Evirober : dude, the hero u tested at DM is ori set from SiS? got any freebies such as pouch or mem card? tfyt

ElmI: AP unit from what I understand... no pouch...mem card given 2 GB

Woot. I just came back from LYP, and I booked a set of brown HTC Hero!

The price is RM2399 SIS warranty, paid the deposit RM50 and tomorrow I'll collect during lunch hour :-)

I saw several Hero boxes wrapped with deposit papers, and I was the 8th. Hoho.

If time permit I'll do some photo ops later when unboxing :-)

LEVIATHAN: Congrats bro...do give us a good run down on the hero

Nice . Plan to get a brown one myself too tommorow.

So, did u find any suitable case at LYP?

i wanna trade in with my 5800. hehehe

ElmI, nope. My plan is to buy a slightly bigger screen protector (I have Capdase iPhone anti-fingerprint screen protector in mind - bought & applied it previously on my mum's iPhone 3GS. It feels very nice to slide on it) and cut it according to Hero's screen. Unless I can find a Hero specific screen protector tomorrow.

Case, I'm going to buy a FlexiShield. Source it from ebay. In the mean time, I think I'll wrap it with thin wrapper (my office use it for DHL) just to keep nasty tiny hard scratchy dirts from touching my Hero.

Kindly update us when you find Hero specific accessories :-)

k8118k, no problem boss. I'm looking forward to deal you in the future :-)

@Levi congrats on the phone can't wait for the review i wish i can get one too.

Hmm at rm 2399 its weird that they wont be reducing magic price,

Btw I think we should have a proper sub forum in regards to android if the user base keeps increasing?

To whoever ask about the market, it doesn't matter where you get your hp from the mmarket will be a local one. However there is an app call market enabler for download which allows you to choose your market I have set mine to us market sinnce last fm can't be found in the local market. If you want to buy app get a google checkout account.

Now that's beautiful XD~

Do you update your Hero with the latest official 2.73.405.5 update?

How about the accessories? The screen protector? The casing?

havent done any updatin on the rom... but it's not laggy at all to my surprise. it's comparable to an iphone. it makes me wonder whether it comes with the new firmware, but i just checked the firmware and it's 1.5.
the guy said there's no need for screen protector cuz he said the screen is scratch resistant, but i doubt that anyway since i never read it anywhere on the internet that says the screen is scratch resistant.
no pouch or screen protector are included, only a 2gb micro sd is included.

Well I guess the lagging is obvious only when you setup many widgets across the 7 scenes :-)

Oh what is the class of the supplied 2GB? Class 4 or 6?

Edit: Eh have you tested syncing contacts with Outlook? And how about downloading emails from office's email system (Outlook)?
