B4 this I thought im able to get the digi promotion rm99 Blackberry + rm 58 montly plan.... but.. FAIL sad.gif ... so currently looking for alternatives other than blackberry...

Was looking at HTC touch pro 2 a little while ago.. but d price are too scary & it remain scary after few months & i See a lot of good review on HTC Hero.. some even says could keep up or even beat I phone. So perhaps I will get Hero + android a try.. I have been using WM on 02 mini for years... i guess should give other system a try.

But currently my major concern is the CONNECTIVITY... Do you guys sign up Plan for Unlimited 3G data? Or just rely on Starbuck/ home wifi? or EDGE?? I have been quite outdated & i oways hoping that I can Online anywhere I go. Fb /chatting/ check mail/ surfnet at any place i want.

What is the best affordable data Plan so far? Im using Digi & i really wish to stick with my Number. But digi doesnt seem to provide any promo for the HTC Hero... Looking at Blue Cube they have HTC Hero but the montly plan is kinda expensive... rm 90+?? is there no other alternatives? nod.gif Pls share what's yours.

All these telco plan are very confusing.. & they keep changing over the months.

Celcom Bluecube has variety of Handset to choose from (every of my favourite phone they have it).. n can get at a really reasonable price.. But their data plan is expensive for me.

Digi pulak.. there is almost no option to choose from..even if we get the hp from them it wont even be cheaper than u get it urself outside. But then the unlimited plan is Cheaper... (not sure d speed etc can match celcom or not since digi one still new in 3g) & + Digi u can terminate the service any time. No contract.

I think someone should start compiling those apks functions and dependencies. That would be very useful :-)



Anyone tried AOSP Eclair on Hero yet? The UI is ultra tempting!

Today my Rhb Credit card Bill came... n they offer the HTC Hero A6262 at Rm 2,280 ( rm190 x 12months) was wondering should I take this. what will be d retail price outside?

But the spec for Hero in this booklet i think is wrong.
-3.2" TFT LCD Touchscreen
-Processor 528 Mhz, 288MB RAM & 512mb Rom
-5 mp Camera with autofocus
-Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional <-----??????
-GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, Wifi
-G Sensor, Digital Compass
-MicroSD slot for Expandable storage.

I hope there r no 2 version of Hero.. The A6262 does it mean the Brown colour?

ap set with 1 year warranty usually .. around 1.8k ~ 2.0k ... 2nd hand lowest u can get .. 1.6k got 1 ppl offering that price in lowyat .. Ori set 2 years .. thats the diff
since hero release ... there is no news about malfunction or problems within the hardware ... recently on internet .. absolute near zero complain from user ..

about the spec u provide previously .. there is no way in hell hero with WinMo
its like not enuf infos ppl wan to sell things .. but stupider than i saw before got 1 company in internet .. they say NEW HTC Hero with android eclair 2.0 .. nonsense ..

Ori set = SIS set? 2 Years warranty..= rm 2399 Everywhere? ... n AP set 1 year warranty= rm 1.8-2k ....

Is tat the only difference between ORI n AP set? warranty n price only. sorry im not very familiar with buying hp terms.

I have no problem on MCR 2.9c. Try reset your settings and reboot your Hero. Make sure you have a working sdcard and have it inserted properly.

Congrats! I GOT MINE TODAY!! Bronze...Actually I really Like the Lamborgini Yellow but not available in msia. Bought mine for rm2350 with 8gb card. Pay by Creditcard (for installment purpose sweat.gif ) if cash should able to cheaper another rm50.

Anyway.. Do you guys use SCREEN PROTECTOR for ur Hero? The Hero screen was built to anti-fingerprints.. but with the Screenprotector on it... it doesnt surf its purpose oredi... So is it safe to use without it? They give me the screen protector anyway.

Ah.. many things to explore.. totally a new platform... first thing have to figure out how to transfer my contact in Outlook to the Hero... Now is Charging for 8 hours... tomolo time to Play thumbup.gif

I got a question:

Can my device receive internet connectivity from my PC (which is connected to internet) when they r sync...

My PC is using the wimax wireless...& i hope to use the internet connection from my pc ON my device, instead of using my digi 3G data...

Can this be done? My previous WM phone can.

When I plug in my device to d pc.. n try to use internet application.. I still get connection BUT i donno if the connection comes from the Digi 3G or from the PC... it shows on top "H" should be refer to High speed internet

What is your setup? Do you have a wireless router?

I myself use Wimax at home, and I have a wireless router to share the Wimax connection with several computers and phones.

If you see H/3G sign at your phone, then your Hero is using H/3G instead of your Wimax. You will see wifi sign if your Hero is using wifi. As simple as that.

I'm not sure if you can use data cable to surf Internet. To use your phone as a mean to surf Internet from your computer, yes it's possible. To surf Internet from your phone by connecting data cable to your PC, I don't think so.

My suggestion is to setup a wireless network if you want to surf with wifi at home.
*
Oh... I don have wifi set up at home.. thats why im using data cable instead n expecting it can be used like how my pc works with WM device.

So I will have no choice but to set up Wifi in order to use the connection? Im the only one using internet.. so not necessary to get a wireless router just to serve my small room.


Oh yeah. Im exploring the Applications for Hero. The original Set doesnt come with MARKET? Is there a way to download it? or we can use other such as slideME? It was being Bookmarked in my browser... saying to download application for android.. mind to share which exactly should i use?

Hmm.. this is confusing... jumping from WMo to Google Android.

Previous I have Contacts/tasks/Calender in Microsoft Outlook... sync with my WinMo device.

Now. when i first sync my Hero using HTC sync...it sync my Outlook contact into my Hero...works well! but there is not Task option inside hero. Whatever I create appointment in my calender.. it will be in the Google Calender.. Work charmly.. i love it.. but still very confused...

Now i have . Outlook Calender (old appointment/birthday etc in there). + the Google Calender (new one)...


After setting up my Gmail with the phone.. in my device contacts.. i have my Original contact ppl (with phone numbers + home address etc) AND my Gmail contacts Also inside my device contact list...Meaning there are a lot of repetition.. Example:

2.Nelson Oii - Phone
3.nelson.ooi@yahoo.com - Google

Is the same person but it doubled up in my phonebook... Instead of putting the google mail address under the existing Contact in my phone. Not too sure the best way to properly set up my contacts + calender + mails

Now Im trying to move everything from Contacts, calender, email everything to GOOGLE to fully utilise my hero. But still struggling with the Outlook... is there any application such as GOOGLE CONTACT that replacing outlook??

Right now:

Contacts = Microsoft Outlook
Calender = Google Calender
Task= Googe Calender
Email = Google Mail

...Also I will like to know.. if contact photos + birthday info from Facebook being shown inside the Hero Calender/ google Calender?


Please help me. Im trying to be as organise as possible with my phone. Thanks.

ElmI, how about sync with Google Contacts? Working or not? I need it very much as I keep them contacts there.

clivengu, I ditched phone & sim contacts in favor for Google Contacts, http://www.google.com/contacts/ You can start investing your time with the cloud. Ultra convenient, no cable no sim. Just hit sync and all your contacts will be in your phone in seconds.

Yeah.. I just figure tat out... Import my Outlook into my Google account... & everything can be easilly organised finally!.. but i got duplicated contacts from Outlook.. so i hv to clear them off... leaving all 100% Google contacts! flex.gif

Need sifu's help on digi setting. I know that digi setting can be google over internet. In traditional hp, setting for internet and MMS is set under different name, i.e. DIGINET for internet and DIGI MMS for MMS. But in HERO, it looks like that internet and mms setting is set up using one setting under one APN. So how do you set up internet + mms setting for Digi? I already flash the firmware to WWE, so all APN setting disappeared. Please help. sad.gif
*
I just Put in my Sim Card n d Phone is ready to go.. Ask my mum to send me a mms n it works without problem. But then.. i nvr flash my firmware.. tongue.gif no knowledge.. takut oso.


I find that when my 3G is always on... and it will keep update me my contacts facebook + photo albums etc + emails few times in an hour.. I dont even know how much data I have been using within this 1 week..I link almost everyone on my Contact list to FB. Is very cool. I just worry it consume too much data...

Any1 know how to check the Data usage for Digi? I worry if reaching 3GB quota ...will slow down a lot...



Im still trying to figure out how to install MARKET without rooting.... Slideme application r very little...n not tat impressive i find.. unsure.gif
