on the side note:
i got tips for white HTC HERO owner..
i already been using near 1 week
i notice that there's a few blotches of very stubborn stain on the taflon cover
no matter how hard i try to rub it off with water, soap etc.. its not coming out completely..
still noticable mark on the taflon..
until i start using alcohol to rub it... to my surprise now it looks like new out-of-the-box clean..
and u just need to gently rub it off.. 100% clean..
super! now im loving the taflon even more.

maybe HTC tatoo is the cheaper hero?

wow, gadget of the year... that means something
but i think its a bit BS, since its only october.. what about november + dec 's gadget?

are you those shops that will provide software installation for some amount of money?

after using htc hero for about a week now.. i want to sum up my opinion on this phone..
bare in mind that im iphone user previously so most of the comparison will between this 2..

pros..
HTC Sense UI.. its the single best feature of this phone, 7 homescreens of awesomeness
the best in sense UI is able to select scenes.. different phone for different moods
Integration with online social network, flickr, twitter, facebook.. its easy n cool
love the browser, very easy n effective + flash support
very modern looking exterior, i guess im just a bit bored with how iphone looks likes +fav taflon..
very very customizable.. as compared to iphone.. iphone can become customizable after jailbreaking as well.. just not out of the box.
the setting up email is so easy.. i always have problems using hotmail on iphone..
mutitasking.. this is what apple os on iphone lacks most.. the only thing iphone can multitask is its music player

cons..
poor audio quality through headphone, poor music player from HTC.. iphone's is easily a better music player
poor camera quality. this means more MEGAPIXEL doesnt mean better camera
not as zippy as iphone..
not as many app as itunes but soon it will catch up
games on iphones are better, it also has many gameloft game but in unplayable java format.. sucks!
wallpaper & lockscreen.. image is low res? this is a bit irritating.. but i can live with it

vs iphone
i feel HTC hero is great out of the box and it has great potentials..
but it will be as good as it is now and 2 years later because i am not anticipating much update coming from HTC themselves
its potential will depend solely on the growth of android os itself
as compared to iphone.. i remembered when i was using iphone 1.0 it doesnt even have apps.. and with 3.0 update, its not the same phone anymore..
i am not expecting the level of software update from HTC as they are too busy making HTC tatoo, HTC HD2,, ETC ETC HTC dragon?

apple in the other hand, keep everything too tight to themselves.. c'mon, paying for your ringtone is still a little over the board wont you agree?
not to mention cut-n-paste only seen when 3.0 is released.. cough cough.. message forwarding etc etc u know what i mean
and the OS is not open source, as compared to android as a platform..

android 2.0 update... wondering if theres any good news for HTC hero user ?

new feats:
• The whole system feels much faster, especially the browser. Apparently it renders about as fast as the 3GS's, though part of that could be down to the hardware (What is it, BG?)

• The browser also gets double-tap-to-zoom (some current ROMs already come with this)

• Facebook friends are integrated right into the contacts system

• Voice control has been scattered through the whole system, and even gets its own dedicated dashboard

• There's an upgraded version of Google Maps, with layer support

• Native MS Exchange support

• A unified email inbox, for joining multiple accounts

• A YouTube homescreen widget, which enables two-click uploads

• A "Car Home" app offers larger shortcuts for functions you might need while driving, as well as easy access to voice control

i am using taskpanel for this purpose of killing program..
its free @ market

RM60?
cut throat
i bought for RM20 only for capdase.. & you wont even notice the protector is on..

from the first few shop in Sunway pyramid.. IT area
quite surprise to find it there.. plus he helped to fix it nicely

sprint is only in US
unless u have ways..

wow thanks for the heads up re: motorola droid proggie..

anyway, evilpuppy any nice casing for hero to reckon?

im using normal cable only no problem so far..

why is out TS not updating stuff on 1st page?
should compile some Q&A, links to useful software & updates..
easy for newcomer!

yup. i'll vote for that..
i doubt TS is even an owner..
lock this up & open another one..
