Hey there fellow Hero owners! I've been an owner for close to 2 weeks now. Anyone of you experiencing the dead/bright pixel issue with the phone like these guys from Singapore? http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthre...394322&page=195

To test your phone, simply snap a photo with the camera in pitch darkness (completely covering it works too). Set the display brightness to max and load the black photo fullscreen. Look for bright shimmery star-like dots in the screen, you may need to tilt the phone around to be able to spot them.

I can find 5 of these on my phone, one of which is very obvious. It appears to me they are increasing by the day as I know I had none when I first got the phone.

Called up SiS and they asked me to bring the phone in for checking and will 1 to 1 exchange it for me

Yes, it is pretty much the same as any phone brought in by SiS. I know some others have asked before, the 16gb micro sd that came with the phone is only class 2. I turned it into a mini usb drive with a reader and bought a class 6 8gb for the phone.

If you have an SIS unit with the stock ROM, the APN settings are preconfigured for you.

Added on November 13, 2009, 4:18 pmI've been using for more than a month but I've never hit the 5gb limit (yet). My net connection is always on and I use it mostly for web browsing, twitter, emails, google maps, and some youtube. Once in a while I tether the connection to my pc for some light torrenting.
