Bro,

First and foremost, i would like to apologize for the nooby questions that i'm gonna ask.
I just got myself a htc hero (i admit, i intuitively bought it) with no particular knowledge whatsoever on android based OS. I am struggling to find out the true power of the phone and have yet to install/flash/update anything. The salesperson who sold it to me said he updated and added a few apps.

1. Are they any other ROMs out there that are worth considering?
2. By flashing to another ROM, will the GUI change? What else will change?
3. The latest version of Android SDK is 2.1, but do i need to update my phone to that version? how do i update to it?
4. Installing apps and widgets are only through the phone's wifi or can i download it onto my comp and then sync with the device? Is it through the apps store?
5. Are there any recommended free apps that i should have? Like Ndrive and such
6. I am an entertainment-enclined person so how do i sync music and videos quickly(from pc to device)?

If it's any use:

build 2.73.751.13
firmware 1.5

Thanks in advance
