so far it's brilliant. android seems a lot more versatile (for my needs anyway) than what the iphone is running. the tracking ball seems pretty pointless so far unless there's a major need for it that i don't know about.

Barcode Scanner. there's a couple but i think this is the most popular one. They're also called QR codes.

Google releasing source code is not the same as HTC taking the source code and adding SenseUI to it.

It could be months.

that said there has already been leaked images of the hero supposedly running 2.1

Supposedly being the word.

I presume that since HTC made the Nexus that they had early access to 2.1, but I don't know if that means that they have Sense running on it in a stable form yet.

We can only hope.

Lets hope T-mobile do a cheap deal on the nexus phone :P
Well on the BBC website they did they say they plan to make it cheaper for everybody, well something along the lines of that, fingers crossed now.

I just got my new HTC Hero the other day and I'm loving it. But there are a few problems that I have:

I can only seem to add email contacts to the people widget. I don't have phone numbers attached to email addresses in my gmail, because my phone contacts and email have always been seperate. I can't be bothered to add them all in, so is there a way that I can add phone contacts (on the sim) to the people widget.

The messages widget is a bit sticky. Sometimes it won't allow me to scroll through the messages.

I find the gmail app to be pretty rubbish, it just displays your inbox with not extra options available on screen. The mobile version of the website is much better.

I can't seem to find any way to exit applications rather than just pressing back and leaving them running in the background. I have the advanced task killer, but it seems an illogical way of exiting applications.

The Hero manages it's memory, and will exit apps if it needs to, otherwise it will leave them running.

Some apps have a proper exit built in, some dont.

Is there any benefit to me using advanced task killer to free up memory manually. It seemed to me that the device ran a lot slower when these tasks were still running in the background

How much are you guys with HTC Heros paying for your contract? What do you get with it?

Just to let you know, I got mine second hand from another website for £245. I pay currently £15 per month [although I'm on PAYG] and I get unlimited internet (500mb) and unlimited text messages (12,000) which is more than enough for me.

I'm with o2.

I thought o2 was the only network provider without a reasonable limit on unlimited internet?

Is 500mb net enough?

Yeah, I reckon. Saying that, I don't have many apps syncing data that often, nor do I stream audio/video.

[AndrewFromTheNorth]

I went for the best/cheapest deal i could get with internet which is £25 a month for 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 500mb internet.
