    Actually, I wished I could find anything other than the iPhone that would be as good. Because these days everyone has an iPhone here, there is no unique-ness to it. But the Hero...looks good, has the same abilities + better camera and better looks and maybe other stuff I don't know yet. And it's an Android Thanks for pointing it out Gerard. I'll have a better look at it and see if it really is as good as it sounds. What do you think Drew?
    And by the way, it's price here is half iPhone's price


    I had an ipod touch for a lot of months and the only thing I miss is a game or 2 (and it wont be long before they pop up on Android anyway). It's just a solid phone running a platform that is great already but has so much more potential. Also runs on multiple devices rather than just the one like iPhone, but I do recommend the hero because of HTC's highly customizable Sense UI.


  2. I'm skipping the N900. It's a guniea pig device. Within 6 months we will have the first Maemo 6 device with capacitive screen and multi touch etc. The N900 is a developer tool and for uber tech fiddlers. Right up your street.

    So...Android or Maemo?

    Well the N900 was also announced in the summer, wouldnt surprise me if the next one wont be in stores before next year.

    But your right it is a guinea pig device



    Well Maemo only runs on 1 device, android on more.
    Android is a bit more mature as a platform, while Maemo is more a 'standard' linux environment. You have a terminal, you have root access. Apt-get, repositories, ssh, etc. But it is a guinea pig,

    Aha...thanks guys
  7. A couple of questions Gerard...
    I've been doing some deeper comparisons of the iPhone and the Hero. The iPhone's got a better display (more colors) and films with better quality apparently. How are those things on the Hero? The filming quality and the quality of the display...say you wanna watch a DVD video you converted on it.

    The screen is very good. Very bright, very Sharp and good in direct sunlight. I'm not big on phone photography and I never use the camera or video but their performance is average at best. its 5mp but only gives good results in brightly lit conditions so if multimedia creation is high on the list tjen the iphone performs better.

    Not really, I use the camera for what is it, mobile camera, a quick photo needed of something. I'm not using it for pro multimedia stuff. But I might be watching videos on the device. Again, I'm not a quality-addict, so it won't matter. What was really important to me was the screen being sharp and bright which you said it is. thanks.
  10. Been reading some reviews. Gerard, they all say that the phone is great, but sluggish, is that right? If so, how annoying is it?
    And what's all this fuss about the Google Phone? When is that coming out? Is it worth waiting for?

    Sluggishness is downtown the operators installing their own custom ROMs on the phone. There is an easy workaround though that greatly improves things. I've had sluggishness once when I had 5000 txts in my inbox. No issues since. Google launch their own phone in a few hours so more info then.

    ok, I'm not following again Gerard. I understand the part about 5000txts, but what did you mean by the first part? The operations installing custom ROMs and the easy workaround...
