no it does not offer live search
8:22 ahahahah 69 lol….great vid tho! i get mine on the 29th
Great vid !
I was wondering, does the hero have live search ? or is there something on the phone thats like it?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ! im planning on buying 1
I love this phone..Can’t wait to snag one next week. I hate the word widget though
yes you can save some apps on your mem card, and you get a 2gb memory card with the phone
I have the Palm Pre right now but I am sending it back and getting the HTC Hero
And Sprint is an amazing service!
this is a great review!!
I hope there will be other exterior colors cause this one sucks
I was wondering when texting is there a way to turn off the letters from popping up? That seems annoying, and i thought so when texting with the iphone, and mytouch.
Its nice but i have to give it to the pre. The pre is flashy and simply amazing. the hardware looks good but idk the OS just seems blah. i know with all those cool widgets you’d think i”d be great but idk its not appealing to me Palm pre and webos is the one for me
I don’t konw about yours, but mobiletechreview’s hero unboxing shows that it has “with google” written on the back. I’ve seen that some hero’s are sporting “with google” and some are not, so the question is, is this a google expirience phone or is it not? I’d imagine not because it runs sense, but then why would these hero’s have “with google” on the battery cover if they werent? also can you save apps to the sd card? cause 512 mb of storage for apps is kinda very low..IMO
Thanks, I have been testing Mytouch 3G at T-Mobile & youtube seems to ghost on the screen in high resolution. I hope the Hero has as good as playback as the ipod touch or Touch Pro.
Is is possible to have two Exchange accounts (would like to have push email for both Gmail and my school’s Exchange server) or have an exchange account along with Gmail push support? What Exchange features does the Hero support (contacts, tasks, etc)?
How is the voice quality when talking to someone?
Thx
I enjoyed the video, though.
what about mac synching? And appreciate your help leak…
Yup ^^
You can set your Yahoo mail up as a separate account (POP/IMAP), but Android won’t do push Yahoo mail unfortunately, but I do not believe Yahoo offers this service. Google implemented push Gmail services so naturally, you get push Gmail on your Android device. If Yahoo implements this technology on their back-end, it could potentially be used on Android, but that’s on Yahoo…
Well, there were complaints of the Hero being a bit laggy when it was first released, but HTC issued a software update that has since fixed the probs and now it is FAST. Sprint’s version of the Hero has the software update and is silky smooth.
I will be sure to show both audio and video quality in the review. The speaker on the Hero is VERY good IMO! Video playback has been smooth for me on youtube vids, and SprintTV
i hate the design of the pre, and they took away one of the best things they had going on palm phones a great keyboard. OS was great but the design made me return it and i know about the pixi but no wifi and another crammed keyboard no thanks.
before you give up on palm go check out the pre…they got it right with that device
it’s b/c they came up with a software update. This probably has it applied already.
yep sure does
does this phone have threaded sms?
will this sync and push your yahoo mail? And what about synching with a mac? If it does these two things, im finally saying good by to Palm aka “cant get right”
It’s funny how many people say that this phone is sluggish but all the videos show that the phone works pretty fast.
