HTC Hero in the flesh!

if you can search sa tipidcp they selling this phone for 21k – 30k (bnew). sana makakuha na ako nitong phone na ito. i like this phone lalo na nung nababasa ko yung mga comments about this phone.

Hi everyone. I have been looking for HTC Hero in Makati for almost a month. I am here for only a week more. Please help me where should I give it a final look? really appreciate it…

I was using 2.9 a few weeks ago, feeling ko kasi mas mabilis yung 2.8 so I reverted back to it. But I’m using teknologists latest kernel and IU radio. Iniintay ko talaga yung android 2.0 update for the htc hero. I also transferred some app cache to sd card (browser,maps,facebook,market,shazam,youtube) to free up some internal space.

Great great great phone, specially if you’re a google services user. Traded my n97 for this phone, best gadget decision I made this year (worst was buying the n97 :). Currently using the modaco 2.8 custom ROM, less lag sa UI, makes the phone more responsive overall. Phonebook integration with facebook and flickr is really cool! 3G connection with globe has been solid so far. And yeah, I love the idea that I have Linux on my phone :)

bigtime talaga si master yuga!

Brian_B’s comments make me want to buy this thing :D

This is one hot gadget… nice design specially that slight curve design. I sure hope that it will much lower than the rumored 40k. This will most likely be within the 25k to 30k price tag.

I got one second hand from ebay UK last month. 300 pounds which is roughly $480 or 24k pesos.

I like this phone over my nokia e75 because of the network capabilities (Full browser baby!). It’ll last you around 3 to 4 days without wifi. But wifi around 1 to 2 days depending on usage.

Another I like on this is the multi-touch capabilities which is wala sa ibang android phones.

Free and Paid Apps work here sa pinas. For Paid apps to be available you need a Smart sim I think. I got an O2 sim when I bought it but it connects to smart for roaming. I’m using Globe for my primary number. But with Free apps solve ka na!

Just a tip to make it snappy. Download nyo yung latest ROM and use a Task Killer.

yup. it’s just that, pag walang lights or konti ung lights, pangit ung kuha ng hero.
the stock rom with the senseUI is a bit sluggish, pero sobrang active ng android community sa xda at modaco that they made roms which are faster. this is the best phone i’ve had so far.

the UK got it first a couple of months ago, tanong ko lang sir abe, does the market work there? or may restrictions?

very refreshing design… made me smile the moment i saw the pics :)

Wow

for some reason, I find the second photo super-cool.
