launch is may 22nd
250$
I actually used one for more than a few minutes. last time I saw it it was still very unfinished now it is awesome!
it is using Wm6 so for yall that have been waiting for for winmo 6 pro the time has come. u WILL love this phone I hope the price drops some it could become very very popular.
Is it TMo's policy to post ROMs for just-launched phones on their website? If not, all of us with Dopod and HTC Heralds will have waited in vain. No one has been able to extract the Herald OS from the ROM successfully so far...
its the 22nd no phone yet..
I see it on the website as an upgrade option. Check under the Handhelds tab.
it was put up after the post i made
ordered mine today and used one in the store for a lil, took some pics. it's pretty sweet looking and feeling in person people. can't wait till thursday!
I would like to point out to those who forgot that it has been exactly 1 year since the Tmobile G1 and Android were officially released.
sadly, its getting outdated, which sucks cause i love my g1.
Lets make this a reaction thread. What did you do when you first turned on your g1?
i turned it on and couldnt stop smiling. i no longer needed an iphone >:]. of course at the time, hacking meant nothing to me, it was just a cool toy.
My birthday is today so the G1 was a great gift I bought for myself last year. And this phone been a gift everyday since.
I got bored with my old phone in less than a year but the G1 is always evolving and stays interesting.
That said, I can't wait until a worthwhile upgrade comes out.
I only just switched to the G1, still love it! I got the Xperia X1i when it was still pretty new, but decided to switch after several months. I'm glad I did!
hey,
so i lost my touch hd2 finally got over it. my insurance company is going to give me the value of the phone £499.99 according to play.com
my question is should i wait for another phone? or get another hd2. i loved the hd2, obviously somethings werent perfect but hey every phone is like that.
are there any upcoming phones that look exciting? saw the nexus one, but its kinda ugly !
i saw someone posted the US version has higher specs and im going to california mid feb, as long as its unlocked i could get this.
thanks!
Personally I would grab another HD2, but if I were you I'd wait until Microsoft announce whatever they are going to announce at Mobile World Conference on the 15th. Then make a more informed purchase

If you loved the HD2, get another one You can always wait longer and longer adn perhaps something sweet will be announced soon. But then you'll have to wait some more weeks or months before it's actually released.
Wouldn't get the t-mobile usa version though since it's specifically made for them, using different bands then in europe so it's prolly useless here (for making calls and such at least )

The HD2b has not had a release date. It's been rumoured to be some time in spring, so you've got quite a wait if you want that. Besides, you won't get 3G with it as it's specifically for TMO US. Basically, forget about that phone. The extra RAMAROM isn't really that big a deal anyway.
Get another HD2
Nothing special here at the moment I'm afraid...

I do like the looks of the photon...!
Buy another HD2 for £403.50 from Amazon and keep the £95.50 towards a deposit when there really is a phone worth upgrading from the HD2 for. At the moment there isn't a great deal of choice, but in 6-12 months who knows what might be available?
With the latest official ROM, the HD2 really is a very good smartphone.

Thanks for the link dude and also thanks for the help guys!
I know I could go and buy a new N1 with a Google Dev account, but I'd rather save a few bucks and hopefully help someone out here that's looking for an AT&T N1. It's of course rooted with the unlocked bootloader and running the latest Nightly for the last few weeks. Does have a ding where it fell out of my truck. I am having to leave AT&T because they're idiots and have pissed me and my wife off for the last time. Anyway, PM me if you're interested and of course feel free to ask any questions.

This should be posted in the Marketplace, plus you might get more responses.
Good luck in the trade!
Well, the Hero's first birthday or release anniversary is next Monday. How long have you had your Hero for, and when do you plan on keeping it until? I got my hero on launch day, rooted it in December, and plan on dumping it next month.
Got mine back in march and it's just been getting better and better with the outstanding dev support and dedicated community we have here. This had been my first Android phone, and what a wonderful introduction it's been!
I'm in no hurry to replace it, but of course some of the new handsets out there are damn tempting..

I've got mine since Oct. 8, 2009... from a Sprint store, I lucked out and was able to buy it two days before launch
I got mine in April when I came back to Sprint from AT&T. I dearly love my Hero, especially since I rooted, but those new phones are awful tempting. :-D
Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!
I got the Hero sometime when it started to get cold and dark here, ie October or November, and I didn't root the phone until early this year when I got tired of waiting for the official Sprint update (to 2.0? 2.1?).
That seems so long ago. The software updates from this community have been super but the phone is feeling old and underpowered. I get to upgrade in November.
I'd love to upgrade to one of the 4G android phones but wonder if I should wait a little longer until the next greatest phone is released.

This is the problem I'm facing. My one year upgrade is in April, but I'm unsure if I should upgrade or wait it out.

Got mine in January. Rooted about a month ago due to wanting some froyo. My upgrade is in January. Thinking about waiting for the new mobile processors to be out to upgrade.
Got mine on launch day, rooted for some froyo a few weeks ago. I'll probably wait to upgrade till a new model makes me go "oh wow!" which nothing on the radar has done yet.
I will not upgrade until sprint has dual core phones next year... if you buy the evo or the samgsung your making a mistake.

A lot of us are in the same boat. The companies like to keep us guessing so we can't plan too far ahead. I've Googled a bit and can't find anything definitive on new phones in the next few months.
Any clue when dual core phones might be released?
I can wait until January, but if it's gonna be say April, I might as well have an Evo 4G for as long as I can. My market has 4G now and the tether would be useful.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I don't like having outdated technology for too long, but I would wait it out if it wouldn't be too long. Some of the people at my Sprint store say that 4G comes around these parts (Jersey Shore) in December and something codenamed HTC Sabor, dual-core 1.5ghz is coming out in April. With the rate technology is advancing, doesn't seem to far fetched to me.
Got my hero last November and still love it to death. I don't plan on replacing it when my upgrade comes next month, I want to wait and see what's coming out next year first.
Running cm6 is my only saving grace really. If it wasn't for that rom I'd probably have dumped this for the evo by now.
My main use of the phone is email, rss, and tethering. As long as it continues to perform those well I should be able to hold out till the dual cores arrive. I hope heh.

I got mine back in May this year. Rooted it, (thanks regaw!) and tweaked it with NfiniteFX's roms. It is my introduction to Android phone, and I've been impressed since day one. I'm keeping mine at least till my upgrade.
I got my first Hero in May..it lasted a 1-1/2 weeks..traded it in on a TP2..one of the worst mistakes in cell phones I ever made.I went through 4 of them before finally getting a Hero back last August. Rooted it on 8-26-10. This month Sprint broke my contract I had..and will be moving to a Galaxy S Captivate next week.
I can say it has been quite a bit of fun with them for the short time I've had them rooted.Too bad for the person buying it,since I will revert it back to 1.5 via RUU before shipping it in..( All 4 of my families is already sold and mine needs to be made stock so sad..) Hopefully the Captivate gets as much love from the developers as the Hero has..I've heard Cyanogen is considering porting CM6 over sometime..and if we can get the new Gold theme the Impaler and others have been working so hard on over..I'll be very happy..
I am not too worried about how it will fair against what is coming out.,and what is speculation.It has a very strong and quite separate CPU & GPU with gobs of storage and ram available,and when FroYo is out for it this quarter..will really come alive then. Being able to oc it as we have for the Hero will be a 2 fold job for the developers..one for the kernel..and one for the GPU..
I see faster and smarter phones with better themes on the horizon for everyone..

I got mine six months ago. I'm going to keep modding it until it dies, or until the dual cores come out. Whichever comes first.

i got my hero on launch day from best buy on the 8th of oct last year and i just upgraded to the epic 4g on the 8th of oct yesterday after getting a good deal from sprint
I got mine on release day. Had to drive all over the city to find a store that still had one in stock. I questioned it at the time but after I got the phone there was no such worry. It has been a great phone and I will hang onto until I find something else that can live up to the expecations I know have.
I am intrigued at what Palm might roll out. I had the Pre for almost a month before this phone and if it was for some bad hardware I would still be a Web OS owner. Android is great but Web OS was pretty awesome. So I will wait to see what else comes.

WebOS was so nice. If only WebOS would come out on a phone that has good build quality... One can hope, eh? But like most of you guys, I'm just going to hang onto my Hero until it dies or something ridiculous comes out.

I purchased my hero in june and rooted in the second week of owning it
