Two words: It's Hero.

Its ugly.
Keyboard is nice, but what a waste of space on the "chin"
Not that the G1 is the most aesthetically pleasing phone out there.
Interesting indeed.
Nice... but you know ATT will cripple the crap out it.

Not surprising.
Unfortunately, there's a note here that "Initial Lab Entry dates were based on Google Mobile Services (GMS) UI, AT&T standard UI has been requested, which puts schedule in question." In other words, AT&T wants its fingerprints all over the interface, which risks pushing out the launch -- and that's a double whammy of suck

"unique social networking interface" has my attention.
And now for more than two words:
The ring around the trackball makes me think they'll do the Circular Zoom thing from the Touch Diamond, which would be nice.
EDIT: Wait, that looks too big to be a trackball. Oh god.
i was kinda mad that its going to att but now that i saw the reso;ution 240x320 im happy.
att wants their fingerprints all over it lol
I wonder who'll get this in Europe though, where ATT don't exist

not only that but a 2.8" screen. I don't know what HTC was thinking, but they missed the mark for most android lovers.
What i'd love is if this had a similar (or better resolution) to the g1, larger touch screen (3.5" ?) touch pro 2 keyboard, at least 8gb internal flash, and HERO! lol ok that will be a while
I didn't even think Android supported that small of a screen. That shows me.
Actually, considering the screen on this is only 2.8" instead of 3.2, it's not bad, but I thought that the Hero would at least be equal hardware with the Dream and Magic

Maybe it is time to send HTC a message and say goodbye. This thing looks nice and if it has the specs of the original Galaxy......

im sorry guys but samsung is a joke when it comes to smart phones, i will never own one. they should stick to making tvs and whatever else they make non smartphone related, i have also heard bad things about evo, something about the screen messing up at the bottom for people causing led bright light to shine so bright under the screen, kinda like that separation from the screen and the bottom of the hero how you can kinda see the light. I hate tht about the hero, why couldnt they seal that better. just piss poor

I do agree with your assessment about Samsung.....as far as software is concerned, but I have to say that the hardware and or manufacturer that Samsung uses is FAR superior to that of HTC. I came from an Instinct before the Hero. It was absolutely the worst software ever introduced on a phone but it was also the best hardware that I have seen to this day. Combine that with the upgraded tech inside and Android for the OS it really cant be bad. Then again, after the Instinct, I swore that there would never be another Samsung in my pocket. lol I'll probably keep to that promise.
While i agree that sammy's suck.. this looks to be a great play for sprint.. the more hi-end androids the better.. maybe they can steal some thunder from verizon and their onslaught of droids..
If sprint will market these hi-end androids against verizon and att showing that the plans are way better.. etc.. and do it right..maybe sprint can gain some some customers etc..
Take dan off the air.. bring back the pin drop guy from way back.. then promote the hell outta the plans and phones.. lol sure fire win in my book.. or just show some t & a holding the evo etc..lol
My fiance has the moment and I do kinda like theslide out keyboard, nice for the terminal apps and stuff. Also nice when you dont feel like swyping or typing on the virtual kb.

you are correct about sam and their hardware components. Far superior to htc. Is this sam going to run android? i guess i should take a look at that link.
I don't like samsung phones, but I do like power.
This phone has a 1ghz processor, but that doesn't say it all.
Supposedly this particular 1ghz HummingBird processor is 3 times more powerful than the snapdragons we drool over.
Crappy software...maybe...but AOSP on this thing? HOLY CRAP!
