First Jason Ellis on Howard Stern, second there was no traffic on my way to work, third boss sends out an email saying drinks are on him tonight and now this.
What a morning.
However... this line right here:
Multi-touch and anti-fingerprint coating too. Hero arrives in Europe in July with T-Mobile and Orange, Asia later in the summer, and North America even later in 2009.

Hopyfully someone can dump the image until i get a hero :-D

Anyone know of any huge differences between the G1's MSM7200A processor and the Hero's MSM7201A?

It's clock speed out of the box is 528mhz for one. I'm sure it can be pushed further even.

Well i am not too worried about the processor since both are clocked at 528 but what worries me is the rom and ram which the HERO has 512MB/288MB ROM/RAM while the G1 has 256MB/192MB ROM/RAM. This might mean that the hero we have now might be just as slow as this new version. I hope not but the ram really worries me.

Why would you think that? I doubt HTC would push out a laggy phone.... Plus the hero we have now I doubt is the final RC.

288 MB are enough for Rosie and the phone to work fast enough ;-)

The finished Hero looks pretty cool, as does the Sense UI interface. Can't wait for the inevitable port of the Hero's ROM to the G1

I would have to say that this is the first non physical keyboard I would consider buying. T-Mo US should have waited for Hero. Damn I would easily drop $500 for this unlocked. But I guess I will have to wait for the newest Hero port to the g1

It says the battery has a capacity for 7 hours of heavy usage, the dream only has 5,83 hours!
Looks nice!

I want the browser right now.

Sorry i meant if we want to port it onto the G1. I meant to say so. Sorry for the confusion.

Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't tell the difference between hero and magic.... the specs are identical... http://www.htc.com/www/product/magic/specification.html

Camera seems to be only difference... and the UI.
EDIT: Oh and the processory 7201 vs 7200

no physical keyboard = no buy, but I'm desperately waiting for some hero to port this over when it gets released

A bit jerky, when browsing though. HTC should have put a beefier cpu into the hero.

I'm not complaining as I'll be running the firmware on my magic...

Hero vs Magic

I have a Hero but im thinking of changing to a Magic because theres so little developers for the Hero and i'd like to run android without rosie.
Would you recommend me to keep the hero or not? And why?

I thought they were pretty much the same just the magic looks better than the big chin hero

trade
ill trade ya my magic for the hero lol

I have a Magic but the Sprint Hero looks like the Magic.. switching phones from one to another serves no purpose as the Magic can run Hero ROM's with no problems... as is evident by my Youtube video

Hmm the design is quite difference IMHO. The hardware on the other hand is the same except for the camera which is 5mp on the hero. But i don't think he is reffering to the Sprint Hero

If you end up trading make sure you get the 32A Magic in case you ever do want to run Rosie again. The 32B needs all sort of memory hacks to get it working and even then it's not the best (in my humble opinion).

Dont change it....
At least its confirmed that Hero willl get Android 2.0....

If the Hero gets it i can't see why the Magic 32a wont get it as well, at least im sure that the xda developers will cook it for us as soon as it comes to the Hero

good news (may be)

You have to be a very bad person my friend!!

My friend you sold your TP2 because the HD2 has the double amount of Ram and double the processor speed. Because it is an revolutionary phone.
It is good news because it indicates that HTC starts to support more and more their devices, and someday maybe you will get an update that will make very very happy. If that happens i don't think that will you complain then.
I write those things with all the respect of course! I didn't want to insult you!

You should tell HTC to stop doing that, so that they never make any updates to the HD2...

The best news in a long time!
That means there will finally be full landscape for Sense!
Can you please post a link to that update?

HTC Gratia Froyo sense ROM? anyone?

Hey guys I just found out about this european version of the htc aria coming soon and running froyo sooo I guess we can get a port over to the slide when a leaked rom is found... right? check it out is suposed to come out in november but the leaks always come out sooner xD so maybe we will finally see a froyo sense rom for the slide by next month or christmas

this just might work

From looking over the specs it would have similar issue as the myTouch HD ROM, only in the other direction... it has a lower resolution than we do.

it wouldnt, it has the same processor and the same resolution... whats smaller is the screen size xD
i think it would be an "easy" port... but im not a dev so idk...

Yeah I was suffering from a momentary case of cranial flatulance on the resolution. For some reason I saw 320x480 and was thinking QVGA not HVGA. So yeah in theory other than adding the coding for the hard keyboard it "should" be fairly easy. Maybe Ace or Miquel could take a peak and let us rookies know. I can flash like a champ and help out with some minor issues/questions but am mostly code-tarded

haha same here... guess we have to wait for the leak or a dump to come around and then try to get it working on the slide

This rom would be portable, I never heard of that phone, but I'll look it up for some info... Kb support can be done, has been done 100's times on G1+sense roms.

Well, this probably means that an official Froyo release for the Aria is close too. One thing that kind of concerns me is that I have seen more than one web site state that the Gratia will not run the "new Sense UI". I am still within the 30 day return window on my Aria, I got it because a) I did not want to be like 90% of the people around me with a iPhone 3GS or 4 b) it is small, I absolutely despite the size of the Galaxy S. However, if this is already incapable of running today's OS I will likely return it and grudgingly get an iPhone 4. Unfortunately I am stuck on AT&T on account of my wife and daughter being iPhone drones.

I wouldn't worry too much about it not running the new Sense. a) You haven't used it, so you don't even know if you'll like the changes. b) A ROM is sure to surface. c) I didn't think I'd like a ROM without sense, but now find myself really liking the vanilla Android experience.
So if you like the phone, I wouldn't return it based on what it's officially not getting. The wonderful thing is that there are options.

I did it. Still has some bugs though, but I'm loving it GratiousSlide in the dev section.

Has anyone ever been able to find a Froyo dump of that HTC Gratia ? I'm looking for it, but I can't find anything even here on XDA :-(.
EDIT: I should have searched better. LOL. Just found some traces of a rom based off a Gratia stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715. Thx.

There are plenty...
Here is one that is the latest Asian Gratia froyo leak one I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062149&highlight=football but still running FRF91 2.2.1
Here is one that has FRG83G (2.2.2) but it is AT&T branded and you will have to change a few lines in the .xml files to enabled "unknown apps" install. http://dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exe

[Q] New HTC 3D Theme?

look at the end!

Sorry about that.
Houston We have a problem.

lool , how would u make 3D on non 3D device simple impossible m8
And that home screens scrolling, that was implemented loong time ago in MIUI RoMs ( at least )maybe some other launchers can do that too. But I have a MIUI RoM for a while and all I can say I would not change for any other style. Well maybe if someone offer me a brand new phone for free with other style Android But still would change it back to MIUI for a while

It's good advertisement made by HTC. Unfortunately the effects of the 3D would not be that nice and crisply clear.
If you read this
http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/htc-evo-3d-first-hands-on/
you will discover that the 3D effect only work when the phone is facing you.. sad isn't??
won't work on the HD2 has the 3D effects requires a special screen specially designed for it. The screen on that phone has got also an higher resolution [qHD]
I mean the EVO 3D is a truly piece of art, so if it's available in your country go for it! I think it's the real successor to the King HD2.
however you can get the interface sense 2.1 without 3D effect on the HD2 easily.. just have a look to the NAND development
hope this helps
and remember it's not everything that shines is gold

Try to check this, thats the video about the same phone what he mean
HTC EVO 3D
