Yes, same here, decided to move on to the Desire and I can honestly say I am not sorry. Will be selling the Hero, although I love it as well, but have to move on.

My Desire turned up today.
Whilst I love(d) my Hero, the Desire really shows what HTC Sense/Android should be like!
Regards,
Dave

Hurrah - I take it you'll no longer be boring us all stupid with your incessant intrajections - Truly a trip into the banal - Of course just my opinion, which I'm expressing with the same liberty as you've expressed yours - oh, methinks other caveats will be brought to bear - oh, the tedium, oh happy day
I could of course put it more simply but it'll only get me banned again and I tire of the form filling

Well, looks like you've made a habit of getting banned, carry on. This is a community, if you're bored, nobody forces you to come here and read our 'boring' comments. Plain and simple.

Forum demographics (male or female)

I must be wrong, but every time I see someone in this forum, I assume he is a guy. I must be wrong. Are there any girls here?
(sorry for the trivial question, but I just think it can't be true).

everyone knows there are no girls on the internet, sheesh.

ha ha ha ha. they don't care about their cell phones like us.

Not as many girls on this one as some of the other android forums but yes there are a few of us .... I'm mainly on SprintUsers.com but most links refer to here so decided to see what I can do over here.

Girl? What is this, Girl-thing, that you speak of? I'm intrigued...
LOL

LoL. I have had to explain at least 3 times to my girlfriend why she doesn't want to get the purple LG phone with flowers on it and the $70 unlimited data plan.
She is a pHD.
I don't foresee her joining this forum in the near future.

my girl couldnt even use the evo touchscreen. she just kept hitting it with her nails or something awkward *facepalm*
back to the razr she goes.

i once saw a girl on a linux forum and she schooled everyone.. it was one of the hottest things ive ever seen.. but at xda, i dont think so.. plus its probably better that i dont find out cause then i would only come to xda to answer her questions as soon as i found out cause even if she is butt ugly i can find the inner beauty in a tech gurl.. gawd, tech gurls are such a turn on
let me know if u need anything sasha

I've been checking out XDA since way back when I first got my FUZE. So much great info here. I rooted my FUZE and was very happy with the results. Now I'm enjoying the EVO. It's nice to see that there's at least 1 other girl on here! LOL.

My gf has a Evo too (She switched from a iPhone) and she is in love with Android and loves having her phone as she says "hacked" but we know as rooted. She doesn't know about XDA though, I just install the cool stuff for her

(Didn't like my post and regretted it...but had to wait till now to delete)

yeaaaaa... i agree.

My ex couldn't even figure out my iPhone, yet somehow my 62 year old mom figured out how to use her evo and start texting, too!
But other than that, I don't think very many girls know what a forum even means, much less how to find one. Haha.

sweetheart, comments like this is why so many girls have not posted. BTW, putting a HaHa on the end of a sentence still does not make it funny.

There are some woman here. Not sure how many though. My wife has my old hero and is eying my evo for when I grab the next best thing in a few months.

my grandma jus got an EVO she rooted it all her self......maybe i should bring her to this thread and to u guys dont u guys think so...........
j/k

I don't believe that hacking phones is a "girly" thing to do. or is it? I do wonder about some of you guys though.....
Just like you wouldn't really expect alot of girls to be drag racing. There are a few. And these girls are one of a kind.

I don't mean to stereo-type any women here....but it has been my seeing that most women prefer more of a girly like life sytle.... very rarely have I ever met a women who care about how fast a phone is.. how many gigahertz it has, how much RAM or the difference in kernels or software let alone all the technical b.s. we throw in between. But it is nice to see them around. For example... I serve the country in uniform, and while yes they are here in uniform. They don't much care for technical details of there job. They just show up and do what is asked of them. Nothing more. And again while most are wrapped up with clubs and fashion and what have you there is a small handful of them that do surprise us.... glad to see at least there are surprises here.

Woohoo! Go Evo! The only thing the iphone 4 has going for it is the handy end call button on the side.

Yeah, that made me doubt the polls a bit...

Voted. I can't believe they pitted these two from the start! This shoulda been the epic final! Hahaha

Doesn't seem like an apple site, evo's doing well so far, voted.

Dont look like they kept this going....wonder why? Could it be iphone got its ass kicked didn't wanna give it bad publicity are they afraid of apple suing them.....

its still going they just make a new page for each match instead of it being 1 page. look around you should see the rest in about 2 weeks evo vs gaalxy s should be going
the funny thing on most of the surveys they get around 800-1200 votes the evo they had around 6000. evo won with almost 90%

how aggravated do you get when people refer to android phones as "droid"?

IT PISSES ME OFF! like on a scale of 1-10, its an 8 for me. motorola is retarded for coming up with that catchphrase. now whenever i am playing with my epic, people say "ohh is that the droid for sprint"? and i say "NO ITS NOT CALLED 'DROID' ITS CALLED A SAMSUNG EPIC 4G. DROID IS A CATCHPHRASE, THE PHONE DOESNT RUN DROID, IT RUNS ANDROID!" sorry i am just ranting, but i know this annoys alot of other android lovers...

I'm not sure if it was Verizon's idea or Motorola to use the "Droid" brand, but every time you hear "Droid" on a Verizon commercial, George Lucas gets paid. Kind of ironic considering he uses an Iphone.

I started a thread on this a year or so ago lol pisses me off something horrible.

im sure there are tons of threads on this lol. but none in this section

Verizon owns the name...because Droid Incredible and Droid Eris were made by HTC..Verizon spent 100 million on that campaign which really made android break a lot into the market...
That said it does tick me off when people say that..but I don't exactly flip out..I just explain to them that they are wrong and its called Android, and Droid is a marketing campaign by Verizon..and how the Epic is better then any Droid anyways lol

Well it's certainly wrong but it doesn't annoy me that badly. Sometimes if I'm trying to explain to somebody who isn't tech-savvy "Droid" is the only thing they can relate to.
It's really the same thing as Kleenex vs tissue, etc. Like it or not Verizon has created an extremely successful marketing campaign.

They don't own the name. "Droid" is a trademark of Lucasfilm industries. Verizon pays commission to use it. Which is one of many reasons why their customers pay $20-$30 more than us.

Yeah it's Verizon, not Motorola

Isn't the "Droids" actual name the Milestone?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I don't know but for some reason I like the name Droid.I put the droid eye live wallapapers on both my Evo n Epic n even have the sound file that saids Droid on both phone for incoming text.On my Evo I put the Droid start up animation 2.I guess it's because my 1st android phone was a Motorola Droid followed by the Droid Incredible.

It's like people asking what's the difference between an ipod and an mp3 player..... NOTHING!!!!!!!!

haha, well played sir.

very annoying, even worse being the people that KNOW what they are talking about (ie, people here) being VERY excessive about it (ie, wallpapers/sounds/themes)

I always just reply "yeah, this is an android based phone so it runs the operating system as the droids and other Android phones."
Sent from my SPH-D700

Its annoying but I will say this, Verizon and Droid are a HUGE reason Android has been so successful. The Droid commercials are the reason I upgraded from my blackberry to the moment.
I usually just tell people yea its an android based phone same as droid.

+1 on above... bothers the retentive tech geek in me, but that marketing got the ball moving... that and I'm a little bit of a star wars geek... so I just clarify and proceed to attack iphone

well, i had the VERY first android phone, the G1. so i know it as ANDROID. i think that people that got in the android business before the "droids" came out are a little more...strict when it comes to that catchphrase. that's why it irks me so much. ive had a G1, MT3G, HD2 running android, EVO, and an EPIC.

I was at hooters once and the waitress made the comment "Oh is that the new droid phone" but it wasn't. It was a nexus one and I didn't defend it! Damn their service! It should of been andriod before hooters. Sorry android.

WOW Such development still going on XD

I'd just like to say WOW - I had a HTC Hero GSM (G2 touch i guess as I am from the uk and it was on tmo ) I've now got a desire, but you know what I actually miss the hero, it was my little Hero - I had it running faster (appearance - not clock speed) than the wildfire and the wildfire S (I used to tease my mates about it LOADS) I loved that little thing. Ok so I like the desire, its got better hardware yes, but I really dont care, and I'm glad we are getting ICS going on it, but at the end of the day its just a phone now. My ikkle Hero was never just a phone to me it was a HERO
Anyway I just decided to pop my head in and see if any1 was still developing for it, and wow am I surprised! it's got loads of people still keeping that awesome phone going! my congrats to the devs too for starting to look at ICS for the Hero! and to everyone else who it keeping it going.... I am impressed, and wish I had never given the hero to my g/f (now ex who bloody sold it for £50 -____- ).
I guess this thread has no real purpose... I just wanted to say well done people, and dont put your Hero down coz others have "better" phones, its all perspective. For the hardware the Hero has, it does so so sooooooo well.
Over and out

One Up for that
Some weeks ago my Desire just broke and I had to switch back to my old Hero.
I allways was interested in CustomRoms but never switched because I didnt wanted to lose warranty. But with the Hero already being out of warranty I started trying out Roms
Just great what the community is able to do with that hardware. So much better than the manufacturers rom. Current, faster and more functions build in.
If my desire wouldnt be repaired I would happily stay with the Hero.
But now I think I will give it to my g/f
regards
st

Well, I'm also back for a while only phone ever w/h (major) problems... though I miss the performance and size of my HOX..
