Alright everyone, I'm bored, figured you might be too, so think hard...
Lets hear the 3 COOLEST things, you've done / figured out on your Hero CDMA.
#1 - the red phone looking button on the right can actually be used to turn your hero on and off!

#2 the hero fits comfortably in my hand!!!
Well
Well I guess those are pretty cool....
I'm sure someone can top that?
1. Gained control over the phone by Rooting it.
2. made it mine by flashing Roms onto it.
3. made a voice memo that said " THIS IS MY PHONE SPRINT! SUCK IT", set it as a ringtone then had my buddy call me when I was in the sprint store paying my bill. LAWL!
lol
Lol sweet
I got mine rooted with damage control...been trying to get torrent application working I think that would be the sweetest
That will be my number one when I get it working
Also I have a 32GB card so I have TONS of songs thats number 2
and im not sure on number 3 yet
when i was putting in a 16 gb micro sd i found out it already comes with a 2gb one. i still needed the extra space but i use it for other stuff so i was pleased to find that.
Nobody has come up with a #3 yet?
#3 - It Rings when someone calls you!

That's still up for debate...
drop it in a bucket of water and it still works hahaha
1. I can make it look and work more like the N1 or MT3G Slide with custom ROMs from XDA when I get tired of the stock Hero look and feel
2. Or I can just speed up the latest Hero stock release through OC!
#1 - The screen displays colors!
#2 - I can MAKE CALLS with it!
#3 - The trackball MOVES.
1. Looking at porn

The number two coolest thing I did with my hero is install Darchdroid 2.7...
The number one coolest thing I did with my hero was give it to my sister...
I had to make room for my evo somehow!

I have the option from T-Mobile to get the G1 for $150. This is to replace my HTC Wizard that I currently have.
Here's my questions.
#1 Are there working N64, PSX, Gensis, SNES, and Nes emulators on this?
#2 Is the App Store required to install software on the phone?
#3 How's the port of Quake 3, 2, 1 on it?
#4 What's the coolest thing you've seen it do?

For #1 & #4 Look at this webpage. I can't live without navigation, this phone just makes it easier
#2 No, you can do it through SDcard or USB. Most of them will have the market(app store) on pre installed though.
#3 Quake 1 has been released, very playable.
And regarding the coolness factor:
I just got it managed to install debian with bluediving and metasploit on it.
Now I have a portable BT-sniffing-and-hacking-machine.
At least imho this is quite nice

Hey, remember that "Text Hypnosis" game? This is where you read a statement and then cannot help but be affected by it. For example:
*You are now aware of how large your tongue is in your mouth*
or
*You are now blinking manually*
I wonder if it works here:
*You now have a strong urge to buy a G1*

Haha, just as I read your post the new iPhone ad came on "This is the new iPhone. It can do some pretty amazing things, like copy and paste!" My God!
Yeah they are everywhere, everyone has one, I don't want a phone that everyone else has...
No idea why so many people are angry. I'm not here to make fun of the G1.
The phone to me is superior to the iPhone. Apple has too much control of the app store. So much so that it caused this very person to fire bullets at his 3GS. Not to forget that this phone has a qwerty keyboard and some external buttons.
My concern is over software. I've seen a video of Quake 1 running on it very slowly, and I can't seem to find any ports of N64, PSX, Quake 2/3. I've heard that some people say it's because code is written as Java?
The price is also right. I just don't wanna go buy the phone and find out 1 year later a G2 is released, when the above mentioned applications are finally written and running full speed.
it was pretty much as beautiful as i though it would be, my co worker is the advocate for our store. ill post pics later the packing is a little on the wierd side, but its eco friendly lol.
***pics posted taken from hero came***
***update2 just posted 2 new pics video coming when i upload it***
I don't know why the box is making headlines... its what's inside that matters. I love the box, new and eco-friendly.

Comparing the screen to the iPhone, is it glass or plastic?
I'm switching from iPhone to Evo but I have not had the chance to hold one and compare build quality.
My question is how much lag is there? Not just the home screen but the apps. FOr instance, when you open messages, how long does it take to display things? That's the number one thing I hate about Sense. Too much f-ing lag.
joecrack305, if you're in miami let me know which store so that i can come check it out.

Wait for the op's pic.
sorry havent responded
i have both hero and iphone and they feel plastic, the evo def feels like glass.
lag wise not existent at all i swear its so smooth
jvs60 - no ones technically suppose to know about us having the evo, but every corp store in america has one person with a evo. my supervisor is the one with the evo and i know my manager def wouldnt be a happy camper if i told you to swing by, but go to any store in miami and ask to see the evo advocates phone test your luck.
tried seeing one at my local corporate sprint store. met the advocate who had it, said he was sworn to not show it off or he would get in trouble.
it is so awesome. I feel like the guy from the burger king commercial who has the small hands and hates going to burger king when I am holding it. It is pretty big, and comes with an 8gb card in it. No lag at all when putting live wallpapers on there (unlike my rooted hero). Damn I love this phone!
giddyup!
I feel like such a school girl! This thing won't be out for another 3 weeks, and I'm scouring the internet for everything EVO!
From what I've seen online, the lag is minimal...remember it has a Snapdragon 1Ghz Processor in it...Go play with a HD2 and you'll get a feel for the speed...Android 2.2 is supposed to be faster than 2.1 from what i heard also.

Coverage reasons in my local area.
They are great in metros but in rural coverage is spotty and most of the time roaming. At least around here.

Can you play with the keyboard? Is it easy to type and stuff? I am coming from using a slide out keyboard so I am kinda worried about having to start using a onscreen keyboard.
thanks
The hero was my first onscreen keyboard and the iPhone was my second
The hero I'd give a 7
the iPhone 10
evo so far a 10
The screen is so big and easy to type on it's amazing for the hero I use swype now and I will probably use that in the evo when I switch
So yesterday i received a cr-48 from google. I about **** myself. Being one of the lucky ones i decided to start a blog that compared my evo and the netbook. What I'm looking for is ideas to do comparisons on. From simple to complex and anything in between. After a day of pretty intense use i haven't been able to find much on the basic side of things that one trumps the other on.
So shoot me ideas on what i could try to make these 2 devices do battle with. Post 2 will be reserved for things covered and things to be covered. I will try to keep up with this as much as possible and post my review and comparison at http://evovscm48.blogspot.com/

At least give us a picture of the thing, sheesh.
How is the call quality on the netbook? I know...bad comparison. I bet the evo wins.
This gives me a great idea! I got these apples the other day, I'm gonna go out and get me some oranges and do a comparison.

Wow, you got your Cr-48 late. I got mine 2 months ago when they first started shipping.
Have you discovered where the dev switch is yet?
Hell...I'm just happy I got one.
I just got mine too a couple days ago.
I haven't gotten one yet, still hoping to, but I've seen some other sites that say that the cr-48 has Bluetooth in it so that plus the Verizon card built into it might work for calls or voip.

As someone who has owned an iPhone4, only thing better is the camera, and I guess the screen, but I don't really care about that.. Show them ANYTHING ELSE and they will be impressed.
Also, I bet when the Evo was announced, the person making the announcement was able to get a data connection on their phone.

.... why doesn't the iphone have widgets? such a fail. Thats the biggest thing its lacking imho.
Hm... Widgets. 'Nuff said. I'd like to see an iPhone search the App Store from the phone's homescreen. Or for that matter do anything besides open its programs. I would have thought the big clock and weather widget on the main Sense screen would be enough, that was honestly part of why I chose the Evo over the Epic. (that and a dislike of Samsung after my horrible experiences with my last phone)
edit: yes, show him custom ROM loading and backup, plus how easy it is compared to the iPhone.
steve jobs.. dont believe in widgets!
Wireless tether, hulu, and Angry Birds. When I first got my evo the Iphone people would eventually default back to "I got angry birds" since that was the only thing their phone could do that mine couldn't. I suppose you could show them qik even though it sucks, it is definatly going to be the future of phone callls.
[OFFTOPIC] SGS2 is a total disappointment... "Important" functions NOT working...
I read about all the features of the phone, it all got me very excited but some things are not working...
First of all, it doesn't bring me beer when I use vlingo and say " get me beer"
Second of all, Crysis 2 is not running at all. Phone's not that fast..
Last point: I put my phone into airplane mode, threw it in the air.....
Worst transformer ever.....
The rest is working pretty damn fine, so its maybe not a total failure. What are you disappointed about?
First I was like "Hahaha.. NOT" but after a few seconds I started laughing at your post xD
I have not been blessed with a GS2 yet, still waiting. The only thing I could be disappointed about is: build quality/how it actually feels in (my) hands. Further the TouchWiz and Battery life are two things I am semi-worried, but you know TW can be replaced by custom launcher or ROM and Battery life should be decent with tweaks.

Build is better than it looks, but the same goes for the sgs1. Dropped mine once and nothing to see, wiped the grains off and no damage at all. For the sgs1 you could buy stronger backplates and the same will go for this phone, looking at its sales. Samsungs internal build quality is actually one of the best in the business so I wouldn't be to worried. Touchwiz 4 is quite nice. Huge improvement over tw3, still I ditched it within 2 days. Launcherpro all the way for me
It's so thin, i can barely see it, wait...
because the thing i am disappointed is, that we still not have it here in Germany.
We should get this Phone about the same time as UK, but forget it. We are still waiting for that. Most of the people are ordering the phone in UK or Austria because they have it already and not only that, they still get new charges.
I like this Forum and i would like to make some Tweaks on this phone too, but i don't even know when I can get it.

First and foremost, this phone is utter crap, it ate hundreds of my lovely British pounds before I could even pick it up.
I thought it looked amazing so I spread some cheese on it, but it didn't taste ANYWHERE near as good as it looked, now it turns out I need to feed it even MORE money before it will work again...

They ARE the best in the business. Look around, nothing comes even close. They manage to fit virtually everything in (more ram then anyone else, quality cpu, screen out of this world) light and this THIN -->

Other companies are feeling the pressure now. 4inc and over screens need lightness otherwise it just becomes a brick, but then they have to fit in all the top specs inside too and they don't have the tech yet to do that.
