HTC HERO trails in 2nd place to Motorola Droid in this AdMob metrics taken in May 2010 from 12.7 million Android phones in the AdMob network.
Wouldn't you want to keep your most popular phone up-to-date HTC and Sprint???

I don't see the Evo on that. Outdated chart is outdated.
They should count the eris with the hero

Yeah this is total bs! But thank god we have our devs.... Where there is a will there will continue to be a way (for us Hero users to have the latest and greatest)!
i would love my hero more if i could get the audio to quit dropping on me........
does anyone know how i can fix it?

It's even more outdated then I though.
Point is, you can't say "your most popular phone," and then show an outdated chart, when they just released the Evo. The Evo is probably at or higher then the Heros level now.
Smart ass they won't have statistics until next month and the evo will most likely be up high on the chart. But just the fact that thehero is up this high really makes me wonder why HTC doesn't see a need to keep it updated.
After doing some looking around the list provided is the most current that is available regardless of the new phones that have been released. Kinda sad when this guy was trying to prove a point about HTC's and Sprints continuing support for one of its most formidable android devices and all anyone can do is knock him for it being an out dated list. Come on guys, if you are still using your Hero and plan to do so then cut him a break and agree to disagree. No matter how current the list is its not years old and it goes to show that us honored Hero users we are getting the middle finger from the big dogs and thats not cool. Wanna know why the droid surpassed the Hero? Cuz all of those god damn iphone loving ass bags that couldnt get it on VZW finally had something worth a damn. Plus not to mention all of the Apple cultist haters (myself included) that wanted badly to knock that damn swastika of an unholy iphone off its pedi stool.
The hero WAS the most popular phone until the evo came out and stole all of the thunder.

Well, until there are some statistics to prove it, as it currently stands, Hero is the most popular and most used phones HTC has out on any carer, anywhere and I also believe any OS.
I'm sure the EVO is going to be at the top next month but I wouldn't place my bets just yet. Don't forget that EVO is sprint only and hero has the GSM brother.
So once more... way to go HTC for not keeping your most popular phone up-to-date.

This is going to be a low-end android phone from motorola in like the $50 or less price range. not the G1 v2 or anything like that.

the pictures device is codenamed moto morrison. (not official name upon release) its suppose to be an entry level and aiming as a 99 dollar price with 2 year contract. and appeal mroe to teens.
g1v2 code name is bigfoot. (again not official name) but in other sources it says g1v2 aka big foot aka morrison.. and it seems like all these sources are getting things mixed up.
http://phandroid.com/phones/#rumored as u can see the bigfoot is made by samsung and morrison is made by moto.. so i am sure people are getting things mixed up. we will never know until its made official. i just wish the hero would come out for tmobile.. =( but there was a tmobile conference mentioning the hero and the reply was"they dont want nothign to do with the hero"
FCCA documents show the htc hero coming out on ATTs frequencies.. and since apple wants to leave att, the htc hero could be its successor.
This isn't exactly Dream related, but definitely Android related which is good for all of us, for those who aren't aware, sh!t just got real tonight as Verizon launched its first Droid(aka Sholes) commercial:
http://www.droiddoes.com
Not only is the commercial straight comedy in the best way possible(at the expense of Apple) but they keep it 100% real, no disclaimer required. I say bravo, wish T-Mobile had launched a campaign like this when the G1 rolled out, the commercial will play Sunday during the NFL games so people who missed it can view it in HD. Hey Apple, Welcome to the Revolution!
I was just watching that. Good for Verizon. Good for Android. I'll be sticking with my G1 and TMO but daddy has Verizon and he may be adding another line soon...
ilove it...Apple will "sauce" their pants
that was hilarious, i remember sir*mez saying something about that commercial last night.
Anyone notice that it says "DROID" is a registered trademark of lucasfilm at the bottom? Wonder if they're just allowing them to use the name or if there's more to it.
Would be funny if R2-D2 and C3PO ran android. I suppose R2-D2 would have a Hero rom and C3PO would have a motoblur rom, what with him speaking almost every language.

hey haykuro
long time, no see around these parts. good to see you are still around or maybe making a comeback now that the traitior is out in the open
yeah, Droid is a registered trademark of lucasfilm, so it's licensed but unless I'm getting Obi-Wan'd this is definitely the Droid I am looking for. The specs on it are awesome, and allegedly it's as thin as the iphone with it's sliding qwerty, can't wait till HTC matches this and throws it on good ol' T-mob.
looks like the htc dragon will be, or at least the phone they are suspecting to be the dragon. it has a keyboard too, that is what i am gonna go for
lets sure hope so..... but in case it is a bust we have thissss

When the EVO comes out couldn't someone just download that ROM and then load it on to the HD2? I am sure some tweaking would be needed but aren't they close enough hardware that you could do that?

Now you have to prove you have android.
We'll swap at the same time. On the bridge, just like last time.
we won't see android on this phone for a long time. you might as well get the htc evo and switch to sprint or wait until tmobile comes out with the htc desire (almost the same as the nexus one but with the sense ui).
yeah we will have to wait a while for 'droid to come to the hd2 and when it does... chances are it'll be far from perfect... still though.. would love to see it happen... dual boot!!! windroid! woooooo
Why didn't you just buy an android phone? What kind of sick mind buys the best wm phone to ever hit the street and then whines because its too hard and they want android? android will never come to the hd2. Return your hd2 and get a n1. You don't deserve this hotness!

2x, if you want android, get an android phone, stop whining and *****ing.
Ok np. Thx for setting us all straight.
Sheesh..no one here uses different OS or ROMS on their phones, no one here buys a phone for its hardware and hopes for the geniuses here to improve on the stock software.
Glad you two opened our eyes..
android its not really my bowl of soup. just take away the 3g issues and bugs and more stable software and I will be the happiest man on earth.

Motorola can suck it. Did we all forget they are trying to keep there phones from being unlocked? Also, cant you unlock the iPhone and get flash that way?
Lastly, most of us unlock our phones so we can get the extra featuers the devs left out or the carriers locked us from. Personaly the iPhone is just as capable if not better and doing some of the stuff our phones do. Not only that but it paved the way for Android. I never owned an I phone my rep on PPCGeeks is far above my posts so I am not a fan boy flagging you blind fools. Just stating the obvious. Ill probably never own an iPhone. Something about apple I just cant get it. They market these devices that all do the same thing. An iPod touch is an iPhone without the phone. Why would you need both and many people do by both. Whatever, not that you guys are idiots but there are just to many idiots spending money on something as dumb as an iProduct. Steve Jobs easily owns the pawns that by his crap.
Dang I am just contradictive today.
two things i love about iphone - games and battery life
other wise i prefer everything else about the evo
but to increase battery life i'm getting a second battery tomorrow - another thing iphone can't do haha
also i am an apple fan myself but not a fanboy of anything
preferances
android
mac os
my view on this matter is "no product is better then the other, just one happens to have features you like better then the other"

Oh wow, so HTC is actually listening to consumers? I didn't think companies did that anymore... Kudos HTC, very awesome.
HTC is just on fire these days huh? This is pretty awesome!
Just saw the Engadget article. This is why I love HTC over Motorola, Samsung, etc. They listen.
Lord only knows what the community will be able to do with a dual core unlocked device . Hopefully, sometime down the line, VZW will get one. My upgrade still isn't for another year anyway. So by then, I expect to see some pretty awesome stuff.
That is freaking awesome! I was thinking my next phone wouldn't be an HTC (which sucks cause I love my incredible) but its on now.

great work HTC......another reason why i love you!

Would this mean that HTC phones would be able to be rooted easily or no root would be needed... I have no Dev skills that's why i ask..
Well you'll still need to root, but you can install new ROM's easily with an unlocked bootloader, and without a lot of painful work.
For us Incredible users, we've been pretty lucky to have the "unrevoked" program that automates the whole process- but a lot of other phones have to go through some pretty annoying and difficult steps in order to be able to flash ROM's.
I've also heard that Motorola has jumped on the unlocked bootloader bandwagon, after HTC announced they would be doing it.
All good news, big props to HTC for listening to customers and making the move.
Also another article if anyone is interested in reading more into the story:
http://www.softsailor.com/news/8094...ature-an-unlocked-bootloader-from-now-on.html
If HTC sticks to this policy and the carriers don't get all pissy with policies on rooted/rom'd phones on their network, I'll never buy another device unless it says HTC on it... Good move, HTC. The phones, after all, BELONG to us.
I love it.
That is fantastic news.
