Hi all,
First post, but I've been lurking for a bit.
Anyway, I just got my Hero with Sprint about a week ago and am running DamageControl's current ROM. It's a killer phone, but from what I understand the Droid has more processing power. I've got another 3 weeks to give back everything and get free Droids with Verizon.
I know this is a Hero forum, but I wondered if anybody knew of a "benchmarking" resource for all Android phones.....
thanks!
PS You guys are amazing! I can't believe the amount of product that comes out of this board.
as we all know, the hero was obsolete was 6 months before it came out. youll go broke trying to keep up. save up your months with sprint and get the evo when it comes out, you wont regret it ;-)

or wait for the one after that with the 2TB internal storage and stock blowjob app.
whats after that? lol
i like the hero and am willing to stick with it until the evo, and as for whatever comes out after that...i dont know. (android, htc, ect) will eventually release their own iPad, im sure, but i guess its a matter of what YOU want. i got a great plan with sprint (54$ for unlmtd everything) with great coverage (detroit it a major city, its bound to be set up good for the 3G user) and a highly customizable phone to say the least (ill admit i was disappointed when i got the hero, learned of the nexus and all the new upncumins) and am excited to move onto the evo, and can wait patiently.
well, idk about patiently...but ill be waiting...

I was able to see the evo up and running the other day.... WOW. Slim and sleek and very fast... took about a 1/3 or less of the time it took the Hero to open stuff. It was running on 2.1 as well and look really similar to Damages 2.1v5 ROM. This handset is going to really help out Sprint. Only thing the one I saw lacking was they hadn't activated the 4g on it yet.

Yeah, after studying competing prices, I don't know that I could stomach what everybody else is charging. I just don't get how anybody is competing with Sprint at this point!
I'm paying $129 -%15 for two lines, 1500 minutes, web, txt, and mobile-to-mobile. ANYBODY else charges $40-80 a month more!
I guess it's good for us they're so desperate for customers
PS I'm curious as to the price of the EVO. Any guesses?

HTC is hacking 4G support into the Evo. Just like they did with CDMA

At least until the next android update (Froyo) is out. I believe Froyo is supposed to support 4G natively
haha, yeah it does. they had it on another phone of theirs in the past (winmo). I wonder what video formats will be supported natively. I hope they add .avi support.

im still stuck on the freaking kickstand.
Just ask regaw_leinad for a copy of his backported leaky bj app...that'll take your mind off things for awhile.

id love to see a full working port of android for the tp2, id hop on that super quick. the design and screen resolution is awesome. other than that id say if you want fast wait for the n1 or evo.

I got a Verizon 3g in the US as well, nothing for me either yet.

Its a phased update, a lot of america might not have it yet. You'll get it soon I imagine.
Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire.
Ok, fingers crossed. I was told it would receive updates, but I don't know if its classed as a UK or American Xoom. It doesn't have the books tab in the market. If anyone in the UK has the update, please shout up!
Had the update this morning, so US Xoom's in the UK are getting it.
Lordao
im in the uk with a uk xoom wifi only running 3.1 although not from Google. I used brd'd 3.1 update on these forums. Works lovely. Its a nice update. I also want SD card support so official isn't good enough for me.
Let me know when. U get it!
I got the update on my US Wifi Xoom in South Africa, so it should definitely be coming to you guys.

I do, but if I try to launch it says "not installed".
I had same issue with movie editor program. It is just the shortcut that is broken, if you add another one, it should work.

It was supposed to be discontinued May 21st at 6PM but it was delayed due to a new wrestling app being developed by Randy Savage and his Godly crew.

That doesn't mean anything, as soon as the next best thing comes out the old ones are dropped fast. Phone companies are notorious for this.(Verizon is the big one) The Samsung Moment was EOL'ed, but still got updates. The Droid was EOL'ed as well but Motorola and Verizon still put out a Froyo update for it, and even replaced Droids that had the camera issue with Froyo with a Droid 2. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised of the Evo was EOL'ed sometime after the 3D's release.

The evo is still on backorder some places, I doubt they'll discontinue it for awhile
IT will sell a long side the evo 3d
I think the thread title should be changed to "when will the EVO be discontinued."
The current thread title indicates or causes one to think that it has already been discontinued.
It'll be dropped to 150 after the 3d drops I bet.

im personally waiting for the next Sprint Nexus with LTE.. I figured our little 4g now isn't going to be upgraded much within the next year and I already dont get it as it is.. Lets just hope that Sprint can figure out that damn GPS problem with the LTE we just signed up with..

You think they will release a version for T-mobile or do you suspect they will put both t-mobile's and AT&T's bands on this phone?
Hey,
This morning my xoom arrived. The after spending £430 of my hard earned money I started to feel rather skeptical as I had never played with any android 3.0 tablet or even held the xoom in my hand before. At 11.00 the postman arrived to deliver, opened the box and switched it on. The initial impressions is that this is by far to best piece of tech I have invested in. Thinking back to my ipad I really did question why did i bother ith tht junk.
Just a quick thank you to all who advised on my previous posts about the xoom, it's brilliant.
Have a good day, and jordan
Glad to see u like it let the modding and fun begin =]
