HTC Hero (CDMA)

OK.. i consider myself pretty tech savvy. But i cannot get my Yahoo mail set up on this phone. I get an error that says "Authentication failed. Please verify your username/password" i know i am typing it in right. If i set it up manually, using the POP settings, i guess technically it works but ALL of my messages are displayed, including my spam folder. And i can't break it down by folder. Anyone have any luck with this? I've googled the crap out of this problem and can't seem to find any answer. Thanks in advance for the help.

According to the Sprint site the Hero does not include a holster of any sort. Is this true?

One of my biggest gripes with the Palm Pre is that I'm stuck with Palm's cheesy ringer for Text Messages, Emails, and Calendar alerts. Does anyone know if you can download and assign Sprint's ringers for these different types of alerts?

Any suggestions on these three phones? I am concerned with the processor on the Hero and the 16 bit screen. The pre has battery life issues and only 8 gb of memory in it and the Samsung Moment may be bulky.

Do all these phones have real HTML internet? Or are they mobile websites?

I want full browsing capability. Also, anyone know how the calling sound quality is on any of these phones?

Any suggestions would help...thanks

Ok,

I currently have a CrackBerry Curve 8330 and there are only three pending phones that could get me off it; the Samsung Instinct HD, BlackBerry Storm 2 if Sprint gets it, and the HTC Hero. I know the Storm 2 & the Instinct HD will give you a full QWERTY keyboard if you tip the phone on the side (based on the Instinct & Instinct S30 and the Storm). Does the Hero have the same functionality? I don't think I could really function without a QWERTY keyboard. I have used T9 before (Sanyo 200, 8200 & Katana DLX) as well as full QWERTY (my Curve 8330 & a HPPC6700 aka HTC Apache) and I definately prefer the QWERTY keyboard. Next, will the phone be able to run apps from the micro SD card? 133MB of RAM is not all that much (the Storm 2 will...

HEY!

Can any Sprint rep let me know about having a data package on an android phone and if it would work with Sero? Also, ive heard the instinct can not be used with a Sero plan but windows mobile is?

HELP! Really looking to upgrade ASAP and want to make a good choice, any help would be great!

Thanks!

Go Sprint

this phone is most likely gonna loop me into another 2 yr long relationship with sprint on my next payday... 😳
buuut i gotta know, the apps that are available on andriod market, are they gonna wuurk considering theres no hardware keyboard on this thing?

I am a sprint customer and was wondering any reps have a price on the HTC Hero....

Why would they put such obvious effort into making what looks like an almost ideal phone, and then do something ridiculous like not include a flash for the camera. Also, they are kind/smart enough to make the headphone jack a standard 3.5mm, yet make the charging jack proprietary. WTH HTC. Still looks like the (almost) perfect phone for me tho.

This ships with Andy 1.5... is the Doughnut gonna be auto updated when it drops, can I d/l the update from the unit itself, or do i have to interface it with my home computer?

Anyone know how easy/complicated the Android interface is as far as sync-ing with a desktop?

I thought this was gona have it. Is Phonescoops info just wrong?

...seriously?!?! 😳

Can't get a hard date on release but the Hero is coming to Cell South. Better be a good price point , historically they are too high.

With the HTC Hero being the only phone that could get me away from Blackberry I have to say I like the GSM version of the Hero better.

We will see when it launches.

This phone could be quite nice.

They have done all the things I have wanted in a phone.
1. 3.5mm Headphone jack
2. Standard charging data port
3. Removable standard memory
4. a very usable web browser
5. CDMA radio so it actually makes good calls
6. Open applications market
7. Good connectivity with calendar, email, contacts

I for one am happy with the form factor change over the previous models. Yes it looks more "bland" but it is flat and has a smaller form factor/screen size ratio.

I think that the iphone is the standard that these devices should be measured against. I think from a hardware standpoint they have made some improvements (removable/upgradable battery, memory, CDMA radio, standard data/charging port, h...
