i’ve ordered a HTC HERO and it looks awsome. it’s got a 5mp camera 440 battery life on standby, brilliant apps and mainly all of them are free.

Tony, HTC Hero is really a good phone but only in a few months period there are a lot of other phones that are already out and are a lot better than Hero, i would recommend you to go for a powerful android device like X10 (which is supposed to be launched next month) or get urself a nexus one, u will get all the class of android backed up with a high speed snap dragon processor. Hero when released was no doubt the best android phone, but now with so many stronger phones in the market, i wouldnt be buying it if i was you.

Thanks bzzzzzzzz. Sorted the forwarding out – I’m a bit slow, clearly, so just caught on to the fact that I can’t bluetooth data, too. Anyone got the answer, please?

Hi Paul. To forward a message just hold your finger down on the message you want to forward and you should get an option to forward.

After the initial wow factor of the Hero I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t use fishtext (a facility for sending 2p text messages). Someone else says earlier that they’ve worked out how to do data transfer using the bluetooth. Please could someone tell me what app to download. However there’s enough good there to convince me to carry on using it.

Just bought a Hero on Orange and love it ….. except, am I missing something? Neither the facility to fwd sms nor the option to cut & paste is available? Aaaaargh! Any ideas welcome!

[...] the pick of the Android phone bunch is the HTC Hero, please read our review of it and decide for yourself if you fancy giving it away to celebrate Santa Claus’s [...]

Had this phone for 2 weeks now, and overall i find it very impressive. The style and build quality as mentioned is fantastic, i just hope a few months down the road the buttons don’t loose the white print on them, but a pleasure to hold and very user friendly when on its side surfing the web.
The interface is great, its not complicated and has a good vibrant display, and as mentioned again can be made to suit.
Wont keep mentioning everything that has been mentioned before, but for a pinch at the price of the iphone, in my opinion, has a better feel, looks better and i like the fact that i am not following the crowd up the Apple tree.

In a nutshell, easy to use, more than enough apps (but hope to see more), gizmo’s etc, and glad i went with Android phone.

Alex, I don’t know what you’re using, but that doesn’t sound like a G2.
I’ve bee the proud owner of a G2 for some time now and the only time I have ever had it drop signal is on the underground.
it has, by far, a much more impressive ability to hold the signal than my previous phone, (Nokia E71).

Generally about the G2, it’s fantastic! does everything you could need it to and then some, yes the lack of flash let’s it down, but for those of you interested, it can handle 32Gb micro SD cards with no problem.

Gorgeous piece of kit, well worth the money.
Android seems to have landed on it’s feet with this.
