Sense UI Overview: HTC Hero 

"Lemme go ahead and tap that. Heh, tap that." You crack me up in every video.

that was so deep info. that i needed about that phone, thank you so much Mr. Jon

This is an awesome phone. TELUS in Canada is releasing it this week with the new Android 2.0. Can't wait!

@zodaka32 The simplest considerations are, HTC HD2 runs Windows Mobile 6.5, the Hero runs Android, the far superior OS. Also - unlocked, the latest HD2 prices I've seen runs somewhere in the $800-$900 range while the Hero can be found for around $550.

I've heard that current firmware updates and the use of a faster SD card in the device have solved the lag issues

Excellent review! Do you maybe know which US Carrier will utilize the hero?

It's a trackball, many people use it to scroll through items instead of sliding their finger on the screen. It comes in handy at times.

wait is this version available in like at&t because they have one at sprint but it doesnt have that like chin thing at the bottom and its fatter and stuff.

thanks honestly i think the g1 has the best touch screen to the iphone i have also used the pre

I use my windows mobile 6 for business. Can I use this phone? Or should I just stay with the WM?

what do you think is better, the Sense UI coming on HTC Incredible or Android 2.1 on Nexus One? i want to get an android phone, been looking at the Nexus One and just found out about Incredible so i thought i'd research the Sense UI to see which is better.

what's the purpose of the scroll wheel at the bottom?...

I hope with the 4th gen iphone coming probably june/july of 2010 that they remake the OS for the phone to compete with the android, the androids OS is nice and i love the customization features in it.

"heh go and tap that" hahahah I cracked up and its like 3:30 am lool

yo john r u gonna do a unbocking vid for the tmobile mytouch

jon i get the feeling you don't like the hero ? how does it stand against the iphone in your opinion ?

7:07 is that what your tapin jon?

that phone is so awesome, once its on 3g and in the US it will be amazing. Is this going to be in US this year?

about how long is the battery life?

Its coming to sprint in Oct

Looks awesome.

i have a iphone 3gs thinking of getting this instead seems good

im lookin for a new toy,i have a 3gs is the another phone out there to bother with?

used to have that phone, was so good

much better intro than "whats up guys and girls" !!!

i really like the home screen. but other than that nothing else really appealed to me.

Jon YOU ROCK!

Wasn't the g1 made by HTC?

i like the ability to have a background in the back i wish apple would just allow that on the iphone ans ipod touch.

So far it's only rumoured. They also say there will be an AT&T version/AT&T will require it in the US.

'Go ahead and tap that.....heh' LOL nice Jon XD

You just bombarded the iPhone in this review, and I kinda get you...

Very nice looking phone.

well i have an iphone 3g and HTC G1 to tell u the truth i love the G1 for its customization :D i installed the hero rom and i love it more than the iphone.. maybe cuz it has less restrictions

Such a legend

"So we're gonna go ahead and tap that" lol

Yeah, it makes it easier to press the buttons + use the ball easier when you're using it with one hand.

I don't think you would. Its CPU/GPU is significantly inferior to the 3GS (Cortex A8) and more on par with your existing 3G (2yr old ARM11). Translation: It's likely to often be sloooow/choppy

Is this on Verizon?

I hope you're right but i'm skeptical. I like the device...even ordered one but cancelled because i've been spoilt and can't tolerate any lag whatsoever

haha tap that This is the same phone as the HTC Eris right?

2:15 looks very similar to the iphone! even the order of worldclock, alarm, stopwatch, and timer is the same!

yup

htc hero has got the best UI, it beats iphone - from one of the iphone users on the web

I like the way they did this better than the iphone

HERO! Id never touch a winmo phone again.

Ui looks good, but it seems very choppy

theres a fly on the right side at 0:18 - 0:20

"mail was a bad choice" lol

I reordered and have a brown model. Yes it is superior to the iPhone in many aspects but multimedia capabilities/performance are still inferior to iPhone Also it is definitely buggy and needs a major software update but it is still a great phone...just needs to be baked a little more

jon i

Well, do you really think that only Apple fits to the description "Everything they make has a purpose and is made to be better than the competitors. "? I guess that this is, what every other company is aiming, too. And I think that many succeed in doing so, too. (Look at the Android Phones and the Palm Pre with webOS, they both are innovative and better than the Apple iPhone in many points, if you ask me)

I think Mr Google is tapping that ;)

that's what she said!

what because it changed

And an easy fix to that would be a software upgrade.

Great Video

I meant to the iPhone OS

Iphone wouldn't exist without the LG Prada, Monk....

That OS is a prettier version of the iPhone OS.

lol " go ahead and tap that!" =)

u know companies just send him phones and stuff to do reviews on so that if its good all uss pplz would want to get it

Agreed, bare-bones Android is pretty rubbish, even on Android 2.0. And as far as iTunes sync goes you'd just need to get 'The Missing Sync' which uses iTunes to put your non-DRM music onto any Android device, as well as Calendars, Email etc. It costs, but hey, with the 90% of free-apps on the marketplace you'd soon make up the difference compared to the iPhone.

1:15 sweaty hand mark on the left, nice :/

3:38 THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

i guess you get facebook app on android store

nice

wow the ui looks sexy

you can download one for free on the market

The OSX is the best !

couldnt have said it bttr myself

also if you look at the battery is the opposite. haha just thought that is cool

wow dude its 7 screens its not that much

Hey jon nice video how much did that cost and thanks for the comment on my channel please reply to the message i sent you thanks jon your great

lol...I didn't get it at first

I think its based of it

haha i actually laughed a loud at 3:40

iphone 3gs ftw!!!

Wowza that is one sexxxy phone, I think i would consider trading in my iPhone for that!

fellow tech heads?

Prove it.

hahahaha i'd tap that made me laugh awesome review man keep it up~~

haha. me too

3:41 haha

tap that, haha

hahaha

lmao.

hah i was gona comment the same thing

lol 3:40

4th comment

1 st view

you got a lot of dust on your desk clean it

No home button? It does have a decent one, you are just lazy. However, I do think addressing the scroll bar would be a good idea.

that doesnt make sense

Made by HTC, Powered by Google.

Im sure you wold know, as you seem the type who has definitly owned an iPhone.

i had to restart this video like 3 times im watching cheaters : P four words HOTT LESBIANS HIDDEN CAMERAS XD

the only thing putting me off from this phone is that fuckin chin =/

You say 'quite' too much
