Ordered my Hero from Sprint on Thursday (10/22/09) and was told that it would arrive within 5 days garanteed. Now I keep getting the status update on my order as Backordered and no one at Sprint seems to know when they will be able to ship me one. Did they sell out THAT fast? I called some of the local Sprint stores and they all have some in stock, but none are "Corporate" stores so I can't just go pick it up there. The stores haven't heard of any shortage. Maybe it's just not my day today, huh? LOL

Its just a comparison to apple's app store which has over 70,000 apps. Android now has over 10,000 apps. Since everyone's up apple's a** nowadays, you can't avoid hearing references to apple. One has to understand that apple had a couple years head start on this, but the android OS is open source, and anyone can add apps to the market. Actually its easier for android market to expand faster because there are no dumb restrictions on their market like apple has. So, if you're concerned about there not being enough apps, 10,000 is plenty for now, I have a G1 and I check the market everyday and new apps are added constantly. I wouldn't worry if I were you.

Just a question about the Sprint Hero. Does it have voice activated dialing or hands free dialing of some type.

why did tmobile release the my touch instead of just keeping it the hero. seems like it has a slight edge over the mt3g considering it's pretty much the same phone

Hi, Noah. I noticed a new phone on the at&t website called the Nuvifone(TM) G60. Do you have any information or specs on it? I haven’t seen it before today and am curious. Maybe you could make a review for it sometime.

If anyone has any information on this I would be glad if you could share it with me. Thanks in advance!

You're constantly calling it slow, yet, I never see it in your videos. Where are you getting that from?

Don't know exactly how much it'lll be full price but the Original Unlocked GSM Hero started off around $580 but is now down to $450 at some places online.

So I'm guessing somewhere between there.

Noah as a person that owns both capacitive and resistive screen devices I must say thet resestive is more accurate for typing and hitting smaller buttons and links. I don't have small thumbs either.

Capacitive is not better for 2-hand typing. Try hitting J and while holding on J press D with your other hand and let go. Which did it register? Atleast with resistive you can keep both thumbes on the screen because it wont register anything unless you apply a little pressure.

Capacitive screens are great for their sensitivity and responsiveness but other than that they are flawed. typing takes longer. You have to keep your thumbs in the air all the time. I would love to challenge you to a txting contest. My Topaz against the Hero.
