Hey Guy's

Following on from the iphone Vz Hero debate, I've finished my Blackberry contract on O2 early and bought a HTC Hero.

I think it's a fantastic phone (better than the iphone in a couple of areas, but not overall IMO) - but the biggest thing for me Vs the iphone is that Apple's finest is a bit of a "clitoris Phone"

So, since I am a complete technology numpty and I know few people on here are HTC users, do you have hints/tips to help me get started?

I've followed a few of the steps in the Get Started guide, but was bored when it got to "insert sim card, then battery" so didn't read the rest...

Cheers,
Steve

buy a class six micro card and a silicone cover ...

a cool free app to download is the google sky map and Tunewiki ..tunewiki automaticly downloads the album cover when you play the song and beebplayer for when you are in a free wifi area and want to catch up on top gear.

turn off mobile network and data roaming unless you have a deal with your network for the internet.

Which is exactly the reason why I changed my iPhone for a Google G1 - a bit like the Hero on steroids coz it has a pull-out qwerty keyboard. I must say that the Android os is very good with loads of apps available.
I'm due to change contracts soon and I think I am going for a Hero this time (the G1 is a bit clunky by comparison)

where does one find the loads of apps for the Hero? Following my last thread on the subject, I did a bit a bit of a search but couldn't find a lot of apps on the 'net.

I can get one Tomorrow as that's when my contract expires so it's decision time for me

Is the phone running Android? If so, do a search for "Android Market". There are tons of free and paid-for apps available.

Although on my Google G1 it already has an icon called "Market" which takes you straight in...

Google Maps & Google Sky Map are very good.

yeah the HTC Hero has an icon called the Market also ..thats where all the apps are,,,

good to see another post from mookaloid

I found hundreds on Bittorrents too

go take a look at the htcpedia and xda developers forums
