I've got a new phone! (Hints and Tips needed for HTC Hero!!!)
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.

It seemed to originate around the time of the Ford XR3 which was
described as above (but not a phone obviously). It is generally taken to mean that "every c**t's got one"

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.
