just got an htc hero smartphone…well actually it is from t-mobile and they call it a g2 touch. runs android 1.5. see here for a review.
after getting a replacement battery (the first one only lasted 12 hours at a time) i was liking it very much. wasn’t too happy about the t-mobile stuff bolted on to it though…
the solution? create a ‘gold card’ that enables you to downgrade the phone and replace the t-mobile ruu with the official one from htc.
follow these instructions very carefully and you too can have a t-mobile-free htc hero. you’ll need a microsd card that can be formatted, your usb lead and a decent charge in the phone. the whole process takes around 20 minutes. well worth it.
great phone with loads of free (and high quality) applications from the android market.
