this phone is actually dam nice, has great features and you can customize it any way you want (not like iPhone with static list of boring icons). I might get it if it hits AT&T]]>Jul 6th 2009 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/htc-hero-pre-release-model-taken-for-a-spin-previewed-in-russia/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/htc-hero-pre-release-model-taken-for-a-spin-previewed-in-russia/And I don't care if you have to make the phone bigger to do it.

Is that asking too much???

But when the hell are we going to see a VGA Android device? Come on, HTC, you don't really expect me to put down my Diamond and lower myself to iPhone resolution, do you?]]>Jul 7th 2009 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/htc-hero-pre-release-model-taken-for-a-spin-previewed-in-russia/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/htc-hero-pre-release-model-taken-for-a-spin-previewed-in-russia/

1) Ergonomics for 1 handed use
2) Protect the trackball when flipped over
3) Unique, to be different and stand out

Only concern is, I've grown to love the seamless synchronization of my contacts and calendars with my MobileMe/MacBook Pro. Anyone know if there are any services available like this?]]>Jul 6th 2009 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/htc-hero-pre-release-model-taken-for-a-spin-previewed-in-russia/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/htc-hero-pre-release-model-taken-for-a-spin-previewed-in-russia/There are two things that tempt me to the Mac platform... one of them is the promise of seemless integration between MobileMe/iPhone/Web on a family pack. The other is the ease of use of iPhoto.

THere are great things happening in the MS cloud including Mesh (love it) but I still find MS's online offerings to be a mishmash.

Anyway I'm drifting away from ym point... I can appreciate your appreciation of seemless integration.

If only I could see evidence of Tim Schaaf laying the foundation for the same with his current employer]]>Jul 6th 2009 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/htc-hero-pre-release-model-taken-for-a-spin-previewed-in-russia/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/htc-hero-pre-release-model-taken-for-a-spin-previewed-in-russia/

He means you can customize EVERYTHING on it; not just the icons.
