^ Its 100% customisable who u want on which screen.. its so freakin good, u will forget wm forever; and cut paste is also easy dont worry; call x/y is totally customisable and according to my personal choice... more screen shots attached - I am also attaching photos of chat style sms; and multitasking on Hero (multiple softwares open at one time)

Screen shots -

Google Nexus one is in a different league altogether and hence cant be compared at par with the other two; in brief:- Eris and Hero have same processor (Qualcomm® MSM7600™, 528Mhz), same ram (512MB ROM / 288MB RAM) ; battery is 1300maH on eris in comparison to 1500maH on hero; little design difference like a touch panel on eris instead of dedicated keys in hero; trackball little smaller on eris; eris is slightly lighter due to lower capacity battery; and eris comes with 8GB micro sd card instead of just 2GB on hero (though all these devices support upto 32GB); both have 5MP camera without flash; BT 2.0; wifi; One big advantage of the eris is that it has PROXIMITY SENSOR, which the hero doesnt have, even though it retails at a lower price than hero; but the screen has 262K colour on Hero in comparison to 65K colour screen on eris... gps, compass, accelerometer, light sensor are common; 3.5mm jack and mini usb jacks are also common; Nexus One on the other hand has a 3.7" screen in comparison to the 3.2 inchers above; resolution is also 800x480 (compared to 320x480 above); But it is on GSM whereas the above are on CDMA; it has 1400maH battery; 5MP camera with LED flash; Double processor speed (Qualcomm QSD 8250 1 GHz); double ram (512MB Flash 512MB RAM); it also has a teflon coated back; proximity+light sensor; 2nd microphone for noise cancellation; Moto Droid on the other hand is different from this league due to dedicated sliding qwerty keyboard; It has a 3.7-in.; WVGA (480 x 854 pixels); 16:9 widescreen; Arm® Cortex™ A8 processor 550 mHz, 256MB of RAM, and 512MB of ROM, 1400maH battery, it has micro usb jack instead of mini usb; 3.5mm etc. are common with nexus one; It is also the heaviest of the lot; and not only sadikk, other people are also using it on reliance (maybe me also but I am not telling ) Software wise all are running different flavours of Android though within a month or so all should be on the latest version i.e 2.1. And it is Android in fact which is the main point of buying any of these phones; as it is open sourced, highly customisable; with 20000+ applications and growing...though the HTC sense on the HTC devices above (except the moto droid) does make a lot of increase in usability... There are some niggling issues presently with these devices which we are discussing in the relevant topics; so keep following them for more up to date feedbacks... but they are a class apart from anything we have used so far... and the most important thing is to START LIVING IN THE PRESENT..... what will come in the FUTURE you never know; if you keep waiting for newer devices, your wait would be endless... so start enjoying NOW rather than later...

Finally.... I am on 3G! Converted my existing Cellone prepaid from 2G to 3G through SMS. Activation of 3G took around 4 hours. I am still using the same 2G sim! Existing balance was carried forward but lost validity as 3G gives only max. six months validity. But hey, no probs. Used Gmail and Opera. Speed is good. I am using N73 and hence no HSDPA. Some how I felt the response time(the time to start loading after clicking a link) while browsing on Opera to be longer than on Vodafone-2G as well as RGSM. May be due to distance of 3G tower. I am receiving signal strength of -91dbm while I get -76dbm on Vodafone. There is no disconnection of network. Kept it on for 4 hours. The GPRS used to get disconnected on RGSM at least once in 2-3 hours. Connected to PC and the speeds are definitely better than 256kbps. Did a speed-test and got the following result http://www.speedtest...t/685291550.png one more... http://www.speedtest...t/685292685.png Pings are high. mostly >400ms on foreign servers. Connection on PC is not as stable as on Mobile browsing. Tariff as you all know is 1p/10kb. So Re.1 for 1Mb. They have to come up with a reasonable UL plan. Btw, this post is using BSNL 3G!
