Battery Life Update: Experimented using Hero without data; only Voice and sms; and its been 2 FULL DAYS and still 30% juice left; so it should last 3 DAYS on voice with my kind of Voice usage; @10-12 calls of 3 minutes each and 10-15 sms per day; thats PHENOMENAL.... note: GPS was always ON... with Full Blast Data ON it lasted me FULL DAY on voice and data including wifi and data on simultaneously, along with GPS and bluetooth.... Pretty good, eh...

^ lol, u dont seem to have understood our concept of using these foreign phones till now... we never buy these phones at those prices... thats why waiting for cdma nexus one on verizon which will be available at approx 170$ and then we will work our MAGIC.... and try to use a Android phone first and then start commenting on the google fanboys... lol... u will forget ur nokia's, samsung's, lg's and windows mobiles etc. etc....

^ arre, aise darao nahin bhai... how will newbies learn...

how did u go into car mode? do let us know...

:clap: Hetal Back into rom building after long long time...

done...

I have not tried yet... will search for better option...but at least u rooted which by far more important...

^ I am sure what you are posting is correct and cannot rebut anything as I have not used Nexus One; But I am using its younger sibling Hero; and by the experience so far, it is one of the finest devices and even more important the finest operating system that I gave used on a phone till date.... and as Nexus One is superior in all respects, I dont see why it will not be even better than the Hero... The negative publicity in many cases can be due to the fact that it may be making many bigger players crawl under their skin; as Android is just a year old os... I hope you get my drift... no pun was intended...

going for this soon.... unfortunately available only in postpaid cdma...

Rooting link I have given of XDA earlier; follow that link and root; dont be afraid... all will sync back... only benefits of rooting; in any case u r not going back to sprint for warranty.... lol... You can follow this guide for rooting - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583291

Few Pointers - - I flashed new modaco rom earlier. Was facing issue of few icons not displaying properly like Peep (Twitter Client) and Voicemail; Resolution - went back to nandroid backup (in rooted device, press home and then power to access that menu) and did a wipe (factory reset) and then flashed rom from zip file on my sd card. Its incredible, no computers's are needed to flash roms and everything can be done from the device itself. After new rom loaded (in 5 minutes or so), just entered my gmail address and everything synced within minutes and all my contacts and calendars were restored. Total procedure of ROM Update and Restore Data - Less than 15 minutes. - the Delivery Reports in SMS are very good and specify exact name/number of the person delivered to and the time delivered (unlike windows mobile); Useful when sending same message to multiple recipients. - You can send Group SMS directly from Phone; the application is built in . But for that you have to create Groups which are automatically saved in your Gmail contacts also. - In SMS there is no Sent Folder as the SMS is saved in Chat Style. Also you wont see the Draft Folder by default. To save a message in Draft, just Compose a new message and dont send it; just press the back button; it will automatically be saved in Drafts and a new Drafts folder will now be visible in Menu. - Phone can be made Silent or Vibrate directly from the Volume Down Key. - Planning to shift to Postpaid as these NUC charges on data will kill me...

^ BS.... placed by google's irate competitors...

^ lol.....

obviously you need to be rooted; rooting is must....

palm was palm; wm was wm... this is android and we need to get used to its way of functioning... not evrything in other os was perfect, and android is also evolving... many new things coming in 2.1... 1. answered, till some crack comes 2. try the attached file and report back whether it worked 3. answered 4. on 1X data and voice cannot work simultaneously; only on evdo it can; wait for it.... 5. call recording is not supported; use Gmail to backup everything even sms (LOL), Calendar inbuilt is very good, use the mini widget that is inbuilt to display upcoming events of next 2 days; it does not play avi; convert MPEG4 or 3GPP with H.264 or H.263 and MP3, AAC, or AMR audio. Videos need to be 480×352 or smaller to play back properly; use dafualt player or download Video Player from market; Inbuilt Music player is exceptional and nothing extra is needed; 6. no idea of rss reader, search market com.alex.BluetoothFileshare-1.0.3 1ST EDITTION.rar

^ grt news man...

Some good and some BAD reports - 1. Found very good option for editing my txt files (thats my alternative to notes for wm) - called simply textedit; download from Market... Also has a full fledge notes application inbuilt... 2. Very good File manager (explorer) - Linda (what a sexy name) File manger.... Now the bad parts- 1. There is some issue with bluetooth transfer of files aka iphone... I have searched a solution; will test it and post soon... it shud be solved; wireless hansfree etc. is perfect... 2. The default IM is not signing into yahoo and windows live messenger due to blockage issues with those respective companies... (LOL - They hate Google)... There are however lots of 3rd party softwares which enable you to log in... will post some good ones soon... And there are 20000+ applications available in market.... main to dhoondte dhhondte thak gaya hoon... lol...

Phone as Modem (Mobile Internet Sharing) - is working Perfectly from Hero

SMS : All my sms's have been backed up to my GMAIL account.... wow... a separate label sms has been created automatically... and henceforth all my sms's will be auto synced like email from my android device.... I m lovin it.... Name of application: SMS Backup by Christoph Studer... Its FREEEEEE.... download apk here - http://code.google.c.../downloads/list or directly from (Android) Market from your phone...

^ yes, 12 inbuilt; hundreds online...

^ yeh sab biwi naa hone kaa natija hai.... kewal technology me hi dimag rahta hai.... lol...

after long last I get STOCKS widget on my phone.... jiski vajah se main TP2 lene ki soch raha tha... a very minor thing but nonetheless... and by god, what a collection of watches.... Rolex... move over to Hero...wish i could wear my hero on my wrist... maine faltu mein g-shock manga li.... lol...

^ @pranav - i am conveying exactly what u r reading... lol @sadikk - i am on default plan; i.e. no plan; 50p/mb+nu.... aur abhi tak BB pheka nahi (aur zara jor se phekna, shayad meerut tak aa jaye)... uska ab kya fayda hai...

MAJOR DRAWBACK OF HERO FOUND : its not as flashy (bikini babe) like iphone.... its a more sati savitri types.... jo tumhara sath nibhati rahegi... nibhati rahegi... tum uska kitna bhi uthpidan karo....

nobody is getting evdo on bb for actual internet or data usage.... it has started in corby for actual internet use only.... work is on... patience will pay... anyways first hoping for nationwide evdo roll out, only then its going to be truly useful...
