Now, looks as if Android will be my next phone OS. Certainly look more exciting than the Symbian OS. It also comes with a decent 5MP camera, a plus.
Here are some pics from eprice.

Android is my choice of OS for this year and next. The speed it is progressing is pleaseing. Symbian and Apple are moving too slow for my liking.

I have a question, will this phone ever be unlocked? Or in other words, are there any plans for global availability? It seems to me the middle-east is actually lacking the android OS phones...
I've still got to look into the file associations and available applications list to be convinced to buy one. I didn't get a Black Berry Storm 9500 for that reason. |

I didn't get a Black Berry Storm 9500 for that reason. If you buy it SIM free it should be unlocked. Not sure what frequencies are used in the middle east, but it is Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: - 850/900/1800/1900 MHz - so there's a chance it will work. As for file associations, not sure what you mean exactly? |

I think I phrased that part wrong, I was looking after availability of both Java and Flash applications, because I'm learning to develop applications.

According to Engadget, HTC Hero is on sale tomorrow (22/07/09) at Orange UK. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif) The Orange UK website has a dedicated page for HTC Hero. Anyone in UK have plan to get one?
Hopefully it will be available in Malaysia soon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
