Where did you get your HERO

[wcked]

I'm curious to all the hero owners where you got your hero.At bestbuy or shipped from sprint.The reason why I'm asking, is because some of you guys may be experiencing with memory leak or sms issue.And i'm not facing it.

have you noticed a trend with that? there first big release was the touch pro, the best buy bastch of the touch pro had the chipping and cracking chrome problem that would appear for no reason, the pre batch they had once again like the touch pro before everyone else and they too had a problem in the oreo problem, and now with the hero the batch that seems bad is the first batch that seems to have been coming from best buy.

I got mine from Sprint, and have not had the not receiving sms issues. However, my battery life sucks more than any WM phone I ever had. There are other things that I am still annoyed with, but I am trying to be patient and just trying to learn the thing. One thing I figured out is syncing with my Outlook and Gmail contacts made the phone way more laggy than it already is. I have only my Outlook (Phone) contacts now and it seems to be working better. For the record, I have several friends who had trouble getting sms with their G1s when they first came out. I'm gonna try and stick it out with Android, but got a chance to play with the TP2 and that thing is a BEAST. Tempted to return the Hero and go for TP2.... I have just one more week to decide....

i love them both, i have the tp2 and the droid eris (eris hero for most part) i like the eris better and dont experience any lag, i have 300 less mah in my battery and still only needing around 15 minutes to make it through the day in normal heavy use like i do to my devices.... the battery seems to be the same as the tp2 so going to try that out and see what that does for the battery life if it will fit since slimmer than the hero and the battery cover already rests pretty dang close to the battery. did you do the new firmware update the other day by any chance as well? also i would stick with it to tell the truth and it will get faster, have you rooted and tried custom roms at all? the tp2 is a great and sexy phone but having a phone of smaller size can be nice at the same time as well.... and remember that tp2 is going to cost you extra money to upgrade too unless you get a nice rep...

Yeah, I most likely will stick with Android for at least the year til my next upgrade. The TP2 would cost me and additional $150, and that is pretty significant. I did do the firmware update a couple days ago, and that might of helped speed it up a little too. I haven't gotten into custom ROMs yet either. And have not rooted it. I read somewhere that if you did the firmware update, that you could not root the phone afterward?
