Looks amazing. I'm really looking forward for the review (I'm hoping to get this as my first smartphone).

If I could make a small request for the review, could you touch on the subject of how the new HTC apps and widgets compare to native Android apps and most used Market Apps? In other words, what does the new mail app mean for GMail users, how does the Twitter app compare to alternatives such as Twidroid, are those a trade between integration vs. features, things like that?

Thanks, and cheers.

would it be possible to get a system dump off the phone?!

I'd like to know if there was the pattern-input lock on the phone in addition to the slide to unlock.

Hi Chris,

What bluetooth profiles are supported? You NEVER see any information on any site about this, but I find it quite important. For instance, my carkit has Remote Sim Access Profile so I would need this to make a connection.

Hey Chris,

Would you mind trying your HTC Hero with doubleTwist?

http://www.doubletwist.com

doubleTwist helps you sync your media to various devices and automatically converts video to the correct format for your device. We already support the HTC Dream and HTC Magic Android phones.

If the Hero doesn't get detected as an Android phone (i.e. you don't get the Android icon and there's no video tab), then you can use the Submit device info feature to help us add support for it.

Thanks!

Jon from doubleTwist

Update: forgot to mention that we've already added support for the Samsung Galaxy and it will be included in the next update.
