I will keep my Hero until my contract is up (next Feb.) which seems like forever, considering my mom, dad, and bro have an evo (I told them too because android is the best and their contracts ended after mine) anyways by then a new Android will be out on Sprint, that' my plan.
[Hero CDMA General] greengiant1969:
My contract to renew is next month. I'm thinking of getting the big evo but I think that I may hold off to the Sprint announcement on Feb 7. The only phone I won't buy is the iphone so I'M hoping for a different phone.

I just bought my wife an Optimus S and I am impressed. Can't beat the price - free at Radio Shack and it us very fast. First thing I downloaded was angry birds and it played with no lag.

Finally convinced her to ditch her Palm Pre! !
[Hero CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
I think the evolution is already long in the tooth.

I think I'm going to keep my hero and get a tablet and tether it.
[Hero CDMA General] Nsandhu23:
Im waiting for the new Evo 2. I think Sprint will announce it on February 7th or they will announce it at CTIA. I think the release date will be aaround summer time. Im passing on the Shift for a few reasons. I want a dual core phone and I hope HTC will release their Superled soon. Which is why the new Evo will have the super led and gingerbread preloaded and no keyboard and hopefully new sense ui. That's what I want, I know its a bit much, but with Sprints fail at CES I think they are working on something big.
[Hero CDMA General] joka10:
yep im probably going to keep my hero for as long as i can I've had it for a long time already and i see Im not missing much.
[Hero CDMA General] Dread 7us:
I just got the evo shift. This phone is fast! Even at stock 800mhz it beats the regular evo on every benchmark test I've tried

some people get over 1700 quadrant.

How is the keyboard? I used it at Best Buy it seemed okay but I think all the people messing with it made it feel crappy

i was thinking to keep my hero for a while....well...yesterday i played with my wife's Evo...i put Evervolv GB built....that thing is sweet....so fast and looks so awesome....i think i will get the evo next month...

Here's A Little Advice Man,

Take It For What It's Worth....

If Your Considering A New Phone, Checkout A Site Called....

"Wirefly.com"

I Don't Work There, Don't Get Commission From Them, In Fact Have No Ties At All To Them!!

Besides Witnessing My Girlfriend, Buying Her "Droid Incredible" From There, & Getting It Shipped Overnight To Our House For $50!!

They Beat Any & All A The Prices I've Ever Came Across, & All There Phones Are "Brand New", Not "Refurbished"!!

They're Legit As It Gets!!
[Hero CDMA General] kostov22:
thanks....but Radioshack actually has it for 50 bucks cheaper....anyway...thank you

evo shift

It wasnt by choice. Was watching the packers game this weekend and beer bottle tipped over on coffee table. As a result, the phone would not recognize the sd card at all. A few hours later it stopped booting. hmmmm.

I called it in (business account) and they made me take it into a Sprint store. Well, I knew that wouldnt end well. And it didnt. The guy that looked at my phone said I should've put the original ROM on it before bringing it in. Well, duh, I might have done that if the phone recognized the card. BTW, card was fine, and I could not get phone recognized in ADB, but it would charge.

So, I got the Shift. Yeah, the EVO is bigger, better pic, but i really wanted my keyboard back from touch pro. It's fast, I will say that, so if it takes a few weeks before our devs can root it, i can live with that.

The Hero served me well. :)
[Hero CDMA General] Dread 7us:
The keyboard is good but I don't use it that often. One annoying thing about it is that when u close it sometime you hit the volume rocker since its at the bottom of the keyboard

[Hero CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
I played with one today and that was my biggest annoyance who puts a volume rocker there
[Hero CDMA General] jwalk40:
And to think the girl at Best Buy tried to tell me that the original EVO was faster (citing the "lower speed processor").
[Hero CDMA General] crash447:
I am about to upgrade my hero. I can upgrade before the 30th and I am deciding between a Evo, Evo Shift, Epic and Optimus S. I am mainly wanting something a little more powerful. Issues that are/are not a factor.

1) Money-Yes a bit

2) Speed/Power-Yes

3) Large Screen-no

4) HDMI out-No

5) Physical keyboard- a bit/very little

6) 4g-Not at all

Didn't know if anyone had any thoughts on how the above models when rooted would factor in. Like I said speed/power is the main concern although I am not needing something ultra powerful. If the Optimus S provided a decent improvement it would be fine, especially since it would be cheaper. Any thoughts or experiences?
[Hero CDMA General] jwalk40:
I haven't really spent a lot of time with any of those devices, but from a purely monetary standpoint, any of the 4G phones will cost you an extra $120 to $220 (and beyond if you don't upgrade at the first chance) over the lifetime of the phone.

I've spent the most time with an Optimus S and I can tell you that it is an upgrade from the Hero, not an EVO like upgrade, but certainly better. Stock OS (once you get past the Sprint ID stuff), better processor, Froyo, etc. That said, I don't think it has near the developer community you have experienced with the Hero. I guess that was the advantage of buying the first Android phone on Sprint.

This bump in data pricing is playing my hand as well, but since I live in a 4G capable area at least paying the $10 feels like I'm getting something more.
[Hero CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
With sprints new 3g premium data $10 charge their will be no price variance I kind of think that is why they are doing it
[Hero CDMA General] julwo:
Pal carajo sprint! I just got 2 mytouch 4g in 2 for 1 deal!! and the monthly payment just are in a 3,000 shared minutes $150(limited offer) +15% off because my wife work on Walmart... and this phone is sick I got like 1700+ on quadrant
[Hero CDMA General] Lyonfeather:
I'm planning on keeping mine. But if I do update my Hero it will get passed on to my son who would love to have it since he is using my old flip phone.
[Hero CDMA General] v3lly2:
i plan on keeping my hero, until something a little better than the evo comes out. the evo is stll one of the best phomes out there on any carrier, but i think sprint has something up their sleeves, which is why i'm not getting an evo before march.
[Hero CDMA General] tlford82:
I just got my Hero last year, and I'm not giving it up for a while yet. I'm really anticipating CM7 so I can rock Gingerbread on this thing.
[Hero CDMA General] Nsandhu23:
That's what im hoping for so I mess with this thing as much as I can until a HTC dual core, maybe evo 2, comes out
[Hero CDMA General] TJinWV:
I've only had my hero for a couple months. For me, it was between the hero and the desire. You XDA guys actually convinced me that I could do what I wanted with the hero, so I saved some cash up front. On nTelos, I can get a new phone in a year, so this will definitely hold me over until then.
[Hero CDMA General] :
check my thread out in the theme's and app's sub-forum :D

edit: link is down but read the thread though anyway (whistling....) :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] spleef:
Stuck for at least another year.using the word "stuck" loosely;the hero has been best phone I've ever owned
[Hero CDMA General] kostov22:
i was thinking to get the Evo next month(after i played with my wife's) anyway...i think i will wait for a while....my hero is running flawwlessly(thank you AOSP)

i mean...for a phone that is what? year and a half?(in tech years thats like 79....:)

it is a little phone that Can....!
[Hero CDMA General] mozman:
i'm holding on to the Hero for now. See what Sprint has up its sleeve with David Blaine. plus, i'll hold off for a dual-core based android phone!
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
Ain't that the truth!! :D
[Hero CDMA General] WiseManWhite:
Haha I like it!
[Hero CDMA General] SammyM00782:
I'm keeping mine for a while. I read about that whole Premiere crap going down with Sprint so I may be upgrading before April just because. I wonder if I could just go get one and keep my Hero activated :-) EVENTUALLY I'll need a new phone right?
[Hero CDMA General] guitardoc64:
As long as you don't turn it on. I asked Sprint last night about ESN swapping to my Vogue and back. They told me that if I did, it would incur the charge. Sprint seems determined to get the $10, even if it costs them customers like me.
[Hero CDMA General] Asadullah:
Goodbye sprint and my hero. Sprint I left you about a month ago but I still owe you money but of course since you won't let me look at my bill anymore I don't know how your gonna get that. I'm thinking fifty cents will make us good. Don't worry though I won't be too far I'm jumping on virgin and getting the optimus which has better specs and will only cost me around $30 a month for service no contract and I'm using the "NOW" network.

To my hero your awesome thanks to many people on xda but I gotz to get money.
[Hero CDMA General] apzane:
I'm happy enough since I can flash new roms on it. It's a bit slow, but whatever. I'll upgrade as soon as I'm up for my next renewal in a year or so.
[Hero CDMA General] paczek:
Truthfully, ever since I rooted and flashed roms, I've had no complaints. As long as there are still updated roms and such for it, I wont mind keeping it around for another year or so
[Hero CDMA General] zanywood:
keeping

I was wanting to get rid of my hero bad. Now that I've rooted and am currently running gingerbread. Rom my phone has gotten to be fun now. It could still use a faster processor but with all the new stuff I've learned I'm really falling in love with my hero which is a superhero now.
[Hero CDMA General] l1ltw1st:
Keeping it...

I was going to upgrade to an Evo in March, the Hero seemed long in the tooth (altho only had it one year) and email for corp wasn't working with CM6.1.

The latest aospCMod fixed that issue (which was a major hurdle for me!), granted I now have 6 contacts for every contact I used to have (just a bit of duplication, lol).

CM7 on HeroCDMA has brought new life to it and I have the feeling if I went Evo in March, the summer would bring something new that would put me right where I was last summer, with a newish Hero and the Evo on the way :).
[Hero CDMA General] old.ghost:
I will keep my Hero until CDMA network upgrade to rev. B or hero no work.
[Hero CDMA General] DataHawg:
I almost bought an Epic when it was released but decided to root and try CM6 on my Hero instead. It runs great now and I'm still totally happy with it. I'm glad I didn't go for the Epic and plan on staying with HTC phones in the futute.

I love the option to tether with the WiFi hotspot occasionally for no extra charge and have no need for 4G since I use WiFi most of the time. Will probably try CM7 soon and I expect to keep my Hero for another 6th months or so. The changes to Sprints Premiere Upgrade plan may change my mind about that if anything new is released soon.

if anybody is considering getting an epic, don't! get the evo, you will be much happier. trust me as i had an epic for 4 days and i got rid of it and im back on my evo. the epic reminds me of the tp2 plagued with issues.

[Hero CDMA General] gigermunit:
Happy with my hero, got it in November, won't get a new phone til this breaks and my replacement is a forced evo.
[Hero CDMA General] josh451:
I'll probably keep the Hero a good while, least another year. So much good community support is awesome and my speed is nothing to complain about.

Odds are if anything gets me to upgrade, it would be better resolution and screen size. My carrier is small enough that the only other decent option is the Desire, nice but not enough for an upgrade.

I've been upgrade eligible for about 6 months, but the last couple aosp updates have kept me super happy.
[Hero CDMA General] TheTitanX:
I upgraded to the HTC Evo Shift 4G, but I'm still keeping my Hero as a backup just in case.
[Hero CDMA General] mtran2988:
Keeping it until I can upgrade, which is a whiles away though.
[Hero CDMA General] martyfracker:
Well, as soon as I can, I am getting the evo (probably this summer). I'm really sick of the slow processing speed of this phone and the fact that it can't play angry birds or slice it or pocket god or totemo -.-
[Hero CDMA General] bycoo222:
HANG ON TO IT lol i just switched to the fascinate and it seems like people here are a lot nicer and faster at developing and dont just write off your ideas
[Hero CDMA General] jckeyser:
The Shift interests me, but now since I have Gingerbread running daily on my Hero, I may keep my Hero for rooting and the Shift to mess with.
[Hero CDMA General] wbaker:
keeping hero til I can afford phone with dual core :)

I have finally gotten my hero just the way I like it. I plan to stick with HTC- I have read too many negative reports about other manufacturers, even if their phones look great. I do have 4g coverage here, but my hero is doing just fine for me. I will probably wait to see the feedback with this next generation of phones coming out, then wait awhile and get a good used one on ebay. :)
[Hero CDMA General] xenithxzavier:
Had mine for a year it's held up well considering all the ROMs I've added definitely my favorite phone yet anyone know of any more recent stable roms out there? I'm running Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread and the whole phone runs so smoothly =)

[Hero CDMA General] tric3ur:
I'm keeping my hero until I can find a nice powerful Phone, (not 4g) then I'll wait until upgrade for that phone (broke 14 year old ftw?) Then my Hero becomes my backup phone
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Good luck waiting for a new, higher-end 3G phone on Sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] jcha:
I really love this phone. I bought it originally back in October '09 and it's still doing fine. Running AOSP's 2.2 ROM and it flies at 768 mhz. Our development community is great, too. I'm waiting on a stable build of gingerbread to finish development.

I decided to pass up on the EVO, Epic and Shift 4g to wait for a dual core phone to come to Sprint.

Hopefully we get something this spring or summer.
[Hero CDMA General] MoMatt:
My Hero accidentally went sledding in the parking lot last night. After taking the battery out and letting it dry as much as I thought necessary, I have no WiFi or 3g and am unable to receive calls.

With the help of the amazing developers here this phone was awesome with FroYo. Everything it should have been to begin with.

I'm afraid, though, it might be time to say goodbye.

Not crazy about the Evo and haven't played with the Evo Shift. I really was hoping Sprint would come out with something else by now (dual core? Hello?), but I can't wait any longer.
[Hero CDMA General] vscag:
Wait till Monday (the David Blaine announcement)??????
[Hero CDMA General] impalerfamily:
Well seeing as my update isn't until April :-( I am. Hopefully sprint will have some nice phones by then
[Hero CDMA General] pizzachef:
My hero still runs pretty well. I chalk it up to installing a new ROM every couple months so its gotten a couple fresh starts. But I'll upgrade to whatever replaces the EVO when its renewal time at the end of the year. That's the way phone plans work :D
[Hero CDMA General] kurtosterhage:
Holding on to my Hero for about 10 more months until my contract is up, then I'll either get whatever high end Android phone they have (hopefully HTC and dual-core) or a Windows Phone 7 device if Netflix never gets around to making an Android app (and I love that UI). Thankfully XDA and the devs keep this phone running better than it ever would have with the stock OS.
[Hero CDMA General] kyhassen:
I'm ditching my hero next week. great phone but its way too slow for me, for the things i wanna do.
[Hero CDMA General] shaneispic:
I'll be hanging on to my hero til an evo replacement is released. This phone has been doing everything I want it do since rooting and using newer roms (with the exception of flash content that is)
[Hero CDMA General] Shakes27:
Hmmmm...

I'm keeping mine long after I upgrade to a newer phone, but as soon as my 2 year contract is up I'm getting the HD7, go windows phone 7!
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
That phone is already released, its called Optimus S, but you might as well get the 4G phone. If your looking to avoid the $10 fee every smart phone has that fee at activation since Jan 31 2011

[Hero CDMA General] rubyknight:
I'm keeping it till I get an upgrade in around a year. The Optimus S has nowhere near the amount of roms or support, and I just plain love my little hero. I'm not upgrading till I see a phone better than the Evo that's actually worth updating too.
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
Having all the roms in the world does nothing when the phone can't power them. Dev for the S is just getting started, they have sold over 1 million of them! I bought the S ought right out of frustration of the laggy hero. In less than a month this will go to the wife and I am buying a Evo, like you stated abut the S, even if a dual core comes out a day after I buy a Evo there will be no Dev for quite a while. By that time my yearly upgrade will be here again :)

Sorry if this has been addressed already, but I thought it relevant so I'm posting it here. I've always used just my GMail account with the native app and it's worked fine so I never really bothered with my Hotmail account since it's only POP mail and I feel that having it poll my Inbox every 15mins drains the battery heavily. But I read this morning that they've just started rolling out the new Windows Live Hotmail Wave 4 today, which includes Exchange ActiveSync support for Push email and Account syncing for Calendar and Contacts.

As it's being rolled out in clusters, my account hasn't been upgraded yet. But I decided to try to set up my account to Push anyways and it seems like it's working fine.

If you want to do the same in the Stock Email App, Add a New Account. Then input your Email Address and Password then hit the Manual Setup button and Select Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and use these settings:

Domain\Username: \username@hotmail.com

Password: password

Server: m.hotmail.com

Use Secure Connection (SSL): Yes

Accept all SSL Certificates: No

hit Next, then make sure the Email Check Frequency is set to Automatic (Push) and then just set your other sync options. (I've only synced mail since my contacts and calendar are synced with GMail).

I'm sure some things will change when my account actually gets the upgrade, but for now, it's basically all I need.

Full Disclosure: I'm on 2.2 and using the stock Email App for this. I don't know how this will impact 2.1 or if you're using K9 or Touchdown, etc. so feel free to post you results.
