      Ali Rashid, 17 Oct 2009Tanx, would you please tell me how you solve below problems... more1- Bluetooth file transfer - look for solution on the market

      2- Limited address book fileds - I can put more than one number on a contact, simply save the contact onto the phone or google contact, rather than save it on the sim, it's same as every single phone.

      3- No GPS program ! - it support GSP, but do you mean sat nav software? google is build that now, and it will launch soon. but honestly, i dun rely on phone sat nav really if i am driving.

      4- No Arabic font support ! - what's arabic font?? it support numbers in arabic, or do you mean input method in your language? that depend on whoever speak your language to design an app to support. and I have my own input anyway.

      5- No Android market connection ! - again, that's faulty phone, go back to where you bought the phone and do exchange.

      if these doesn't answer your questions, look for a book called "Manuel book of HTC Hero for Dummy".

        Ali Rashid, 17 Oct 2009Tanx, would you please tell me how you solve below problems... more1- Bluetooth file transfer - Download a program for it, findable @ Android market
        2- Limited address book fileds - it definitely has the sufficient address book fields so I don't know what the problem is,
        3- No GPS program ! - Google maps! Or else CoPilot, so it definitely has a gps program
        4- No Arabic font support ! - your problem I guess :(. Maybe should've bought it in Africa
        5- No Android market connection ! - I definitely do. I use Android Market often and from the beginning I have Android Market connections.

        All these cons are not true, and this phone is great. I have it for a week now, and it's fantastic.

              Anonymous, 17 Oct 2009bear in mind, people!! as I said in my previous post, DO NO... moreyes you are right for Android. But here on Hero there is some stupid problems also like that I could not send and receive files via Bluetooth !! Also in GSMArena I read that I could add unlimited field to address book which is wrong data and site people must avoid such a wrong information, I personally do not use google services so I could not use google account for my address book. one more thing is when I synchronize Hero with Outlook many fields in this way lost and as i had a Nokia E51, I revised around 800 contact on Hero and still many problem.

                Ali Rashid, 16 Oct 2009Hi , it seems a bad machine ! I purchased month ago and it ... morebear in mind, people!! as I said in my previous post, DO NOT buy Android phone if your country doesn't supports Android market & google apps.

                I noticed that there are no support for my country (indonesia), India, and Arab I suppose..
                If you want to , you have to purchase your Hero or Magic on countries that supports them, like Singapore, or europian country.. and make sure that it is unlock version otherwise you might have some difficulties using it in your own country.

                I hope this might be useful.
                Thanks & welcome to Android wolrd!

                        With google contact, you can add different address field, even customize the titles

                                  Is this version of the Hero (as opposed to the Sprint version) compatible with the 3G network in the US?

                                  And the Sprint version changed the look, but is everything pretty much the same?

                                  I want to buy this phone (the Sprint phone looks bad compared), but stay with AT&T and these questions don't seem to be answered anywhere.

                                        the Apple store (with restriction)on iphone and Android market (free register) on Hero.
