if i was to buy Hero in The Netherlands, for example, and it was in Dutch....how easy/difficult/impossible would it be to switch to English? or is buying English the only option for me?
It should be fairly easy to change the language on the Hero. During the first boot it will ask you to select your language. I can't assure you that the Dutch version of the phone can be setup in English. In this link you can see a video where a Dutch version of the phone allows you to select amongst Italian, Dutch and Spanish:

I can tell you also that I tried with the dutch version of the Magic and was really simple to change from Dutch to English... So, I would assume it shouldn't be a problem. I'll go shoping for a Hero in The Netherlands this evening, when I get mine I'll come back with a definite answer.
shopping for it where and at what price?
I was going to go for this offer:

I come back dissapointed. They don't have it yet. Apparently HTC didn't supplied to them on time and they don't know when it will be available in the Netherlands. I'll get a call from the shop when they know more.

After having been able to get in touch with QTek France, they pointed me towards HTM.
HTM told me that to get this update (if it's the last one), THEY had to do it, that they will NOT provide the update on an internet site and that it will cost us poor froggies 59€ !!!!
Can someone confirm this ?
Hello,
Why don't you use the last Swiss Rom Orange? I upgrade 3 days ago and it's perfect for Orange France users, because it's french and Orange
And last but not least, That's totally free!!!!
Regards,
Well, i must change my signature by the way now....
Well I could, thou it's not an SPV M3100 that I have, but the plain french version of the HTC TyTN.
So if any warranty issues appear, I won't be eligible

Dont bother my friend! These products are sold by the official O2 network in countries that they have chosen Greece and Cyprus are not included.
Try other sites and you will get some relative info. www.myphone.gr is one of them.
In there you will find localization ways and which Keyboard products na support Greek with the ability to send 160 chars SMS.
It will be more difficult to get a solustion for full localization of the ROM.
Good Luck!!
Hi,
Anyone got one yet in The Netherlands? Here it´s been delayed and delayed and delayed... Finally yesterday was supposed to be available. I've seen they have stock at pdashop.nl but calling to belcompany (they have a better offer) yesterday they said it will take them one more week! Any lucky person in the Netherlands got one?
In case so, I would like to know what languages does it come with by default? I've seen a video on pocketinfo.nl and they show italian, spanish, and dutch. Can anybody confirm?
Thanks!

First off, no I don't have one. Still waiting for it (hi.nl).
I also expected more to come this week with the articles on Tweakers.net and the official tweets from 'HTC_NL' saying it is now available in The Netherlands... but still nothing.
In the comments from the Tweakers.net article there were quite some people reporting that they received their Hero, so there are a couple out there. Don't forget, HTC said it is now available, and preorders (and price winners) should expect them this week. Then it's only normal that the phones arrive at the retailers _this week_, which means we will get it next week (hopefully).
About the language: I've seen multiple UK review sites that had a Hero in the Dutch language . So yes I'm pretty sure the interface and sms-texting can be set to Dutch. I hope there is just one version of the device and you can set the language in the settings. I hate dutch on my phones / computers.
Just got a call from belcompany informing me that they have it in the shop waiting for me to pick it up. This evening I will (hopefully) have it and tomorrow let you know more about the dutch version.
drat, Hi... hurry up. Me wants it
I bought a Hero yesterday at pdashop.nl. When I bought it in the shop, they had 30 or so in storage (white & brown) . (came in Tuesday afternoon). So...anyone who pre-ordered it will get one soon, I guess...
hi.nl pushed their date back _AGAIN_ with one day.
Expected delivery is now 31st
I have one.
Languages i can select are:
English (Dutch)
English (Lux)
Dutch (dutch)
Dutch (lux)
French (dutch)
French (lux)
German (dutch)
German (lux)
I also have got one,
Last tuesday to be exactly,
It's a brilliant phone lots of apps quite a good sound
the battery life is about a day and a half
greetz
And another happy [NL]Hero user
The only problem with this phone is probably the FUP of my data plan... (Vodafone internet Blox)
Dont know if this is the right spot for this, but my girlfriend has a problem. She ordered the phone via a small (cheap) webshop. Apparently they buy there phone somewhere abroad. I think it is from Russia or another cyrillic country. We are from the netherlands. The phone does have dutch settings for the phone, but not for swype(swype only has english UK/US and two cyrillic languages). Result is that she can not use swype at all. Is there a way to change the firmware to dutch firmware or to change the swype. It's a Samsung Galaxy Mini.
Thanks a lot.
Because of a good price (at least better than in my country) i'm considering to buy this phone from amazon.de but in description it is labeled "german version" which brings up to me a concern about languages available on it out of the box. Does it have just german? Or multiple languages? This may seem to be odd question but i'm not much into phones and i'm not sure if there can be limited list of available languages or should be all languages available. I will be thankful for answer.
My husband bought the Honor 10 from Germany (Amazon) and on first start up it brings up a long list of languages to choose from. It's just the standard Android 8.1 with Emui 8.1 on top. I'm sure you can choose any common language.
Wonderful, thanks for answer, a lot!
I asked the same question directly to amazon.de and they replied to me product is described as german version so mildly put, i wasn't satisfied with their answer. Sometimes it is better to ask someone who actually owns a product rather than asking a question to selling company.
I do think there is an European Version of the Software (C432) but still you can select any available language. If you buy an Asian variant with a different CUST number (firmware), you will still able to change the language to English, German etc... only the pre-installed software may vary from region to region (Chinese version does not come pre bundled with Google apps for example).
To be specific i'm interested if there is polish language (may be listed as "Polski") available, in the worst case english will be fine enough.
Pretty sure that is no problem.
I also have the German model and I can confirm that this is just a European version. All usual European languages are available, including Polish (I checked that explicitly).

Thank you a lot, now i can safely purchase this phone without worries.
On Monday, it's Prime Day in Germany. No idea if the Phone will be cheaper but maybe you are lucky.
