Is there a difference between the Orange Hero and the black one? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been Googling around and some people describe the Hero that Orange are selling as black but it looks brown against some of the 'blacker' Heros on an image search.

In the UK the Orange branded Hero is graphite not black.
HTC offer AFAIK :
White - Unlocked, unbranded
Brown
Graphite - Orange UK only
Black
Pink
TBH, I've seen the black and brown ones in Carphone Warehouse, they don't look very good IMHO.

IS there a difference is specs betweens the T-mobile Hero and the Orange Hero, do one have better rom or something or a different chipset ?
Cheers James

Internal specs are the same.
The firmware is different with T-Mobile doing more customisation I believe. The core software though is the same.
Depends if you like the HTC look throughout or the T-Mobile one.

T-Mobile puts a big logo on the top of the touch screen which I hate. At least orange has the decency to put a small, inobtrusive logo on the rear case.

LOL, i was thinking that i thought atleast if the logo annoys me i can just change the back cover

The specs of both are the same. I don't know why people think the T-Mobile hero has had loads of customization done to it.
It's exactly the same as the standard HTC one and the Orange one. Only difference being that T-Mobile has a T-Mobile boot screen and some web n walk app that I've never used.

Carrier Branded ROMs?

Do the orange or t-mobile handsets come with branded ROMs? I want to get a black unlocked t-mobile Hero but I don't want some daft t-mobile ROM. I saw my friend's T-Mobile Diamond and nearly puked at the colorscheme.
don't worry, the T-mobile one has only got a link to the t-zones page in the browser and a t-mobiel logo on the front.
that ****ty pink colour is nowehere to be seen from what i've heard.
Saw one that a colleauge had bought and convinced me to get mine cos it wasn't really changed any.
Nope, just the start up logo on the Orange is included within the Hero, Android and HTC logos and a few links to Orange World etc that are useful.
Not keen on the black T-Mobile... looks cheap upto the Graphite one on Orange...
Thanks guys. Just bid on an apparently unlocked Orange Graphite Hero. Can't wait

Will the White make it over to at&t?

I saw the white version from canada Bell, and I was wondering. I used the phone and I love it over my white 3gs. I'm just into white.
most likely not but thats just my gut feeling and not based on any fact - lol

Any external differences between S 2 models?

Probably dumb question (sorry!): Is there any exterior difference between the various 'flavors' of S2?
I'm mostly interested in differences that would affect a dock/car dock or a case as I'm about to order some stuff from the UK (mobilefun.co.uk). Now that's for the i9100, and I've got the T-Mobile variant
I'd been assuming that all S2s were the same externally (just different radios, antennas, etc.) - but now I see separate car docks for the At&T model and the T-Mobile model. I'm hoping that that's just some sort of marketing deal Samsung has with those carriers, but I thought I'd better check before making a trans-Atlantic oops.
Thanks!
I ran into the same thing with carrier specific cases. I believe the AT&T version has the speaker on the right instead of the left. Not sure about the T-mobile. Maybe check pictures/360 view on their website. They should have pics of their model not generic Samsung pics.
Good luck.
You should look up the specs of the individual phones. The T-Mobile version is bigger than the ATT and i9100 versions. From what I can tell the i9100 and the ATT versions are the same dimensionally. I'm using that ATT home and car docks with my i9100.
Yes there are some differences, especially between international models and USA versions,
for example, i've noticed a certain american version (forgot which one) has a bigger screen,
also another american version (AT&T) the buttons at the bottom of the phone are different than the international version.
Other than the internal differences ofcourse.
cheers
I found the multiple pages inside samsung's us website for the versions going to the different carriers:
t-mobile version 5.11" x 2.71" x .37" weight 4.77 display 4.52"
at&t version 5.15" x 2.75" x .37" weight 4.66 display 4.50"
sprint version 5.11" x 2.74" x .38" weight 4.60 display 4.52"
The speakers are, indeed, in different places, and the t-mobile version back is quite different, covers the entire back, including the speaker, which is on the left, as you look directly at the back.
I also ended up with a 'near field' equipped battery, so I guess there's gear to drive that as well.
Glad I asked, as I'd have ordered the wrong case from the UK. Pity as I really wanted that flip-cover screen protector, as I hate looking through screen protectors, but not nearly as much of a pity as having the wrong case in hand and trying to figure if it was worth shipping it back to the UK for a refund.
Thanks everyone!
Pleases note, that this is the wrong forum for the T-mobile SGS2, this is the right forum section.
Just a fyi before you try to flash anything and brick your phone.
Thanks! I hadn't gotten that far (still reading up - and clearly was reading up on the wrong stuff).

Metal grey HTC Radar on T-Mobile?

Do they even exist?
If not, would it be possible to exchange the glass and body from a regular European version of the Radar to the T-Mobile one?
Sorry for being little bit OT, but I have grey radar from European (Czech) T-mobile.
Why don't you like the white one

[Q] Freq Bands on the White Amaze

Hello I recently bought a white Amaze on ebay after seeing that this phone comes with the 850/1900mhz bands that needs to work fine on Argentina (we use the same as AT&T). But I noticed on some websites that they don't mention these bands on the white version of the Amaze, now I'm worried because I already payed and I'm waiting for my phone to arrive. Are the bands still there? Does any of you have a white Amaze working on AT&T? Or at least the box near you so you could tell me what it says. I can't wait to be part of the amaze community. Thank you
