The OP's picture is actually just bad lightingmaking look black. The post above mine is actually the case for a HTC P4351, A.K.A the Atlas, which is what the Wing is. The Wing is just Tmobile's version. (Not sure why they thought making it blue would be a good idea.)
I actually prefer the blue. Anyone know where I can get a new shell? After a year, mine's a bit beat up.

i ordered a housing from these guys. they're shipping from hong kong and it takes FOREVER! but if you hated that ugly blue housing like i did you'll be happy.
took me a while to replace everything... then i realized... i could've just replaced the face and battery cover and it would've been simpler and saved me hours.
kristopherson, exactly how long did it take for the housing to come? I'm leaning very heavily to get the black housing from these guys.
I'm currently pondering buying a HTC Hero.
My question is though:
Would you still buy it right now or would you wait for the next android phone HTC is releasing (in the coming 2-3 months).
I'm currently torn between buying an Hero or waiting, I've read a bit about the HTC Dragon/Zoom 2 because it has a higher resolution, but the current specs state it has a 4.2 inch screen.
Which is way too large for me.
So, any current HTC Hero owners care to state their personal opinion on the matter?
Thanks
Would still buy it, love the design, and i have had it for over a month and been using it all the time .. It's the best mobile i ever bought!
Since a lot of android phones are coming out I would wait.
But if you are looking for a small and powerful device instead of a big smartphone then it's the right choice, in my opinion.
If you wait, you will always be waiting. The market moves so fast that there is almost a new device coming in 2-4 months that may or may not be better than what is out.
You can always Ebay it and buy another one if you want a newer phone.

Exactly.
I will be looking at the X3 when it is out, I was so keen on it I thought about waiting.
The hero is a great phone, bugs have been fixed and the Rom cookers are just getting going with it. Get the hero, enjoy it for a few months, suff it on ebay if you want a change and get something new in the spring- thats what I'm doing.
have it since it came out and the only thing i would change is the color, black or brown instead of white. nothing on the market beats it so yes, if i was buying now, i would buy Hero. HD2 brings great promises for future phones, but it's WinMo, so it's just a promise of Android to come with that hardware.

Why are you dissapointed with the white phone? Doesent it have some "extra" function that the brown and black doesent have? In my opinion it looks good..
would buy it again. the hardware is very decent, performancewise, featurewise & haptic-wise (a.k.a. it performs well, has all the nice sensors you could need and the look&feel is great also). the software has already been modded extensivly, and since the kernel sources are out since last week the real good stuff is still to come... if you wait then you will have to wait until the new device is released, then till it is rooted, then till someone cooks a decent rom, then for the kernel sources, then for someone to actually use the kernelsources... if you're not into doing this as the first person in the world then get an "old" (as in 'a few months on the market') device.
and just get the fact, you will never be up-to-date in the it business...
if you must go android, go hero.
if i had my time again, i'd go iphone...it's too 'early days' for android....
Buy the phone, it's really nice and it's always developing cos of the apps. I am happy with my phoen had it 3 weeks now and it will last well.
Hero 2 will be a while yet and that will be worth getting if HTC improve on this one and not stay still.
Get it, you won't be regretting it.
I would definitely buy it again.

I totally agree.
I came from winmo on a HD and now I won't touch winmo, although if M$ ever get their arse into gear and bring out winmo7 I will take look but it would have to have some killer features to lure me away from android.
Put simply Android is awesome, took me a few days to get out of my corrupt winmo mentality and get used to Android. The Hero is real nice , personally I could do with a bigger screen but if you don't need a bigger screen get that Hero bought now!

i'm not disappointed, i just think black and brown look a lot better. When i bought it i didn't have a choice, now there is. Also, i like the soft rubbery feel of the black one, teflon is nice but nothing really special. The soft black one is great.

Hi,
I agree with other posters, that if you wait, you'll always be waiting. The HTC Dragon looks like it may be interesting but by the time it's in your hand there'll be a 1.5Mhz phone out.
After years with UIQ and WinMo, the Hero is the best phone I've had. Sure the screen is smaller than on the HD but it's a proper, capacitive touch screen. Also no stylus.
Also the Hero feels more "connected". Even with the power and functionality of the HD, I never felt truly mobile with it. With the Hero I feel much more able to update my blog, my facebook, twitter etc. This may be due to the lack of a stylus but it also seems far quicker connected to t'internet.
Just my half shilling.

I buy my Hero, 2 weeks after it was released. I'm still new with android, ut i like'it i love'it. Usualy i get verry fast boored by a phone, i must say that i have'it for 3 months allready and it will last long for sure. In the place where i work i got wi fi, and i make a chalenge with my husband( He has a blackstone) wich one is faster. . I won!( Then our colegs start to cal us the htc family ) Besides allways u got something on the market for your phone, and think about, is an open source for development . So go for it!Just do it!
Go on buy it!!!
I would buy it again and again...
I was going to wait to see what is going to be coming out soon... but then I thought... why? If something new comes out - it's only a matter of time (usually 2-3 months) before something newer will be released.
You can't get better than the Hero right now. I've had HTC phones for a few years now and they have all been good.
Android is awesome!

I had a very good working HTC Kaiser with WM6.1. I used the ported Android which ran slow. But the experience I had with the ported Android, made me decide to buy the Hero.
You are Dutch, as I am, so why don't you have a look at Marktplaats? I bought mine there, too. Just ask them for their receipt they received when they bought it.
When you want more info, send me a private message.
as for a question: would I buy it again... YES.
as for a question: is it too early for android... YES
To be honest, I love it. WM is crap and we all know it. And for some people who don't want an I-phone, this is an alternative.
I have some weird principles... I haven't bought Nokia since 1994 - i know everybody had one, but I loved my Ericsson, i have never bought a BMW - I know it handles great and sometimes when I want to have some fun I borrow one from my friends, but generally i don't like it, I drive Audi, I will never buy a shirt that says D&G in your chest because it's just plain stupid, I prefer my clothes to be quality products but not to show off to everybody... and then again I have an I-pod because there is just no alternative...
And when it comes to phones I like to try something else than I-phone and Hero is the one to try... Gadget of the Year by "T3", Gadget of the Year by "Stuff"... I think we have a good phone in our hands.
And the fact that it is too early for Android... yes it is, but is it not wonderful to be a part of an evolution??? I think it is just amazing.
I was in one shop and the back of the phone and top front edge looked dark grey but then I went into another shop and it looked definitely black. Is there only one colour (Carbon Grey) or does it come in black also? I prefer the black and am in UK.
Thanks!

Carbon Grey (AT&T).. That I'm aware of they should all be the same color regardless if branded or otherwise... But I could be wrong
I googled it, and somehow have the feeling that it's carbon-gray phone only. The phone is black, but the sleeve is carbon-gray.
Mine is carbon-gray too. You don't realise it until you look at the edges around the screen though.
I read somewhere in early Titan days, someone in US went for an accessory replacement and the back sleeve he got was black instead of carbon-gray from HTC. Any pics on the net showing the difference? I feel colour blind!
I swear the unit on display in Carbone Warehouse in Selfridges London, is all black - front and back. I know this because I never liked the grey colour so the black colour there immediately hit me.
If anyone knows of any links to a black cover please let me know.
Cheers!
I'm visiting the store! I need to understand this difference

Get yours out (the phone that is) and compare the two side by side and let me know. It is the working Titan anchored to the wall. In basement, near TVs.
OK I just received my Titan from Expansys this morning. So far I am loving the phone!
FYI, the model is a Euro model with spanish packaging and leaflets. However, the back case does indeed appear to be black rather than the lighter carbon grey version. I AM SO HAPPY about this
Now to leave it to charge for several hours.
I believe the carbon grey backing is specifically at&t's version of the Titan( they released it late in the u.s. and wanted it to be slightly different. I have that specific Titan but have purchased a spare Euro(black) cover on eBay because you are definitely right, it looks much better!
Also if you take a look at the coming the titan thread, I posted some pics! Hope it helps!!!

Mine is definitely black. What I can't figure out if it is metal or plastic. It feels like plastic which should be a good thing for reception.

Hello all. Got my Amaze on launch day. Been a great phone but tired of the limitations all the devs face. No AOKP. No CM. Just so many things standing in their way too. I want to move on to another device that has greater support in the dev community. I would include two cases. One is a D30 and the other a clear with white argyle (has yellowed some) and of course the charger. The condition is 10\10 zero wrong with it. White is whitey white. Screen has no scratches/blemishes. NEVER been dropped (knock on wood)What should my asking price be??? Also is anyone interested? Trades would be considered but no promises.
Also I am currently running ICS roms with 4EXT recovery and S-off.
toss a picture up man
I'm away from all other devices with a Camera at the moment
Standing By
If only had I seen this early, just bought a used one, a few scratches on the cover, but I got a new cover to replace it with, just too lazy to s-off it since I already s-offed my old one, lol.
I'd check on Craigslist to get a feel for the current asking price.
It's different prices for different markets. Selling online "can" be a hassle.
I honestly prefer cash in hand unless it's friends.
The cases are a + which means you could ask for a bit more, but someone could just opt to not buy the cases...in which case you'd have to options.
Lower the price and exclude the cases or decline the offer altogether.
I suggest figuring out the lowest you'd take for the phone first. Then figure out what you'd ACTUALLY like to get for it, then ask a bit above it because of the cases.
That way when you lower the price to exclude the cases it's right where you want it to be at.
You get what you want, and they feel like they got a good deal.
Just some suggestions. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Seriously, my fiance's Sensation is so much frikkin better with all the dev support. She benches higher, battery is smaller and lasts longer than mine. The Amaze just hit at a weird time. It has great hardware but not available in many markets and has some goofy drivers that screw the kernal development up.

Would you sell your d30 case separately? Also contact sandvoid from general chat he definitely wants this
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Honestly they go for about 20$ online, I have it with the black amaze, and you can't really see much of the trim of the phone. If I were you I would only pay about 10 dollars.
First things first u'll notice this is my 1st post. I've been a constant Xda lurker since i got my xoom way back in March of last year. Finally decided to actually register (something i shouldve done a year ago).
Anyway onto my issue. I live in South Africa so if i were to upgrade to the S3, it would be the international variant. I currently own an iPhone 3gs, so almost any recent phone is an upgrade. I'm lucky enough to be able to choose the S3
The S3 in my eyes is without a doubt the best phone on the market. Theres just a few things i'm unsure of. Please answer whichever of the questions u feel u can Keep in mind that once i upgrade, i'll have to keep the S3 for 24 months (minimum).
1) Firstly, its the 1gb of RAM. i understand this is more than enough at this current moment but i'm worried that it will be insufficient within the next year. Would the S3 still be able to provide top tier performance in 24months?
2) The build quality seems to be an issue. I couldnt care less for the aesthetics of the actual device (i actually think it looks quite nice), but i've seen alot of posts about small drops resulting in completely cracked screens and other severe damage. Even with a cover, is the S3's build quality that bad?
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION:
The first batch that the South african stores recieved were all white of course. I was wondering whether it would be worth me waiting 2 more weeks for the blue version to arrive. Not a matter of the appearence but rather the actual hardware. Theres countless threads about the 'pink tint' and 'ink sploges' on the screen. I was wondering if the blue variant may be less prone to this issue or is it a complete gamble regardless of whether i choose the white or blue
I understand i could find some of these answers by looking through the forum (and i have) but i would like some personal opinions directly relating to the questions i asked. Thanks for all your replies.
Ink splotches is a byproduct of the screen tech. EVERY model will have them
I do not drop my phones so I cannot comment on that, but I am willing to bet it would only crack the screen if it fell on a corner or side. I.E. if you are going to drop your phone, drop it face down or face up
1GB of RAM should be fine in two years considering apps will be able to be multi-threaded and be able to use the four cores more efficiently, coupled with the fact that Android manages RAM pretty well.
Whatever phone you choose, good luck and I hope you enjoy it
Hi there!
Regarding question 2:
I haven't dropped my SGS3 yet (and I don't plan to).
Call me silly but I have bought both a screen protector and a rear cover as well.
The phone is a quite a big investment so why not protect it the best you can? There are very rugged covers such as Otterbox and so on.
If you are really unlucky when (if) you drop your phone it can break, sure. Try to protect it with some cheap insurance (screen and rear cover) and you have done what you can.
It's a fantastic phone so don't hesitate to buy one just because you are worried about build quality. It's more or less up to you how careful you are with your shining new toy!
Good luck!

Anybody else have any advice on the blue vs white question?
The white was released first in the UK and while I was desparate for the phone I held off for the blue.
I just felt that the white may show it's age sooner and need better keeping clean but that's just me. As for the actual hardware, I guess it's still a gamble whatever but I am completely happy with mine and no issues personally.
If you REALLY wanted to be absolutely sure you'd have to wait months really (and then your first point comes into play even more)

I seriously thought about buying the white one so that I didn't have to wait for the blue one. BUT, the white one is quite "iPhony" if you know what I mean! ;-)
I waited for two extra weeks for the pebble blue to come into the stores here in Sweden, and I don't regret waiting those extra weeks! In my opinion the blue one looks a littlebit more "sophisticated"!
But as always, it's just a matter of taste!

Hi mits101
I'm south African too.....
Just joined the site a few days ago as I'm contemplating going over to Android.
Very tempted.....
I am really intrigued as to how the S3 will stack up to my iPhone 4
Screen wise, sound wise and so forth
I do know that your iPhone 3gs screen will explode when it comes face to face with the Sammy, as far as ram goes I think it should be fine.
I would/will go for the blue one too though it's now Metallic Blue, I don't like the white look
You can upgrade at 20 or 22 months depending on your network (MTN 20 months)
unless it's changed (not sure Vodacom or Cell C)
@ sy573mx
Wow its great to see a fellow south African on these forums .
I've phoned most retailers and they have no idea when they'll be getting the blue version
Looks like I'm most probably going to get the white one. Well either way its gonna have a cover. I just really hope it doesnt have the pink tint.
Anybody know if there's a first and second batch of S3`s. Maybe the second batch will be less prone to the few display problems
galaxy s3 is the way to go, one of the best out and probably still would be for the next year.
ive seen a few threads on dropping their phone and the screen cracked and they cost about $300 to repair...
keep it safe and get a nice case that covers the screen.
android ftw!
