If you are looking to convert, the HTC Touch is fully functional except full bluetooth. A port will never run as fast as a native implementation unless it can be flashed to the internal memory, which so far has proved difficult for the ports. Look at xda devs for more details on this. @ Pete, the android port for the htc touch pro is very immature. If you are looking to convert, the HTC Touch is fully functional except full bluetooth.

I'm not a developer but I'm sure it's done that way to avoid people putting apps on a card that's swap-able and transfering it to another phone - to someone who didn't pay for it, @marc,

I've been hearing stuff about no Flash. Can I watch recorded videos? such as on facebook, youtube, the weather. Like will it pull up gasbuddy.com and then be able to view the map with all the gas prices in the area. 3. what is the size? Height? Width? Thickness? 4. Why no headphones with volume or mic? Can be purchased where? 5. How is the volume of music with and without headphone? 6. Why couldn't they keep the back cover the way it was! Snap on! the push up sucks. My Htc Touch is like that and when you slide it into pocket the cover 50% of the time comes off! While in pocket and has the potential for the battery to come out. 7. Are there certain things that have to be saved to the phone's memory? Why? and What? I love the phone but I have questions for someone to answer:

I have the Motorola and love it. In your future reviews can you let us know if this has the accelerometer, and does it have a full keyboard when turned? if all it has is the 1/2 when upright that is a deal breaker and I will get the touchpro2 and have it converted to Android. with a bluetooth device, get a wireless bluetooth headset.

As for the headset, I plan to use my motorola wireless blutooth headphones anyway. have looked around but have yet to see if this has a full keyboard when turned on it's side or if it is crackberry like with just the 1/2 when upright? Looking forward to seeing your review of this phone!

It is a deal breaker for many who want to use as a replacement for iphone or music device. I am very disappointed. why sprint took off headphones from the original shipment?

So is there any problems because of that such as widgets that need internet access messing up after a phone call?

I am still researching to know its processor capabilities, internal memory and Camera specs. Can't figure as of yet if it is physically any more powerful than the original G1. Hard time finding any details either in HTC or Sprints website or even in search and reviews... Email me if you have any hard evidence on the matter - totally appreciate it! garettpony@yahoo.com thanks Anyone have the technical specs of the new Hero yet… I am still researching to know its processor capabilities, internal memory and Camera specs.

Also glad the phone came in tact, unlike a certain blogger who had the misfortune of having his broken. Can't wait for the review! Great unboxing; very quick and to the point.
