Waiting for my HTC Hero


For over 3weeks now I have been looking forward to the arrival of my new phone the HTC Hero. I thought I really needed this phone and anyway should spoil myself after the many hours I spend behind my desk in at work. This ANDROID powered phone from HTC and Google, I considered to be the king of all mobile operating systems, it’s the major reason I wanted this piece.

It’s a pretty decent smart phone. I have had sleepless nights anticipating its arrival since a friend who traveled abroad promised to hook me up with one.

The day arrived last Saturday and this fella returned, however since I was to refund this fellas money on his return he opted to get me the HTC S740 instead of the HTC Hero (I know it must be  cheaper than the Hero) as he was running short of money and could not trust a Ugandan brother to pay back!



This whole week I have been reviewing the HTC S740 and I am slowly failing in love with it, I particularly love its design and size. However the major drawback on this smart phone is that it comes with Windows mobile OS (Windows 6.1) however it has pretty impressive hardware compared to the other smart phones in its league.
With a Qualicomm processor 7225 running at 528MHZ and its got total memory 256mb, the other standard features on smart phones are also available.

Since that Saturday afternoon I got this piece, I have explored this phone, installed Windows Mobile Device center which I found very lacking and also found out the phones weak and strong point. Despite having the windows mobile operating system, it’s a good piece for texting and browsing the internet due to its QWERTY keyboard. I have installed a number of windows mobile Apps (applications) and only wish I could be able to install ANDROID on this piece.

Cheers,
