1st Day At Work with HTC Hero

Today is the first day I brought my new, mint condition HTC Hero to work.

About 80% of my office e-mails are replied from my HTC Hero. Even this blogpost is posted from my new HTC Hero. That’s how addictive the new Hero is.

Even my colleagues who are using iPhone are amazed with my HTC Hero. They love the interface and a plus point is that you can have your up coming appointments displayed on the homescreen, whereas in iPhone you are greeted with row and column of icons.

Since this my 2nd day with HTC Hero, I have installed the following softwares:

1) wpToGo – A WordPress mobile blogging software

2) Mortgage Calculator – Calculation of loans

3) Mileage Log – Keep track of your vehicle fuel usage, actually I don’t own a car, but good to have it when I will be getting my car in December

4) Task Killer – To end any background programs that will slow down HTC Hero.

5) sipdroid – For making free/low cost SIP calls using Pfingo account.

Ending my post here as I will be alighting from the bus soon. Have a great evening 🙂

HTC Hero Unboxing

Woke up early on a Saturday morning at 8a.m. which is unusual for me, because Saturday is my off day from work and my usual wake up time is around 10a.m.

The reason for waking up so early was because Starhub is going to deliver HTC Hero to me. At around 9:30a.m. The delivery guy came knocking on my door with a Starhub paper bag, in it contains my HTC Hero! Yay!

After signing the delivery slip and paying the money for the HTC Hero, I took a few shots of the unboxing with my Canon 40D.

As I’m posting this blog entry, the HTC Hero is still charging as I did with all my phones is to charge for 10 to 12 hours before first use.

And tonight I will flash the phone to the latest firmware from HTC Europe website.

Gotta end here as I need to rush down to Funan IT Mall to collect some free gifts and head to Noel‘s home to fix his laptop.
