So, I have had my new phone about 24 hours now and I've had a tiny bit of time to play with it. It's a good phone. Nice, sleek, smaller than I thought it would be and it fits in my pocket pretty well. When I ordered the phone I decided I would buy the accessories later. Sprint charges a lot for accessories and I wanted to get a good look at it before I bought anything that would turn out to be redundant, and I was right, if I had bought that car charger, that would have been an extra $33 that I wouldn't have had to spend. The Hero uses a usb cable to do everything including charging so if you have a usb plug in your car already as I do, you don't need a car phone charger. Just plug it in. Nice, I like that kind of versatility. It comes also with an SD Card. This card has software on it for syncing etc. I pulled that out not knowing that fact and put in my old SD Card. However, but I put the new card into an adapter and got the software just fine on the laptop. No problems there. The screen is pretty easy to figure out.

There are options, like "scenes" but I have yet to figure out how to change the clock from the retro clicky flap over clock to one of those cool analogs in some of the alternate "scenes". It should be there somewhere, I still need to play with this thing. Maybe I will make a cool steampunk themed scene... fun to be had. It never ceases to amaze me how we can make so many "innovations" to the smart phone and yet, take old "innovations" away that I liked. I can't help but compare this phone to my old tried and true little hand held computer I bought back around 2004. My HP iPaq 3715 Multimedia Companion. Ok, the iPaq isn't a smart phone. But dang it, I can and still can use Skype on it with wifi b, if I can find wifi b anywhere anymore and it's a full version of Skype that you can use as a full fledged phone not the broken ve [...]
