A month or so ago I had my HTC S710 Windows Mobile out while canoeing and it rained heavy so it hasn't been the same since then. Especially the screen just going black is quite irritating and not to say very unproductive. Curious on this new Android-platform and having a desire to develop software for it made me look on Android-phones, yesterday I went out and bought a HTC Hero.
My first experiences wasn't all that well. I tried it out of the box and it seemed okay. Then I remembered that my old HTC needed a ROM-upgrade very early on and it totally cleaned everything so I decided to upgrade to the latest ROM from start. Unfortunately it made the HTC Sync software unable to connect to my phone. After uninstalling/installing the software and upgrading to XP and numerous other stuff it finally got sync with Outlook up and running again. I hope it stays that way.
Next problem... I can't find the files on the phone! And the device that Windows claim is the new one states that "Please insert disk into drive". After heavy googling I finally figured out that you must slide the USB-icon on the phone downwards and Mount the drive! I find it hard to believe that it works that way but I guess I have to face the reality and now I know...
And that is all for the moment. I hope I am able to write more about my experiences with HTC Hero and Android later on in this blog.
