    Questions about rooted Hero... really considering doing it!

    Hi, I am seriously considering rooting my Hero, and would like to know some questions... thanks in advance! 1) How fast is it really? REALISTICALLY? Can it rival the iPhone 3GS? iPhone 3G at least? 2) Do apps stored on the SD open/load faster? (I have a 16Gb, class 6 card). 3) Can it work...

    Will Android 2.1 for Hero allow Apps to SD without root?

    Does anyone know if the upcoming Android 2.1 update to the Sprint Hero will allow us to save apps to the SD card without having to root the phone? And also, some things to think about: remember that the Hero only runs class 2 speeds, even if the card is class 6. Do you think this will change...

    Is proximity sensor hardware or software?

    Well, I know its software also, but is it hardware too? Because if not, then I was thinking, couldn't HTC just add it later on if they wanted it to?
