HTC Hero S - User Reviews

  • Ok the phone has a 5 megapixel camera which is good in 2011 that is and a poor 1.3 secondary camera and only 32 GB wow plus the battery is not as big as most phones. 4.2 Stars

  • i cant find the market on this phone

  • how do i root this phone and update to ics.

  • U shld mke ur settings....ths is the fastest intrnet phone I eva.had....wifi hotshot ...3g is superb

  • The box on this phone clearly states UMTS/WCDMA on frequencies 900 / 2100. I'm in dominican Republic where Orande has the 900, but i've tried with a lot of sim cards and plans, AND i've never been able to detect 3G network with this phone. I even put it on WCDMA ONLY and didnt get a single bit of coverage, only an X. They should be be clear on what 3G band it can work and DONT, HTC is not being honest, at least with this one.

  • How to update 2 ics cus it wont automaticaly update

  • Can we upgrade it to ics

  • yes it is

  • can you get this phone in the uk? its pretty good size and spec for its price. not a fan of the new huge phones.

  • does this phone get ics or not ( in other words is it upgradable to an up to date android version or not ) plz reply

  • This is a Very very fast & very good phone coz ,Hero S has a QUADCORE MSM8655 Chipset.

  • Price should corrected as Euro 400.

  • What a great HTC android phone.I brought $490 from U.S.Brillient.

  • Great device.very very fast & suprb than Galaxy S2.this is from my own experience.

  • chance less performance hands off to HTC

  • Radio no. yuh!

  • This phone is useless with gsm network!

  • Hero S, by a long way.. believe me.

  • may i use skype with video chat on it

  • can this thing work in gsm? 0utside us? unlocked and stuff?

  • Which is better salsa or hero s?

  • Well a relativly small phone,just 115mm height with a 4 inch screen.Thats rare among todays huuuge phones.Usualy a 120mm + height phone has a 4inch screen.

  • This really seems to be a gud buy , good value for your money ...

  • Can any one tell me that why the price group is too low comparing to it's huge configuration???????? Or it's a mistake???????? i'm confused!!!! plz any one tell me!!!!!!!!

  • i widely use cell phones for listening musics,making calls,texting,surfing in net.... how's the battery life? & overall should i buy this phone?? Thanks in Advance ^_^

  • What about it is impossible? That sounds about right--the screen is qHD resolution, which is 960x540.

  • yes you can

  • something wrong with dimensions and screen size. it's just impossible, correct it!

  • hi every body can i install OS Android OS, v2.3.4 (Gingerbread) support arabic lunguge for thes phone?

  • so far i love htc hero. i just got mine and ilove it. specially the sounds and is bass!!!

  • I've HTC Hero (old version) & it is like 'HERO'i like specs of hero s it is good but loks nott okkeyy..

  • Awww! Where is the Htc Hero's famous "Chin"? I really liked the chin! :D

  • i own a Hero and all i can say is that this fone is diffinitely not a hero

  • i think this phone is not like hero.. i love the hero.. i have never owned it but my friend have one, and its a quick phone if you think about it when it came out.. and if it should be a hero s it should be a 3,2" screen

  • i think it should be a 3,2" screen

  • This is not a new Hero, this is another HD2/DHD/HD7-like HTC. The closest to new Hero is HTC Legend.

  • 4 gB internal is pretty decent you know takes a mem crd too

  • I love the original Hero! It's a piece of art! Can Hero S stand on its sides on its own? Will there be a white version? There are lots of disappointments here. The CPU/GPU is mediocre. 4GB is weak too. Overall, this phone isn't worthy of Hero name. Please bring Hero HD!!!

  • wow no comments.....ths smartphone here from quite long time ....I think its for USA only ...the CDMA version

  • Wow !! all that long this phone is released and no comments..WOW
