Thanks for the great article, I am very excited. I have had my telephone for simply over a month now and am in reality enjoying the entire loose apps from the android market, being able to have the internet and navigation at my fingertips all of the time. The one lower than thought feature is the picture/video textual content messages, as they don’t seem to be downloading properly.

Does anyone know which type of video information are supported? I keep in mind the Instinct only may dl 3gp using opera mini. I downloaded the twist ap, perhaps that is the issue? How can I watch videos from sites other than youtube? Which file types? Usually I am given the option of 3gp or mpeg4. Can’t get both to work. Thanks to your time! Damn I wish I was eligible for the improve to EVO!

I have the same exact problem Mike! You’re not alone on this one. Im going to research it some more, and hopefully something comes to, or someone else posts an answer here.

question about the capability of printing wirelessly from the Hero:

Has anyone been able to successfully connect and print with a wireless printer? I have tried two apps (PrinterShare and Cypria Free – both free versions), and so far no luck. PrinterShare says I’m “paired” with the printer, but not connected. When I hit print on the phone, it reports that the print was successful, but nothing on the pinter’s end.

With Cypria Free, it is supposed to search for and detect wireless printers. It does not find the printer and reports “no devices found”. By the way, other phones (non-Android based) have connected to the printer, so the issue is with the Hero.

Both of these apps have paid versions as well, so it could be that the upgrade is necessary. But then why have the free versions of the app?

It could also be that the Hero is just not compatible with the printer I used (HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m). This is listed as a possibility in the printer’s manual. Weird that is would not work on the Hero when it is compatible with a Nextel phone that is over 3 years old.

Frustrating.
