My first full day with my wifes Hero

[hotspace]

Ok....So i bought my wife the Moment just so I could play with her Hero. Honestly!!
I've been flashing my TP2 way too often and decided to give this Android thing a test run. Here's what I did.

I synced my TP2 with Mac Book PRO (MBP) just to get my contacts.

I synced my Mac Book Pro's address book with Google. If anyone needs more infor on this let me know...I can tell them how I did it.

Next I hard reset the Hero.

Then went online to Sprint and activated the Hero in place of my TP2.

The rest was pretty much seamless.

I downloaded Pandora and Slacker Radio and streamed music ALL day!! Amazing.

What other cool things are people doing with theirs?

For streaming music, I use droidlive. It's has a bunch internet radio stations. Much more variety than slacker and pandora

Make sure that you flash your Hero to Gumbo's 1.5c Full or Bare Roms..... This will make your Hero run like it's on Crack!!!

Yea, if you really want to get the "full fealing" of using the Hero, make sure to root it, and flash a custom rom. Mine ran slow as crap till I did, but others have reported different. i flashed Fresh 1.1 the day it hit the forums. Now it runs like a scalded dog.

I've seen the threads on rooting. However, I wanted to get a feel for everything untouched before I stArt tweaking it. What are ya'll's opinion on the Ustream BETA app? I was trying to watch a little of a radio show this morning and it seemed very laggy. Is there an alternative?

Pandroa works well for me.

Also been using Handcent SMS instead of the stock messaging app.

I'll second the handcent, that thing is a vast improvement over stock. I also use mine to shop...email, text...and believe it or not, answer calls!
