you will have to root the phone and install the screenshot app from the market to take any screenshots. the app is not free either.

Re: Got my Hero at Best Buy today!

I'm not sure where the lag stuff is coming from either. I upgraded from the Diamond, and have used almost every ROM on this site, and the Hero easily beats any of them. I haven't noticed any lag at all...

It will be tempting when the Moment comes out in a few weeks though...

Re: Got my Hero at Best Buy today!

I noticed no lag so far after a few hours with it.
I am now downloading the free task manager for it, called "tasKiller free".
I have read in some reviews that there are programs that don't close easily even after pressing the "back" arrow button on bottom.
So thats why I am downloading the task manager
I am guessing that "darren.wlsn1" may have stumbled on a bug, like a web page or youtube site causing excessive memory usage or mayby a free-application mem leak.
I thought all the so called "10,000" apps in the app store were free?
