Battery life is tons better than the vogue, I had one before the hero. Very little lag, much faster than the vogue. In call volume isn't too loud, but the speaker is very loud. Not sure on rooting.

When I purchase an app, does the charge get added to my sprint bill?

Related question: If I hard reset, what happens? (do I have to purchase again or??)

I believe the app store keeps track of what you've downloaded or purchased.

is the actual hero much nicer and more stable than the vogue android builds out there? i could never get one to work right.

anyways can the cdma version be rooted yet? also i see there is really no custom roms for the hero, i hope in a short time that will change.

running android on the vogue is what sealed the deal of me getting a hero and its 100000% better on the Hero. No root yet but its coming....
