Finally got to test it out at the gym last night streaming pandora for about an hour and a half through my BT stereo headset.

Now with my mogul I always had an issue with reconnecting my BT, I always had to go into settings and find the BT and assign it as my stereo headset and for phone. It was always a pain. With my Hero it automatically picked it up as soon as I turned on the BT headset and started working, yes!

The next test was battery life. My mogul would be drained from a full charge to be left with like 15-20% after an almost 2hr workout streaming. Last night, I got about an 1hr 1/2 of streaming through pandora and a little use before I remembered to check the battery and I still had 70% battery left!

Agreed the battery life is incredible. I like how the phone also doesn't get hot like my TP would while streaming.

i fell in love again with the Hero when the GBA emulator gave me such a smooth, silky near-perfect (ok PERFECT!!!) framerate with sound enabled where it was horrible with the Vogue and Touch Pro

Gameboid. Its great. You have a virtual pad with a 8 directional d-pad, start and select. the rest you can map them on the hard buttons. (i have search button for A and back button for B)

Indeed, I WAS in the top 3 on sportypal during the summer till my don't foot got messed up. This was my first ride in almost three months. I sold my Marin muirwood hybrid in March and got me an entry level roadie, a 09 GT 4 series matte black cuz I got tired of getting passed like I was standing still!
