This ROM is so fast! Great preview of what is to come. Couple of things I noticed are not working/not working correctly on my phone: - Exchange account does not update as mail arrives. I either have to do it manually or messages show up about 20 minutes after they are supposed to arrive...

Every button on the phone is peeling now. Looking at other phones, even HTC ones, I don't understand why they went with physical buttons. Touch sensitive buttons are so much nicer and cleaner.

I sent a message through Twitter to HTC asking if the peeling would be covered under warranty, this was their answer: "htc - I'm not sure that is something that is supported, but I would call Sprint customer service and ask ASAP"

I don't use any of those cleaners you mentioned. Just regular soap, hand soap and dish washer liquid. I have yet to take it in to a Sprint store but I'm guessing they won't do anything about it. Funny you mentioned about just peeling the entire thing. That is pretty much the conclusion I...

Now the "Home" button is peeling too. I better make sure to memorize the locations of these buttons, they are peeling fast! I have had cell phones since like 2000 and this if the fastest I've seen buttons peeling. Sucks.

Here are the pictures of the Hero's "Back" button peeling:

It's the gray "film" where the Menu keys are. Looks more like foil and it's peeling.

The bottom part of my HTC Hero (the back "key") is peeling! Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm sure within a month or so that entire surface will be gone if I don't do something.

Can a firmware update be capable of improving reception? Quick background, I work in a college's library basement (former bomb shelter!) and therefore my reception is limited at best and nonexistent most of the time. However, after I installed the update yesterday my reception has improved...

With today's announcement of the inclusion of Google Navigation in Android 2.0 I really hope that HTC makes the 2.0 upgrade available.

I do hope that HTC keeps up with the Android updates. What is the point of an upgradeable OS like Android if you will need to buy a new phone for each new upgrade? There are limits though. I don't expect phones to be upgradeable after a couple of years, but if the Hero does not get at least...

I qualified for an upgrade with one year left in my contract and got the Hero for $180 after $100 rebate . I had an HTC Mogul/WinMo and I HATED that thing. I swore up and down that I was done with both HTC and WinMo but the Hero's great review convinced me to give HTC another shot. Not WinMo...
