I compared the specs of the touch hd to this phone and its almost practically the same exept for the screen size and resolution... so if I could wait fot touch hd with android i'd buy this phone to replace my g1... but what keeps me from diving in... is the fact that they already have touch hd with android on it at a show in january... but because of the hardware not being updated to android specifications and as you mentioned earlier 2.0 not released yet so it would not run aswell... I think htc will make a touch hd 2 (or pro) and put android on it... and that will be my personal official iphone killer... (sorry I have many iphone friends with pompous atitudes toward the supremeness of their phone, and i'd love nothing more but to shut them down with proper hardware the highlight the true capacity of the android os) but if nothing else comes by the time my contract is up... I'm getting the hero.  ^^]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[endmp]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 24th 2009 3:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HTC Hero hands-on: Flash, keyboard and ruminations (updated!)]]></title><link>http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/24/htc-hero-hands-on-2/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/24/htc-hero-hands-on-2/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is there any word if HTC will update the OS on this device as Android grows and matures?
