    Looks good if it's real, however the exact message given is this..

    "HTC is actively working on a software update that will make your experience on your Hero device better. A partial software update is ready in 10 days and a major release will be available in mid September containing local language support.. Please check our website from time to time and update your device when the software is available"

    I would of expected some better grammar and punctuation from the head office of HTC but anyways, here's hoping.

    Turning off WiFi improved my battery dramatically, from 1 day it's now gone to 3 days and I'm only at 50% battery.. that's with pretty frequent use of calls.
    Haven't had a chance to test out the MP3 player, need to look at how I go about moving my music onto it with album view.

    Edit: I can't find anything on the manual about album view, don't know if it automatically downloads the cover or something.

    Have to say the update sounds interesting, obviously alot of people are having a much worse experience than I am having with my Hero.

    I have not used mine a huge amount for Mp3s other than in my car as my current head-unit is broken, and it hasn't appeared to adversely affect my battery playing through the speaker on loudest volume for 20mins.

    Looks very good.

    It's also nice to have a company that listen to customer feedback and try and solve any problems.

    W00t

    My phone has been running a lot smoother since I removed some apps I had on it.

    Im wondering if copilot live is worth having or if its better to wait for the garmin offering..

    As far as i`m aware there`s nothing like that out atm.

    Thats part of the reason that garmin getting involved is so intriguing. If they make a version of their software for the phone could be cool

    Sorry to drag up a bit of the old thread but does the card seem to be an offical card as i've heard lots of reports of fakes and it actually has the 8gb.
