    Nadeen, if you enter the word in one go with predictive text off then it saves the word for you.
    As for the tones, I'm not sure.. haven't changed mine as yet.

    Managed to download it by changing the last 2 digits of the SN, however I have been advised to not bother installing it.

    I just hope that the rumours that Orange will release their own "branded" update are true, HTC don't currently seem to list any HTC updates on their site..

    If a word is completely unknown, the predictive system will show it as orange (rather than green) - touch the word to add to the dictionary

    If a word is close enough to a word it thinks it knows, and you don't want it to use the predictive option is shows, the leftmost predictive option will be the word you want, highlighted in grey - touch to add.

    Re: HTC HERO Arrived today :D

    So tempted to get this phone. Problem is I wanna stick with my O2 Simplicity contract, which means SIM-free/eBay is the only option.

    Re: HTC HERO Arrived today :D

    One of the annoying things about orange

    I usually end up getting my phones unlocked but then this is the first non se phone I`ve owned in forever.

    I understand why they are doing it but with phones like this I`d prefer to be able to update it as soon as possible.

    Re: HTC HERO Arrived today :D

    Well it seems the issues I had posted earlier were things that were "fixed" in the new rom.
    I guess it's to speed up the display of the widgets etc but there are no longer any screen transition animations, other than that of the bookmarks globe spinny thing, as far as I can see anyways.
    Although HTC have left in a setting for enabling/disabling screen transition animations.. but it seems to do nothing at all.
    Figured out the camera zoom, it's now done via the touchscreen (or maybe it was in the old rom too?) I've got 3 phones so I might be confusing it with one of the others.

    Despite never really seeing any lag in the previous build myself, I have noticed that it's now a great deal snappier.

    It used to take Orange about a month to update the firmwares for the SE P9xx phones, so don't be too hopeful it'll appear over night
