I wouldn't have known there was a difference since I was driving a Chevy in the US and I never looked at what German VWs looked like, but I had a cousin in Germany who wanted a Golf and said she was glad she would be getting a German Golf because she thought the US Golfs were kinda ugly 
Chin, no chin - whatever. I just want to know when the phone I want is coming out. |
Not that I'm particularly fussed, and I do take your point, could it be that the newest version of the car hadn't been released in the US yet, but had in europe/germany, hence why they're different? You in the US were on the mk1 Golf, and we in Europe were on the mk2 or something?
My point was just that I'd find it strange for a company with no history of doing so to call different hardware by the same name in different locales. Especially if you look on XDA-developers under HTC Hero - there's only one phone, and no mention of it being different in the US...a Hero is a Hero! This is the first time I've EVER heard of HTC doing that... especially as they're not a US company themselves!
Making certain hardware not available in certain countries, fine. Calling the same hardware by codenames (Passion -> N1), fine. Calling the same hardware different things in different countries (tradenames in one country, not in another), fine. Taking the Hero name and applying it to 2 different bits of hardware in different locales - makes no sense.
Anyway, bit of a segue... I want my Bravo! (or maybe a Supersonic!) NEED to get rid of my Galaxy, as it's terrible. SO SLOW!!
