New android user with Hero on the way

[Hawkeye]

Hi all,

I'm soon to join you in the wonderful world of Android as my Hero is being delivered today. As such, I'm thinking about what I'm going to need soon after I get it and have a couple of questions.
I'm sure they've been asked many times before, but a scan through the first few pages of this forum didn't give me any hits, so please bear with a new guy by answering them one more time?!

a) OK, I did see this one answered a few months back, but obviously things change, so where's the current best place to get an 8GB class 6 card? Amazon have one for about

Thanks - I'm going from Vodafone to T-mobile, so wasn't sure if my SIM would be read by the Hero when it came, although I suppose I could do it the other way and load the T-Mobile SIM into my C902.

Now just going through the threads, working out what apps I'm going to need to focus on ;-)

The only problem I have with that idea, is that the contacts list on gmail includes everyone you've ever emailed or had email you - including all those Dell, amazon, Richer Sounds, ebay, paypal etc. circulars.
Maybe I just need to look into the settings a bit more, but is there a way to flag people as 'real' contacts in gmail?

Yeah, I think there's an "all contacts" and a "my contacts"

only mycontacts is synced

Its a good card, got mine from amazon too. I have a generic hero screen protector from ebay, sent in from China or somewhere like that. Does the job and I don't notice its there. Those invisishields can be frustrating to put on.

It's worth a browse through here I reckon Mate!

Play.com (UK) - Free Delivery - Mobile - Search Results: 8GB sdhc

The cheaper ones there are all class 4 though, I would heavily recommend a class 6 card.

Oh OK Mate,

Did not realise that!! I've heard that they run good enough on a Class 4??

But for the extra money I agree with what you say Class 6

I don't find this option... ???

in your web version, not on device.

b) When going from my old Sony to my new Sony C902 I was able to send all my contacts in one lot over bluetooth. Am I likely to be able to do the same with the Hero?

c) is it worth getting a screen protector such as this one?
HTC Hero Screen Protector SP P260 - Twin Pack

Thanks for any and all responses!

I don't have a screen protector either. I have a phone sock for when it's in my pocket AND a padded (small) camera case for when it's in my bag.
Oh and welcome to the Hero club.

What do you mean??

In contact tabs of gmail on the web version from a computer?

Ahhhh got it..

I had to go in Setting / Application and wipe data for all gmail app and contact.

After that, re-log to gmail and now the option is there!!!
