Found the RUU over here:

People at XDA have already tested this. It's not possible to apply the firmware update to a rooted device, but if you backtrack to the original stock ROM / RUU (it was found on the HTC support site), then apply the firmware update, you'll be able to re-root the phone using the same method as before. Sweet.

Unfortunately, HTC pulled the file from their support site earlier today (in advance of releasing the update). Thankfully, I downloaded it a couple weeks ago.

It really is easy to damage the screen, so you just have to be careful or get a case for it (rubber, silicon, etc.) and a screen protector. i scratched up my diamond pretty badly one of the first days I had it by simply putting it in my pocket. The screen was facing towards me and there was a rivet on my jeans right above my pocket. Big scratch.

Also, I was at my nephews birthday party at a bowling alley. My phone was in my pocket. After the party, I took out my phone and saw that I'd cracked the back cover. I must have rested the bowling ball against myself or maybe while swinging. Thankfully it was just the battery cover and not the screen!

Moral of the story, be careful and take precautions right away.

Anyone back up the video for part 2? I didn't get to see it and It's been taken down from Youtube already.

No, there's no restocking fee. During the first 30 days, you can exchange it for any other device (assuming you haven't trashed the original one). I think they only allow you to do so twice, though maybe three is the limit. I've done this in the past with my Diamond.

On second thought, maybe there is a restocking fee, but only if you're returning the phone and not getting a different one. If you're simply exchanging one phone for another, no restocking fee.

Good point, Gavin! I was thinking I'd hold off on getting the Hero, but you're right. Sprint gives you 30 days to test out the phone. I guess Hero plans are back on (in a few days).

The specs are posted over here:

For size comparison purposes:

Sprint HTC Hero
4.46 x 2.22 x 0.54 inches; weight 4.5 oz.

Samsung Moment
4.6 x 2.34 x 0.63 inches; weight 5.67 oz.

Seems pretty slim considering the inclusion of the slide-out qwerty keyboard. Gotta check this out in person though.

Now the hand wringing begins... HTC's Hero or hold off for Samsung's Moment. I guess it depends how fast they bring it to market. I could wait a few weeks, though if they say something like, "by the end of the year", who knows. Decisions, decisions...

The CellSouth site is great. Clean and uncluttered, but still provides lots of info. Like that demo for instance. I'm not sure I'd seen it before (though it must be old considering the calendar shows the Hero launch date in May 2009), but it was great. I'm excited to get my hands on the phone in a couple weeks.

I know the chin was a love it or hate it sort of thing, but I miss the white teflon. It looked sexy. This really does look bland to me and too similar to the original HTC Touch. Hopefully it looks better in person.
