Hero Questions

Guys,

looking to buy the hero but had a few questions,

1. Does contact name show when receiving a sms? i have a nokia 5800 and when you receive a sms it shows new message but does not show contact name

2. Is there a message thread, like there is on the iphone

3. Does the hero have kinetic scrolling when looking through your contacts, music, and browsing the web.

Thanks

I know its a yes to the forst 2 but by kinetic scrolling do you mean that if you scroll hard it will keep going after you take your finger off the screen? if so then yes to that one too

yes, yes and yes

thats the thing about android that kicks iphones ass... if you dont like the way the messaging function works or looks. just download or write a new one... e.x. chompsms.

Hi, What do you mean when you say download a new one?

well since android is open source you could just write a new messaging app. with a new layout and new behavior. like chompsms does it already. it displays the message conversation more like on the iphone. but there are a couple more out there (not sure cause i like the hero messaging style).
what i'm saying is, you can already get different messaging, phone, mail or what ever else apps that replace the ones you have on your android handset atm.
beauty of open source
