crap! i hate living in the US!

(not really)

Not only do we not currently have the Galaxy, with its 8GB of space and 288mb of RAM, but we don't have an autobahn either.

I'm not sure which is worse.

Everywhere I look at online, I see that the phone only has 128MB ram. Also, because its samsung, we don't know how vibrant the developer community will be, and you can pretty much forget about hero rom's and such.

Maybe (dare I say it?) people will stop looking at other ROMs and start writing their own code.

At it's core, the Hero's Sense UI is really nothing more than a set of custom applications (and a few native libraries) that all adhere to the Android API. It's nothing that can't be accomplished by a group of individuals; one need only look at Gtk or GNUstep to realize this.
