   Anybody know when the next device with HTC’s Sense UI will ship? Anything with a faster processor should improve the experience quit a bit. My Hero is quite laggy.

   The hero was pretty laggy at first, but they have since updated the firm ware( similar to a service pack for windows) update it and the phone will perform 10X better.-David

       For factory reset on Android 1.6, go to Settings > SD Card & phone storage > Factory data reset > Reset phone

       If you’re on 1.5 or earlier, you have to do these steps: http://www.androidcentral.com/factory-reset-tmobile-g1
