Vid: Espresso ROM running on GSM Hero

At the beginning of the month, an Android hacker discovered a load of HTC codenames buried in a ROM. And though Espresso didn’t turn up in the following week’s leak – an HTC roadmap replete with device photos – we did get a look at the handset’s profile.

Espresso is the Sense-equipped follow-up to HTC’s ground-breaking Hero. This time around, it will have a hardware QWERTY. We may not see the real thing until MWC but what better way to experience Espresso right now than by running its software on the 1st gen, GSM Hero? That’s exactly what you’ll find in the video below:

    kinda looks laggy does it not?

    those Icons just look too old and the glass looking bubbles are horrible I know from some of the leaked 2.xx roms that a lot of these icons have changed and look much nicer now this almost seems like a skin that someone is trying to pass off as a leaked rom

    that's just because it's a ROM probably at it's early stages

    Hmm..

    Am I the only one who likes the current Hero more than this? This seems a bit ugly, in my opinion…

  6. Josh Turmel says:

    The icons on the home screen look nasty… please HTC do not release Android 2.0 like this.

  7. I agree I feel like it is a step backwards when compared to the current Hero.

    I liked the bubble icons, maybe that's just me I suppose, it does seem a bit laggy at times but shit I'm not at all tech savvy so it'd be impossible for me to tell the difference.
