We've been asked not to reveal the URLs, but we can assure you we've seen this official support screen pictured above with our own two eyes, which means that the HTC Hero is all but confirmed in a juicy CDMA blend for Sprint. How (or if) that'll affect the availability of the US 3G version unlocked or on any carrier is unclear, but given Hesse's huffy language regarding Pre exclusivity, we wouldn't be surprised if they've got this one locked down for a while as well. We've seen a similar support page for an Alltel-branded Snap, so if you're still tied up in one of the carrier's legacy divested markets and you've been pining after the Snap (and Ozone) on Sprint and Verizon, fear not -- your own version is on the way. We'll admit, if you had asked us a few months back what American carrier would get HTC's highest-end Android phone to date, Sprint wouldn't have been our first guess -- but hey, good for them. If you can't win the coverage battle against the Big Red juggernaut, may as well try to win the exclusive hardware battle, right?

its whatever the carrier decides to make it and sprint usually goes with black....... i wouldnt mind a black as long as they dont try to make it too glossy where every little swirl and fine scratch will show. and thats the date that they are shooting for and htc has let thee providers know how they feel about these late releases and what it costs them so i feel this one will hopefully be released on time for their sakes.

[benmiller]

look what I found poking around #8 on the list yay.

http://www.htc.com/ca/search.aspx?cat=0&page=0&q=sprint

looks like I am going to skip getting the Touch Pro2 if this bad larry is coming out.

[Bagbklyn]

Am I missing something isn't #8 the original touch pro manual?

[benmiller]

I dunno there is sprint hero stuff all over the sprint search site but I'm starting to wonder if its user searchs so never mind I think

[Jjday7]

yeah the hero is going to be bad a$$, can't wait. I am going to skip the tp2 too.

[D/\SH]

we have had hero news on the site many times already and have threads discussing it.... thanks for the post though.

actually i dont like that it doesnt have a keyboard :/ i really need one..thats the deciding factor

[Jjday7]

well fcc approved so here it comes. I can't wait. I am not too happy with my pre so this is perfect.

[COWHEAD]

Yeah I was thinking of getting a pre myself but after seeing this phone I think I will wait for it.

[elboriyorker]

yep, i by-passed the pre to get the hero..can't wait.Oh by the way they wont allow me to pre-order it.lol..

A phone is only as good as its following or in my case if it has a forum similiat to Wckediden, which the pre doesn't. That is whats it Achilles heel.

[benmiller]

I just seen on phonescoop about the FCC passing the CDMA version of the HERO too yay. Which means hopefully by the time I move out to Mass I will have a new phone.

I can't say the pre is a bad phone because it is good at what it is made to do --Multitask-- but I just can't wait for updates and new apps. I think they are taking longer than they should. I know there are a ton of apps in the pipeline that palm is going to charge for. It seems like the pay apps will be coming first based on the pay scale for developers.

I have been through 3 pres and the one I have now is perfect but I am just bored with it. Palm rushed this phone and it is evident using the phone.
