I believe that Rogers will get the handset first since they were oh so eager to jump on the Dream and the Magic. Pony up the $$$ to buy it from some unlocked Canuck site if you really think its worth it. Now for retard smashing... @K I don't know where to start... All GSM carriers at this point support at least triband GSM, AT&T included. WCDMA is GSM 3G Technology, often referred to as UMTS or HSDPA since it is less easily confused, like you did, with regular CDMA. The t-mob has the unicorn 1700mhz spectrum which is harder to find than a date for you on saturday night. If the Hero were to come to T-mobile it would be another beautiful waste such as the myTouch aka HTC Magic aka total hotness. @Jay Ramos, read the last sentence of the above paragraph. As for the rest of you AT&T Haters... Lets analyze the competition shall we? T-Mobile: Great company, but they will admit their service is spotty at best but that i made up for by their low prices and commitment to customer service. Sprint: With an expansive EV-DO Network its no wonder sprint's data speeds are good, when you can get them. Sprints customer base is only 40% saturated with high speed Rev. A data devices. The rest of their customers are rocking some combination or iden (boost/nextel) or Rev.0 data (phones 6 months old + Virgin). Good pricing for a fairly reliable service but forget it when you talk about customer service. Big Red: I'll admit, they have the best coverage map. Every wonder why? They don't bother telling you that the coverage they have in rural no-where america is at -100dBm on their 1x service. If you needed to look that up don't bother replying. Verizon is the essential evil empire holding back wireless evolution Big Blue Bell: Does AT&T have the most coverage? Nah, do they have the best coverage? Absolutely. AT&T gives you quality of quantity with 70% of its markets being covered with glorious 3G. Who has the fastest 3G? Its pretty obvious by the fact that all 4 major carriers have plans on joining the 3GPP bandwagon Ma Bell started years ago. Is AT&T for everyone? Absolutely not, WAY overpriced but we can chalk that up to them having no backbone. If the big red check mark does it then it must be brilliant so AT&T follows right along with all its pricing. Fortunately they do get the best phones as well as worldwide compatibility. I'm not saying its always true but if the entire world is following a certain path, GSM, why would people like sprint and verizon start large companies that would only interfere with progress?

Look at the website specs. The Hero runs a WCDMA of 900/2100mhz; with a quadband of 850/900/1800/1900mhz. TMo USA 3G networks uses a WCDMA IV 1700mhz uplink - 2100mhz downlink. Without that 1700mhz uplink ability, the phone can run on TMo network, just not the 3G (think unlocked iPhones running on edge). Kind of pointless to bring in a 3G phone in a market where it's full capabilities won't work. Too bad; my TMo contract goes up January and I've done about all I can do to my poor 3G iPhone. I really want to play around with the Android based sense UI. TMo USA is not gonna happen guys. Look at the website specs.

Further more, The Hero would be wonderful for At&t, because they don't cripple phones like verizon. Yes big red has the storm, sprint has the Pre, and AT&T has the Iphone. Who has the most exclusivity of phones. Big Red does with Lg. Also, when I travel south; I have dropped calls with Verizon. When I had att, it didn't happen, snd I live in the midwest in Indianapolis. So, AT&T would be a good choice given its fast 3g and being the 2nd largest us carrier. Take notation, AT&T is updating their towers to the european 3g standard which is very high. First off, at&t does not have dropped calls. Further more,

Personally, i think HTC should make a Sense update available to other androids, such as G1 and most importantly galaxy- having sense on a galaxy would make it easily the best bet to knock the iphone down a peg.
