Ric L.. what do you mean by forces the issue of a $50 gift card? I want to pre order it, so maybe posting this is pointless lol.

PS – If I do, am I going to be able to transfer my att numbers over?

I can confirm the SKU does indeed work as “PRESELL SPRINT HTC HERO” and the pre-order is $50 but also forces the issue of a $50 BB Gift Card. I preordered mine today.

I work at best buy…just so happen to be there right now. This sku is for an LG prepaid phone in my system. Sorry guys but the sku is a fake. Honestly I want this phone to go AT&T or at least multiple carriers.

I work at Geeksquad at Best Buy in Citrus Park, Florida. I put in the sku above and it indeed is true. The BBY Mobile people didnt even know that the Hero was coming to Sprint. Sku rings up “Spring presell HTC Hero” for $50

@ Anton S:
U.S. Cellular is the major carrier in the Upper Midwest – They are a subsidiary of TDS Telecom based out of Chicago and probably provide the best coverage in the Madison, WI area. Their newest phone offerings (2009) were also released by Verizon back in 2007/2008. Talk about being behind in the times…
@ Carlos: Good to know. I was planning to go to a USC Kiosk this weekend and ask but now I will go by Sprint’s. I had Sprint 10 years ago out East and use to get killed on roaming charges. Sprint’s coverage map does not look good in lower WI but maybe they have more partner agreements in place now to prevent roaming charges.

I have a best buy mobile a mere 2 blocks away from my house. This is the best (rumored) news I’ve heard all week.

Looking for some speculation:

Will Sprint require a “Simply Everything” plan? I’m hoping I can just go with Everything Data + 450 minutes, but there is history here, right?

Price: +/- $200?
