I prefer the original design. The sleek white design reminds me of Apple laptops. I’m not a big fan of the “chin” but I think I could learn to live with it. I find the Sprint version horrid. I think that the curved design looks cheap. I actually prefer the arrangement of the buttons on the original design. I think the worst part of the new design is the metal (or metal-like) exterior. I just don’t like the contrasting metals. I wish sprint would stop adding orange/gold accents to phones (such as the HTC Touch Pro2.) I’ve looked at pictures of this phone on other websites and even though they look better, I still hate this design. I really don’t see it as appealing to women. This phone looks like it belongs on a construction site not in the hands of young hip users.

If I purchase the original hero, will I be able to use it on the sprint network?

What’s so funny about this is it was actually announced a couple days later… which i have not read comments from above so someone probably mentioned what I said. I like sprints version.

The new design looks horrible. First it comes out on Sprint and now the design has changed. I could care less about the software. Software can be modified and ported over to other phones, but the design of the original Hero is what I wanted. Now I am not so sure if all the waiting I did for the Hero was worth it… Thanks for nothing Sprint.

i can’t believe how much uglier sprint’s hero is than the eourpean version! i was really excited to get the phone but no i question its appeal. If sprint doesnt change the look back and maybe just gets rid of the ching but keeps the square like edges a lot of customers will be lost especially if it only comes in that ugly grey!

@Disorderlydj

so let me get this straight, You’re going to get an iPhone because the Hero doesn’t have the cosmetic design you wanted? Are you effing kidding me? That is so retarded.. Sorta like your family. lol

Go get the iPhone.. They’re shit already. Old news, trash device. and say all you want about me wanting the iPhone, I’ve had all 3 of them and they all suck. lol

Sprint will be getting the HTC Hero. It will be called the HTC Hero. It will not be the huge chin version. It will either be a no chin, or a slightly smaller one.

@Dman:

Well you have to remember, some people like having something distinctive and not “like every other phone out there”.

While the chin on the original model was a turnoff for some, there were MANY people that liked it, including myself.

When I first the original, I thought it was weird, but it grew on me fast. This design looks like something someone just threw together at the last minute.

Seriously, a GOLD trim to go around the trackball? Come on. It just looks cheap and in all honesty, I wouldn’t even pay for that phone.

That’s just my opinion, but hopefully Sprint does their homework on what people think about this design and will decide to keep it the way it was.

I was looking forward to getting the white version with the Teflon coating, not a ugly phone like this. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but this thing is UGLY.
