do not get the htc hero..ive had several problems.. biggest is with deleting text messages this is my 2nd replacement phone of the hero..cuz sprint techs could not fix the problem after hours of trying on the phone..i was able to delete any of my text messages and only way to correct it was to do a hard reset and i lost all my info on phone..that did not correct the problem so they send me replacement phone..and now the same problem is going on excep this time i now cannot get picturemail to open at all..once again sprint told me cant fix text messages being deleted and only way to fix the picturemail problem was to download an update for the phone will in doing so will wipe out everything u have in your phone

What are you guys talking. Chin is ugly. This phone feels way better in your hand.

Upgraded from Samsung Instinct to the Hero on 10/12. Like night and day! I passed on the Pre after hearing about a possible Android phone (Thank goodness). I really wanted to love the Pre, but it was just…not…all…that. The Hero on the other hand is the BEST phone I have ever used in every possible way. The iPhone can’t carry this thing’s water. This phone can be tethered by simply checking one box under the wireless settings– no rooting or 3rd party app necessary. I’m getting Rev. A speeds tethered– 1.4 down, 800 up. One Kick @$$ phone.

OK, now that I have had my hero since 10/09/09 (Thanks best buy rewards zone) I am happy to report, this is the besy phone that has even been in my hand. I was skeptical about the on screen key board. My last phone was the touch pro. However, it works better and faster than the full hard qwerty. Good job HTC, and thanks Sprint.

Those who care SO much about what this phone looks like over the UK version are so F’n funny. As long as it does what it says it does under the hood and the sense UI works as advertised I could really care less about what it looks like as long as it’s not as thick as a brick.

I mean who really pulls out there phone to show off how it “looks”? I care about what it can DO first.

i really dont see what the big deal of the chin. it has no keyboard so whats the point of it looking like the g1 when it wont even have a keyboard and then new design is very sexy and its obvious that us always changes their designs when it comes to phone just like att did with the touch dimond 2 and other carriers with the touch pro 2 so we get what we get. i been dying to get the tp2 on sprint but it doesnt look like the price will be dropping anytime soon so i might as well give andriod a try. who knows i might like it better then wm the only thing i would reallyl ike on this phone is touchflow 3d on the main screen that would make me love this phone but as of now i really like it hopefull fall in love lol

Guilty, I have had Sprint for almost 8 years. I hear everyone talk about crappy Sprint Cust Service. I have never had an issue EVER. Whenever I call, I have always had excellent response, friendly voices, and knowledgeable people. Unfortunately I live in a small town, and nearest “service Center” (not store) is an hour drive away, so kind of a pain! I have had the HTC Touch for almost 2 years, and it has been a love/hate kind of thing. Does everything I needed a business/personal phone to do. But Touchscreen texting/entering is clumsy at times. Touch-Flo was nothing that it was cracked up to be, and had to replace phone after about 1-1/2 yrs (screen failed and unit just STOPPED, no fix possible). Had the $7/mo maintenance plan (stealing AMEX…Dont leave home without it!) Love the look of this Hero, but not sure, not familiar yet with Android, but know I am really hating WinMo 6.1. Decisions, decisons!! Happy Hunting ya’ll
