HTC Hero Coming To Sprint In October?
In January 2009 we saw the HTC Hero leaked along with a HUGE list of other devices HTC has in the works but there were literally know details besides the name and a blurry picture. Last month it looked as if Orange would carry the HTC Hero in Europe but what about in the United States? An XDA-Developers post gives us some hints:
HTC Hero (Android) Release Date: 10/11/2009
Hey guys,
I work for a wireless developer firm and I have just received word from the US carrier (cannot disclose who yet) that the release date for the HTC Hero (Android) is October 11th 2009.
The carrier is giving us specifications to develop wallpaper, ring tones and apps to sell in their market place.
This is just a bit of teaser information for now. I will provide more info as allowed.
And remember, you heard it here first!
Thanks,
Daniel
We should show some restraint in terms of jumping to conclusions as this is merely a post by one atomixpaintball on a forum that could be completely inaccurate or somebody trolling for fun. But you know us… the robot is always half full of charge.
That being said, this release date is listed on October 11th 2009 which is a Sunday. And as AndroidCentral so wittingly pointed out, Sprint has a history of launching handsets on Sundays so you would THINK, if the rumor is accurate, that the HTC Hero will launch on Sprint sometime in October 2009 or around there. A long time to wait but hopefully will be well worth it.
On a side note I followed a link in atomixpaintball’s signature that said “please pray for LTxda’s daughter” and it seems one of their forum members has a 2 year old daughter with melanoma. If you scroll to the bottom of supportalessandra.com you can see pictures of the little girl and she is adorable indeed. So if you’re the religious type say a prayer, the superstitious type cross your fingers, the hopeful type do some wishing, or none of those types just feel lucky for the health of you and your family.
