Description

The HTC Hero for Sprint will not be just a CDMA version of the best Android handset we have used this far. It will have a new design, lacking the famous chin, which was so distinctive for HTC’s Android products. Some of the most important features coming with the Hero include, of course, the colourful Sense UI, a 5MP camera, 3.5mm jack, GPS, stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G.

Walmart makes boo boo by showing HTC Hero instead of HTC EVO Design 4G in flyer
You might recall the HTC Hero that was released by Sprint back in October 2009, just a few days before the Motorola DROID started Androidmania. The Hero was evolving from the T-Mobile G1 and certainly looks nothing like HTC's current lineup of Androi...

THIS WAS WHAT GOT ME OUT OF MY iPHONE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO..
Phone owned for more than a year

This phone as bad as it was for some people, way back in the day when I got it 2 years or so ago it was good enough to make me see the light and make me an Android believer.. I love this phone.. the only thing I didnt like about it was the battery, but as I figure things out later, it wasnt really the battery, but more of a network/signal problem due to the bad reception in the area and bad indoor reception..

NEVER BUY THIS PHONE
Phone owned for less than a year

i have gone thru 3 hero's since June 2010. they don't hold a charge. it is slow. it crashes and it stays hot when u talk on it or charge it. I am hoping that the EVO is much better. i like the camera on the phone but that's about it. if i could have taken it back and swapped it for the EVO, I would have done it asap.

HTC Hero
Phone owned for less than a year

I enjoy this phone a lot. It was one of my best phones i had. On the contrary, i had this phone for 4 months now and the phone im using now is the 3rd replacement phone. The reasons for needing to get fix is the application "HTC sense" needed to force close and was needed to opporate the phone. I forgot the other time. I wish it had flash, a keyboard, and a little bigger screen.
