HTC support site reveals Hero for Sprint, Snap for Alltel

We've been asked not to reveal the URLs, but we can assure you we've seen this official support screen pictured above with our own two eyes, which means that the HTC Hero is all but confirmed in a juicy CDMA blend for Sprint. How (or if) that'll affect the availability of the US 3G version unlocked or on any carrier is unclear, but given Hesse's huffy language regarding Pre exclusivity, we wouldn't be surprised if they've got this one locked down for a while as well. We've seen a similar support page for an Alltel-branded Snap, so if you're still tied up in one of the carrier's legacy divested markets and you've been pining after the Snap (and Ozone) on Sprint and Verizon, fear not -- your own version is on the way. We'll admit, if you had asked us a few months back what American carrier would get HTC's highest-end Android phone to date, Sprint wouldn't have been our first guess -- but hey, good for them. If you can't win the coverage battle against the Big Red juggernaut, may as well try to win the exclusive hardware battle, right?

[Thanks, Adam]

hero!

[Nzo Posted Aug 4th 2009 8:33PM]

Who uses sprint?

[mikeweezer Posted Aug 4th 2009 8:52PM]

^^^^
I do! Hero!!!

[cloud858rk Posted Aug 4th 2009 9:09PM]

Here's hoping for the $60 a month SERO plan.

[Bradley Posted Aug 4th 2009 9:54PM]

An army of Android phones could end up being Sprint's salvation.

nzo

People who realize that they have BY FAR THE BEST plan on the planet in the form of the SERO plan.

The real question should be, who are these suckers who are paying more for less, and how badly are they kicking themselves for not jumping in on the SERO plans when they had the chance.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 5th 2009 12:03AM]

Cloud,

No $60/month SERO plan.

There is however a $30/month and $50/month SERO plan.

My current $50 SERO plan features:

Unlimited SMS/MMS
Unlimited DATA + Tethering hack (so Unlimited Tethering too)
Unlimited N/W starting @ 5PM
GPS
1250 Anytime Minutes
Pick 3 (One of my Pick 3 is my Google Voice # so in effect):
Unlimited Outgoing Calls (via GV / Pick 3)

I may as well switch to the $30 plan that features all of the above as well except for 500 anytime mins, since my Pick 3 option + Google Voice = Unlimited Outgoing calls

Best calling plan on the planet, bar none.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 5th 2009 12:41AM]

Oh, and Unlimited M2M :)

[msgyrd Posted Aug 5th 2009 9:45AM]

Sprint has disallowed less desirable phones to be activated on the SERO plan (Instinct and Pre), so the chances of a Hero/SERO matchup is essentially nil. I'm on the $30 plan and have been using a HTC Touch for 2 years because there are very few better phones that I'm allowed to upgrade to.

However, the latest exclusive offer plan (new SERO plans) is the "Simply Everything Data" I think, which is $59, and includes their TV/Radio/GPS Nav services. Probably one of the better plans available at the price point. When the Hero releases, I'm switching mine and my wife's individual SERO plans to the exclusive offer "Simply Everything Data Family", $109 for 2 lines, 1600 minutes, unlimited everything else. For two people, I can't find a better deal with the same features.

I really hope it also comes to T-Mobile like the Magic.

[kevin52094 Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:16PM]

I really wanted Verizon to get the Hero.... Hopefully they get the Pre by early next year when my contract is up.

[soccersgreat Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:37PM]

Yeah, verizon never gets any good phones, besides blackberries.

[Hydra Posted Aug 4th 2009 6:34PM]

Alltel doesn't exist anymore right? Verizon bought alltell?

[saturnblackhole Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:18PM]

this is good android looks like its going to be on 3 out of 4 carriers (verizon, tmobile, and now sprint) this will lead to even more people using android and making it a legitimate competitor in the Mobile os arena.

[ljm Posted Aug 4th 2009 7:34PM]

I'm wondering if Sprint is going to force users into one of their 'everything' plans. Does anybody know if the G1 users were forced out of their old plans into something similar to what Sprint has as their everything plan?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:19PM]

Sero Please!

[JONNNathannn Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:28PM]

lol it's nice to wish but Sero days are over...all of the cool phones aren't allowed to work on it anymore :/

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 8:15PM]

I have a Touch Pro on Sero. When the Hero comes out, I will probably have the Hero on Sero. Sprint is too stupid of a company to actually have a policy that can not be side stepped. They gave me the Touch Pro for free btw, to replace the Mogul they paid me to take a year earlier. Love sprint.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 9:39PM]

HERO SERO ! HERO SERO ! HERO SERO ! HERO SERO !
HERO SERO ! HERO SERO ! HERO SERO ! HERO SERO !
HERO SERO ! HERO SERO ! HERO SERO ! HERO SERO !
HERO SERO ! HERO SERO ! HERO SERO ! HERO SERO !

Sorry guys, i had to do that....

[thefourthheat Posted Aug 4th 2009 9:55PM]

They're not stupid, they have to throw us something or a lot of people would probably just get an iPhone if they couldn't get ANY smartphone on Sprint for cheap.
I wish the Hero had more CPU power. I'm so sick of waiting for the TP2 that if the Hero comes out first I'm probably just going to cave and get it instead out of frustration.
And I swear that if Sprint doesn't put either phone on SERO my expired contract is going elsewhere because $30 isn't nearly as good a deal if not a single smartphone is available to actually use the damned data.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 5th 2009 12:06AM]

Jonathan,

That's not true.

The Diamond works
The Touch Pro works
Over at XDA-Devs, PPCGeeks, and Howardforums, Sprint reps who chime in said there is nothing stopping anyone from adding a Touch Pro 2 to SERO plan.

However, the Pre and the Instinct for example, are incompatible with SERO.

HTC phones have thus far all worked with SERO, and nothing definitive has come out saying otherwise about the Touch Pro 2. It's merely a bad rumor going around that it won't work, in light of the fact that many employees who are relatively in the know say otherwise.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 5th 2009 12:04PM]

anything with a semi fast browser or advertised as a web browsing phone will require everything data. win mo phones aren't the greatest for web browsing so they'll probably be the only ones left allowed on sero.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 6th 2009 5:39PM]

motty,

What an ignorant response.

WinMo phones have mulitple webkit browsers (you know like Safari and Palms Web OS browser), Opera Mini, Opera Mobile Turbo, Firefox Fennec, Flash enabled browsers like Skyfire and Iris.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last year or so, you'd have known that WinMo phones have the most diverse, robust, and capable web browsers of any mobile platform out there -- far better than the limited iPhone browser or Palms and don't even get me started on Blackberry's.

[Kyle P Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:19PM]

WOOOOHOOOO!

I can now officially return my Pre! The Hero better be worth it, because I'll be suffering through 2 more months of battery pulls on my BlackBerry before the Hero is released.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:38PM]

Why do want to return your Pre?

I was planning on getting a Pre and a HTC Hero for my girlfriend? Should I just get two Heros instead?

[Plexus Posted Aug 4th 2009 6:19PM]

I've got my Hero yesterday and I can guarantee that it's worth it.
I also have here a Nokia N97 (which sucks just out of the box but after some optimizing, apps, progs & themes downloads and and all updates , it's become an uber-super-smartphone) and my old (10 months) HTC TouchHD.
I promised to myself that after I got the Hero I would sell one of the three, but I just can't decide which one is the one to get rid of.
Probably I will end up selling the TouchHD but every time I use it I just cant bring myself to do it.
Anyway, the hero ATM is the fav of my stable.

@ Plexus

Sounds like you're broke. Congratulations.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 8:12PM]

@Plexus, you could send me the phones you don't want, I could sell them on ebay for you with my 133t skillz. =0

[Paul C Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:19PM]

Rite. People dont care about At&t, they Just want the IPhone so thats where they sign up so they can get it. It wouldnt matter what network it was on. Besides, Sprint always wins the Hardware battles against Verizon......Even when they have the Same exact phones. Please, please, PLEASE put a faster processor in it. Sprint usually adds a few things here and there but who knows. I wonder how long Hesse will have this locked up for Sprint....

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:20PM]

and the launch date is still october 11th ??? dats too far...i want to take it now!!!!!!!!!!!1

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:22PM]

I just hope that the HERO will not have to be on the mandatory Sprint DATA plans (everything or data only) and can work just like my centro on older plans. If anyone can confirm this that would be great. I'll be really upset if we can't use the Hero on older data add on plans.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:31PM]

I will bet money that they will require a data plan. if the phone can support internet, it is leaning towards the carrier requiring data plans. Even on phones that did not require them before. Because AT&T got away with requiring data plans on one phone, now everyone is doing it on every phone...

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:37PM]

I understand people get pissed when high end phones have to get on a data plan but its less bullshit to just cover your ass with unlimited data. For too long on many carriers people got these kinds of phones and EVENTUALLY ended up getting on the net and browsing or downloading etc.

If your current plan with data is cheaper than a everything data plan then i see why youd be upset....however if it isnt they dont make u extend your contract if change plans anymore

Damn did you even see the first FAQ??

Q.
How can I improve my phone’s performance when it is acting slow, sluggish or is not responding as fast as it used to?

A. To improve your phone's performance, from within the Browser press Menu > More > Settings < Clear cache, Clear history, Clear all cookie data, and Clear form data. Also under Settings > SD card & phone storage verify there is enough space to run applications. You can uninstall an application or clear its cache in Settings > Applications > Manage applications. You can also remove the battery for 3 seconds and then reinsert the battery and turn on the phone.

FK MY LIFE...I hope it's not the same "sluggish" performance that it's GSM version has, hopefully Sprint will order in a faster processor or something...

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 9:55PM]

YOU ROCK! I Tried to find but failed epically....so thank you!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:23PM]

Why is the country 'Canada' in the screenshot and the carrier is 'Sprint'? If you go to the HTC website you cannot find the Hero. Is this a joke?

[Chris Posted Aug 4th 2009 5:26PM]

No, it isn't.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 19th 2009 7:43PM]

To answer your question, it is not a joke and can still be found only through the Canada version of the HTC site. You can still find it by searching "htc hero sprint" from the Canada site, but it is not found from the US site.
