Sprint's HTC Hero getting Best Buy presale on September 13?

Alright, look, we seriously have enough evidence here on our desk to put Sprint away for life convince even the most jaded naysayer that Sprint's got a Hero on the way. It's happening, end of story -- but when, where, and how much? We don't have the complete picture yet beyond suggestions of an October window, but we've just been tipped off here that Best Buy Mobile locations will be taking $50 deposits for the phone starting on September 13 with an SKU of 9510013. Whether the phone will be popular enough to warrant relieving yourself of $50 a month (or more) ahead of time is unclear -- especially with the InstinctQ in the pipe -- but at least it looks like you'll have the option.
