Re: HTC Hero on its way to Sprint! Confirmed!

Based on the original TP/Diamond pricing combo, you will be paying $400, and getting a $100 MIR, bringing the device down to $300 (The Diamond was $50 less than the TP). This is assuming Sprint carries the Imagio (what you are referring to as the D2). I'll take multi-touch for $180, Alex. Plus, with the Sense UI on the Hero, this will make the switch from WM to Android very easy. I see a lot of WM users switching over to the Hero, and not regretting the decision.

Edit: Although, if Sprint carries the Imagio, the idea of putting SPB Mobile Shell on there, with their Sense UI theme would be enticing. I'd have to see it in action, however, to see if that route is worth it.

i AM talking about the diamond2, what makes you think im mistakenly referring to it? Im using the verizon diamond2 specs (which would have to be the same for sprint since it has fcc cdma approval). there are so many phones and rumors to phones coming out that it could really be anything, but what I am talking about is the sprint diamond2, in the end it doesn't really matter what it is. the Leo looks like the best phone out of all of them anyways. a 3.6" wvga with wm to me is worth $50 more than an hvga android.

dont get me wrong, android has a huge upside and from what ive seen, it is very modifiable and you can put new roms on it and all that. But currently there is no app that I want that I cannot find on wm, plus wm7 coming out to me is too awesome to put my eggs in the android basket just yet. A really good android/rosie port should hold me over.
