That I do not know. I did see something earlier prior to the Hero's release that said somebody had to do something (I know....really informative, right
) on the server side.
I am not 100% sure on the server side stuff, but my guess is that if you were able to connect your previous/current phone, you should be able to connect the hero. I'd chat with your IT guy to see if he has any info. When I asked mine, unfortunately, he wasn't sure because he wasn't familiar with Android.
