Sprint recently announced that they're going to lift the phone restrictions for SERO customers in October so now I'm looking at possible upgrades/replacements.
I went to the Sprint store to check out the Hero, EVO, etc. and while the EVO is nice, I don't want to pay an extra $10 for a 4g phone, especially since 4g isn't even available in my area yet. The same would apply to the Samsung Epic coming out soon. So that leaves me with limited choices and I checked out the HTC Hero. I didn't get to play with it too much inside the store but I liked the size and feel of it.
Do you guys think it's still worth getting a HERO now considering how long it's been out? What's a good price to pay for a used one?

I have an Evo and love it. I just bought my wife a Hero today to replace her phone. The Hero is basicly a smaller slower evo without some of the options like a front facing cam and 4G, HDMI. I like the Hero alot it really does remind me of the Evo. Its deffinantly got a bit more lag then the Evo though. However I dont quite got this thing fully setup yet. My Evo is running CM6 and its tweaked and lots of bloat removed. So far the Hero is on CM6 I am working on the performance tweaking right now and all the bloat I want has been removed.
In short I like the Hero and I think its still a strong phone. Best buy has it for $100, if you are up for a renewal.
Also Q4 is just around the corner who knows what phones that will bring. But as the saying goes if you wait for the next best thing you will never upgrade... or whatever lol.
