Hero to Evo?

Ok, now that we have an EVO release date, who is going to sell their Hero and get an EVO?

I am very tempted but I'm not eligible for an upgrade until next year.

I may have to search the house to see what I can sell.

In the meantime, now that we have an EVO release date, maybe 2.1 will drop for the Hero tomorrow, even though I am already running 2.1 I would like to check out the official release for a bit.

My Hero is as good as gone! I don't even care about that update any more. I'm upgrading to Snapdragon greatness! Anyone looking for a Hero?

I'll be upgrading to the EVO no matter what the cost, calling up Telesales on the 4th and charging the phone to the account. I've been with Sprint for almost 9yrs, Premier as well, so I will doing what I can to get a discount because I'm out of upgrades till 2011. If it costs me retail ($449) so be it, I gotta have the latest and greatest! Hero might ge ebay'd, sold locally, or just kept as backup.

I'm sticking with my Hero because I am cheap. It does 80% of what I want it to, that is a big step up from the 50% of my old Mogul.

I wont get one...atleast for a while
My opinions

Quote:

IF I upgrade, it'd be to the N1. The EVO and these extra charges make me laugh.

$430....no

.... (don't have an upgrade)
and extra $10 a month...ever(even if I'm in a 4G area)....no

....

3G has me plenty happy, as long as they don't artificially bog it down to promote 4G when it comes out I'm in no rush to spend more money a month. 3G tethering has proven to me that with a stronger phone, 3G is plenty nice for my needs. Running firefox on my laptop while tethered is plenty peppy. You can't go torrent happy on 3G but it still is respectable if you want something and you start it before you fall asleep.

I like my Hero and hopefully it'll get 2.1 and 2.2 in the future or perhaps I'd up to the N1 (which should be more affordable)

I'm on Sprint to have a fairly cheap plan $77 a month (with tax/BS charges).
I wish I got on Sero while I had the chance back with my TP but I digress

The N1 is no longer coming out on Sprint or any CDMA network.

I have the Hero and I'll be upgrading, the Hero is nice but it's slow yea yea the 2.1 upgrade will make it better but who knows when that'll actually come out. Also I've been wanting a bigger screen for the longest time so the EVO is right up my alley. As far as selling my Hero, yea that'll never happen, you can get one brand new for $99.99 so no one in their right mind is gonna buy a used one for more than that. I'll just trade it into Sprint for the $75 credit.

Ya I wrote that before I heard they denied the N1 (

) but I was too lazy to amend that fact since I'd love an N1, the EVO is just too big.
I'd REALLY love a TP2 with Android (and snapdragon). It could be 4G too but mainly I want a snapdragon, android phone with a keyboard. now THAT I'll go for

there will be other android phones coming to sprint later this year im sure. i agree the evo is not worth it and is too big for my tastes.

Rumor was/is there is a TP2 like Android device coming out. Don't know about the Snapdragon but it would still be nice to see a DECENT (ah-hem Moment) keyboarded Droid on Sprint.
