No logo here, I got it from BB. I've still haven't driven to the next town over to see if I have it. I was in Boston on Saturday, but never thought I needed to check if REV.A was on. I haven't needed to worry about that since the early days on the Vogue. One thing I did notice pictures were taking awhile to upload compared to my TP

Mine was purchased from Sprint telesales. Are the Heros from BB missing the logo, and the ones purchased from Sprint have the logo? What is the experience with the Hero owners on this board? Does your phone have the logo, and where did you purchase the phone?

If you are using a diamond, this will easily be an upgrade. From a TP, it's hard to say. I came from a mogul, and I'm still getting used to the lack of a physical keyboard. So, if you need the physical keyboard (the spelling suggestions on the hero are fantastic, and I rarely make typos...), you may want to wait for the Samsung Moment. Android is awesome, and in many ways, better than WM. I was very familiar with WM, so finding things in Android has been a challenge. Also, getting used to a capacitive screen took a few days. When you are used to pinpoint precision, you need to adjust to a screen that only accepts finger input. But now, I don't think I could ever use a phone with a resistive screen again. And the screen resolution is not an issue for me. Granted, I upgraded from a QVGA to a HVGA device, but with the pinch to zoom feature in photos and the browser, it makes reading anything very easy.

For me to switch back to WM after using Android for the weekend, MS better come back with something ground breaking. I know it's early in my Android usage, but so far, I'm sold.

Couldn't have put it any better. I didn't like my brothers Diamond as I felt it to be too sensitive and it FELT like a capacitive screen as it seemed as though you had to use more of your finger for typing then my nail as I was used to with my mogul. I too at first didn't like the Hero's keyboard and took some getting use to but now i'm getting pretty fast and the predictive text and suggestions rule!

Got mine from a sprint corporate store here in VA and no logo and it's running rev.0

I did notice a bit of a lag with web pages loading, hmmm. Compared to skyfire on my mogul it is a bit slow.
