I have not heard of a Hero activating on a different plan other than Data plan's. I have activated many of these, Do not give false hope's. I have the Hero, But I also have the Tp2, and the Tp2 has better Internet browsing, The thing's you love on the Tp2 the Hero dont have, No Opera Mobile, No Skyfire, No Copreplayer, No Tcpmp, The Android market is loaded....With kid stuff. The phone is great, But the Android market needs improvement. It needs to open to the masses. But the Hero can easily beat the Tp2 if it had the proper software. Camera on the phone is unheard of...amazing.

New to this, but couldn't you buy online as an upgrade. When you receive it, simply activate online with your current account? i did this wiht the rant when it first came out, when they said i had to have an everything plan. Just a suggestion.

I wanted the Hero bad, tried everything to get sprint to replace my TP1 with a Hero. They did however give me a TP2, while it was on order I dreaded it because of all the problems I had with the TP1. It just seems like the open platform on the Hero will make it a great phone. My co-worker let me use his Hero for a day, I found it to be OK but not what I thought it was going to be. It was very laggy and I had trouble with the touch sceen. The keyboard works, but not as well as some others (I never use a slide out keyboard). The only thing I really liked was the top part of the sceen was dedicated to information no matter what sceen you were on, if a text came in while you were on the web it would scroll along the top.

Then my TP2 came in so I picked it up without much hope. Boy, was I surprised. They really made a mistake linking this phone to the TP1. It is nothing like my TP1, it actually works! I am a little bored bacause I don't spend my time trying to fix or change things! I even like the grey and orange-it's kind of industrial looking IMHO and it keeps you out of windows goofy software.

So my plan was to sell the TP2 and buy a Hero, I might still do that but not until they improve the Hero with eclaire or higher. It is just not business oriented enough for me right now.

Just my thoughts...

We are in the same boat as Propaganda. With our discount, both phones are $80/mth including the taxes. To change put us at 129.99 PLUS taxes. We both have WinMo phones as a result! The monthly increase is just not justified for us.

No it would tell you that you have to chat in to finish the chat and we have to tell you to change the plan.
