It will be their premier phone for the winter holiday because that's when the pre exclusivity will end.

You sure about that?

Dude that pic is so small how could you tell? I think that might be an android phone only because of the lil' chin.

Do you have any info that would suggest that "Jasper" will be any different with Sprint (other than the keyboard)? I think the biggest issue with the hero is the fact that it's basically using the same hardware that the Touch Diamond and G1's use. This just wont cut it anymore, not with all the awesome things they're trying to do with the UI.

No keyboard, no Hero
