You can switch your preorder to a BB in Fla.

Re: Hero Oct. 9th!!!!!

Looks like i can grab the Sprint Hero for $274.96 being only one year into this contract (this is with Texas taxes applied 8.25%) not bad.. Good thing i got that reward member card on my keychain

My Touch Pro just crapped out due to a cable that came apart when it slides open for the keyboard. Basically the screen died, prior it was draining ink into the back of the screen, white lines and crazy stuff until it became darkened out forever.

enter Hero -
-Android Market
-built in Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, and Youtube
-full virtual multi-touch QWERTY keyboard
-Customizable and ROM upgradeable
-Upgrade to 5.0 Megapixel camera and camcorder

hmmm graphics seem fluid on the device, gestures support, multitouch and potential. Seems like quite an upgrade actually. Paid like $286.00 last October 26th for the Touch Pro and that failed miserably due to the play in the slider mechanism after one short year..

also i just saw Pandora and LastFM for Android in the marketplace. FREE. I bet it even streams music without stuttering or heating up. We shall see

$179 is the price for either a new activation, or a 2 year contract renewal. If you just want the phone, you will be paying full price.
