Sprint planning HTC Hero & combo CDMA/WiMAX Android phone?

[Chris Davies]

<p>No official confirmation as yet, but according to PhoneNews Sprint is internally testing a CDMA version of the HTC Hero with a release planned for the end of 2009. HTC themselves have only confirmed that the Hero will reach the US "later in 2009", after its European and Asian debut.</p>

good for them, bad for us... i don't think the majority of people would like to go to sprint, their CS, service in general, and phone selection isn't all that great...

also, when referring to a company use has... its a single entity

im actually kind of glad the hero is going to sprint... i have been wanting to switch to sprint for a while but they just didnt have any appealing phones... now they might.

Can someone briefly describe what is Wimax? I know theres google but even with the help of google, I still don't quite grasp the concept of Wimax.

But if it does come to sprint, can we buy it unlocked?
I have always wondered how phones that come from sprint and verizon can be bought unlocked. Do there phone have like no sim card attachment?

i dont have a glue wth "wimax" is but i do know that you can buy a gsm unlocked version of the phone. with gsm versions it wouldnt be a sprint branded phone it would have to be imported.

sprint sux ass lazy! i mean around here its what most ppl use but if u wanna get some hidden fees and sh*t, then by all means u should switch! since i have moved to tmobile my bill has been the same price month to month but when i was with sprint it would go up more and more and would never go down. 300 dollar phone bills sometimes! for one line!

last month my sister got charged 199 dollars worth of sprint music store downloads, and her phone doesnt isnt even sprint music phone compatible! and just so you know the most the could give u back in credit is 50 dollars so she had to fight hard to get them to credit the whole thing

well i just got a job at best buy mobile so if i get a sprint phone i can get a 25% discount on my monthly bill. also if i get the simply everything plan its not much they can charge me for because its all unlimited... and where i live sprint has 3g everywhere so its a win-win-win situation for me!

hell I've been thinking of switching to boost - $50 all you can eat...lol

my sister has that plan your talking about, she works at radio shack so she gets that discount. im not sure u can get the everything plan with the discount. so even with that how do you explain these high prices.

i mean its your decision but i would never go back to sprint cuz they're shaddy! the whole reason i left them was because i got charged 600 dollars for one month of service! and all i do with my phones is text (yes i had unlimited texts) and the occasional call
