Best Buy to Offer HTC Hero on Sprint

One of the things that I hate the most about buying smartphones is that the price you see typically isn’t the real price of the phone. You have to hope for instant discounts and often you need to mail in rebates. Sprint has announced that on October 11 it will be offering the HTC Hero Android [...]

HTC Hero in wild, gets video unboxing

We’re not entirely sure where they acquired it – or perhaps who they had to bribe – but CoolSmartPhone have managed to find an HTC Hero for a few days of play.  Their unboxing video inexplicably starts with a brief wildlife watch, and takes place one-handed in a car, but we’ll cut them some slack; after [...]

HTC Hero ROM on HTC Magic [Video]

Hot on the heels of the HTC Dream (aka T-Mobile G1) “Rosie” HTC Sense video demo comes this, HTC’s second Android device, the Magic, supposedly running the official firmware from the upcoming HTC Hero.  Unlike the LeakDroid SuperHERO ROM, this Fatal1ty ROM is tipped as being almost unmodified.
