Sprint announces HTC Hero

Sprint has finally announced the HTC Hero that will be headed towards our shores come this October 11th, where it will hit your pockets for $179.99 after some rebates thrown in. Potential owners would be interested to know that this model will lack the chin, a design feature that falls under the “love it or loathe it” category. Apart from the cosmetic change, everything else within remains the same, including Exchange Active Sync support, the vaunted Sense user interface and Sprint TV compatiility. Check out some of the features and specifications below. [Press Release]
