HTC Hero (Android) Release Date: 10/11/2009

atomixpaintball · Apr 21, 2009

Hey guys,

I work for a wireless developer firm and I have just received word from the US carrier (cannot disclose who yet) that the release date for the HTC Hero (Android) is October 11th 2009.

The carrier is giving us specifications to develop wallpaper, ring tones and apps to sell in their market place.

This is just a bit of teaser information for now. I will provide more info as allowed.

And remember, you heard it here first!

Thanks,

Daniel

EDIT: Cats out of the bag. Sprint will be releasing this phone on October 11th.

Hmm looks interesting. Does it seem like the screen is bigger than the Dream and Magic? Actually all it seems like is a Magic... wonder what will separate it from the Magic. Also hope it comes in a different color than Hot Pink

If you re-read the original post, I said I work for a Wireless Developer corporation and we create and distribute wallpapers, ringtones, and apps for almost every phone imaginable.

So when any of the US carriers release their phones, we get the specs first so we can create and test the wallpapers, ringtones, and apps for that phone and respective carrier ie (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Sprint, Boost, etc).

Anyways at this time I still cannot disclose which US carrier the phone is being released to, but Ill update as soon as I get the ok.

Damn... Until I saw this, I was all ready to pre-order the MyTouch. Now I don't even know if I should be signing another contract with T-mo...

I think I want this phone!

ilordvader · Jul 20, 2009

Which Mobile Carrier will be getting this Phone in USA ?

Andrewr623 · Jul 20, 2009

hero

I havn't been able to find a carrier yet but HTC has a full spec sheet on there web site you just have to make sure you are not viewing the us page you have to change either to world wide or Europe or just hit this link

barbiedollish · Jul 21, 2009

I so hopes this goes to Sprint. . . . .whether it comes in all of the cool colors or not

Gapsides · Jul 22, 2009

Here is some info I found regarding the HT Hero. Several wesbites I browsed through say the same bout the release date for this phone.

http://htcblogger.com/2009/07/21/htc-hero-android-phone-announced-featuring-htc-sense/

"Release dates" are towards the bottom of the post.

ilordvader · Jul 22, 2009

Cant wait to get it in OCT form ATT

zambezy · Jul 23, 2009

If it is coming to the US its coming to ATT... It passed the FCC with their frequency (850-1900???) I think that was it..

How solid is your information that it would actually be released in the US?

If that is the case I might cancel My TMO contract that I just signed...

I really dont get it with the carriers... why not announce that you are getting this phone especially when TMO is about to launch MyTouch. People are going to get locked in the contracts and not going to want to switch.

TMO has a great deal 1000min+unlimited text and data $75... I hate to pass on that just to find out that ATT is either not going to release the phone or just push it back for mounts.

UGHHHH....

hg23 · Jul 23, 2009

So tired of waiting 6 months or more for a new phone to hit the US...

ZILLA · Jul 24, 2009

its at&t right?... god October is far away

are you 100% sure on this date?

ilordvader · Jul 24, 2009

Rumor is that HTC Hero will show it’s heroic face in USA on October 11th 2009 by an undisclosed US carrier.

This release date is by no means official. The source of the news is from a user over at xda developers, who claims to work for a US wireless development firm. His words are:

I work for a wireless developer firm and I have just received word from the US carrier (cannot disclose who yet) that the release date for the HTC Hero (Android) is October 11th 2009.
How true this news is nobody knows, but some digging has revealed that his service provider is AT&T. That may not prove anything, but it is glimpse of hope nontheless. Will AT&T will be the one to release HTC Hero on the above mentioned date? Remains to be seen.
