HTC Hero coming to Telus - confirmed

---

Good news for Canadians on Telus:

Last night I was talking to a friend who works at Telus. We started comparing his Rogers Magic to my Vogue with Android on it, and he informed me that Telus is 100% getting the Hero this fall.

This also means there's a good chance it will show up on Bell Canada, Sprint, and/or Verizon. I don't know how many North Americans frequent the Hero forums atm, but I figured I'd spread the word anyway.

Telus' UMTS 850/1900MHz network is the same as AT&T, so I guess there won't be a T-Mobile US Hero anytime soon. Unless HTC cranks out a third UMTS version :)

So your friend works at Telus yet he owns a Rogers Phone?

Looks like it is going to be a flagship phone for when your HSPA+ network goes live.
Sweet, means i can import it to use on our UMTS 850 network here

I hope it comes with the chin. I like the original design better than the Sprint one.

Holy thread revival Batman!

And yes, it does have the 'chin'.

lol.. wow dug deep for this one haha..

And for the person questionning the Telus rep with a Rogers phone, i work on Rogers's 3G network and i own a Telus Hero

Sometimes you just like how your treated as a customer

That same friend tells me that the Desire is coming to Telus next. FYI.
