Default HTC Hero phone.

IF I have the G1 data plan in the US with 3g will the 3G work on this hero?

It will work, but you won't get 3G, only EDGE & GPRS. A slightly resdesigned version of the Hero is going to be released by sprint soon, so get that if you want 3G speeds.

US 3g frequencies are not supported by the hero...

like the guy said, sprint is releasing their own version of the hero with ev-do speeds.

but sprint is cdma, not gsm, so you can't take your sim and make it work. You'll have to wait until HTC releases Hero on maBell and shuns tim, or wait for tattoo (i think it IS comming to tim). Or, just get a sapphire, it's the exact same hardare as the hero and you can fit all of the hero rom on it.
Best reference thread ever: Learn to compile your own AOSP build (for sapphire, but applies to dream too)
