Verizon vs. Sprint Version

---

I just read the Verizon Droid version of the Hero will be coming out on the 6th.... Now my question is if the Sprint version is any different from the Verizon version.... are they identical? I know maybe a few physical differences, but what about internally?

Thoughts?

Verizon has a past history with neutering their phones, for whatever reasons, I'm assuming cost is the biggest one.

For example, the Touch Pro for Sprint came with 288MB of RAM, and the Touch Pro for Verizon only had 192MB of RAM.

While I haven't seen the internal specs for it yet, don't be surprised if they do something similar with the Hero, since they are already really chummy with HTC.

well the verizon phone is the motorola droid, there's already a lot of specs out for it.. all in all its a beast, but its on verizon, and I don't like verizon's attitude of locking everything down

I think the phone will do well, but its not by HTC so there's no sense ui, and it comes out of the box with android 2.0 (so hopefully we'll get it soon then too)

The Verizon Droid is a Motorola phone. The Sprint Hero is an HTC phone. They are completely different animals, but both use Android as their OS, but the Droid uses Android 2.0 and Hero Android 1.5 (though Hero will be getting an update to 2.0).

I think he's refering to the Droid Eris ... verizons unannounced version of the Hero.
