Yes, most of this new community is from the Hero. We only had 2 phones with Android, and neither were amazing in any respects. So we are all (for the most part) moving over to the Evo.

Some people are upgrading other lines on their plans, or they are just outright buying the phone. We are a dedicated few. Hell, even some of most prestigious devs are the ones who have root and roms cooked for the Evo. (<3 Toast and Fresh!)

It's not that the phone is bad or anything... I think for a lot of the previous Hero owners that the Evo will be the first phone to have high end specs like the Nexus One, Incredible, etc. Plus, all the features and its size, among other things just are far too attractive and enticing, so of course most of us would make the switch.

I agree. The CDMA Hero community is pretty solid, we've really got some amazing devs and themers and it should be awesome to see what we can all come up with for the Evo. I'm looking forward to seeing this wonderful future play out.

If you're a Sprint Premier member, you get to upgrade every year. Doesn't really answer your question since that still means Oct 2010.

I'm trying to scratch together the cash to buy it full retail. Sucks but I'm a gadget nerd, can't help myself.

Rules to live by:
1. Don't refer to a ROM as "buttery smooth".
2. Wiping once is fine (applies to phone only!).
3. There's no reason to tell us every phone you've had.
4. Stop asking if MIUI will have 4G (wimax).
5. Read, search, read more. This is the path to learning.



Dropbox is awesome on Android!

I got the Hero as a replacement for my old Touch Pro after it died for the 100th time. But that still means I have to wait until Oct '10....

Sprint online with a $75 upgrade from a different line on the account. I called in before I ordered online and the rep was able to apply a $70 credit to my next bill in addition to the $75 upgrade. She recomended I order online because they appear to be processing faster.
