[energizer1389]

At least online the Hero is 69.99 in RS

Welcome to our Wireless World

Now with the 2.1 custom Roms being out and 100% usefull(and make this phone really fast with added features). You can get a great android phone for 69.99.

Personally I'd wait for the Nexus One. I've had the Hero since the October pre-release at best buy and after 5 months I'm bored with it.

Ha ha..I agree. Hero is a nice phone but I'm going to ditch it once the Nexus One comes out on Sprint.

The Hero is a great phone! With 2.1 and the Sense update it will be much faster too.

No reason to get a Nexus, besides I would definitely miss all the goodies in Sense compared to plain vanilla android on the Nexus...

I just returned My Hero back to the store today and am waiting for the Nexus!

I suppose it really depends on your use of the phone. All Android phones can perform the same functions the differences are just "hardware perks" and "eye candy".

for $70 it is the best sprint offers.. don't bet on any official 2.1 or flash support though.. pipedreams... besides who the hell can wait for nexus on sprint? Like everyone waited for iphone in verizon?

I'm a lot happier with my Hero now that I have 2.1 running on it. It runs a lot better now that I installed a 2.1 custom rom. For now I'm not going to get the Nexus One and just stay with my Hero.

just got my hero last sunday. I trade my Pearl for it... Great deal. Now I'm running my Blackberry 9700 and my Hero, just swapping sim cards... I love Android and can't wait to see 2.1. I'm taking info to update to a leaked OS this week!
