Any mobile phone techies excited about the release of the new Hero? Sprint is launching a modified version of the European Hero here in the U.S.A. The reviews seem pretty good and there's a lot of buzz around it.

For $179.99 I can upgrade to the Hero and stay on their $69.99 Any mobile, Anytime plan which AT&T can't even touch. I've always told myself I'm getting the iphone when my contract with Sprint is up in January but this phone might give the iphone a run for its money. Plus, I hear a lot about the AT&T network being bogged down by the tons of iphone users and their data plans.

Sprint | Coming soon. Only from Sprint. The HTC Hero? with Google.
