Our beloved Hero isn't on the list, but the MyTouch3G Slide is, perhaps that will mean an easy port eh?
Hmm. The Hero isn't in any of the categories... I guess the Evo buried the other Sprint Androids.

Yeah the Hero is more than capable to run it. Kind of disappointing but not suprising, Want Froyo, buy a new phone. I wish Google had the power to say, want to sell an Android phone? Then push our updates to all android based phones you sell.

Yeah it's bull**** IMO. Im sick of the hero being treated like an ugly step child because of the almighty evo. It's bull**** we won't get a froyo update either.

hell the mytouch 3g is on the list that has all the same specs as our phone except it's tmobile.
Poor samsung behold 2 users
i was reading on another forum that sprint is going to be discontinuing the hero and the moment? is this true? if soo im really ticked considering these phones are less than 10 months old.
i just talked to my friend who works at radio shack and he confirms these phones will be discontinued and not carried for much longer. are there any sprint workers here that can confirm?
I'm trying to make a witty and profound response, but I can't concentrate. Oh mister pit, mister pit, oh mister pitiful.......
yeah it sucks, i bought the damn phone for 500 bucks last october and its already outdated. hows that for some silly ****.
yea i remember staying up late waiting for updates at like 3 in the morning now its pretty empty. thank god to faithful commited devs that keep the hero intresting...... (sigh) i need an evo

id think most users would be pissed right now. i think if they are doing this, it's just to get users to get a droid phone with 4g so we can pay that 'coolness' fee. no reason for you to take offense, this isn't geared towards our small amount of devs here, im talking about sprint/htc. even the damn 1st gen droid got 2.2 and it's about to be discontinued.

im not talking about being outdated. YES in comparison to other droid phones "evo" it is outdated. but i do not agree with them stopping selling or carrying them yet.

I honestly... don't give two ****s. It's the progression of technology. To move with the times, you need to improve with the times. I think it's not bad to discontinue the Hero, but it certainly isn't good either. Hey soul sister, hey that mister mister on the radio, stereo......

There's an Epic section on XDA. Doesn't matter which phone I get, I'd just be loading AOSP or CyanogenMod on it. But please, come down, from that cloud you're sitting on, I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong.....

It's already better than the Nexus One (ugly). This thing is svelte. I'm glad it still has the antenna bump because it's the reason why our reception is good. The Fascinate doesn't have this bump and it has some reception issues with losing service because of the smaller antenna.
- The speakerphone will rock
- SAMOLED
- Flash for those that need one
- LED Notification light for those that need one
- GPS is probably going to work out of the box
- Stock Android
- Good Reception, better than the Nexus One that's for certain
- PERFECT size
- Updates handled by Google
I don't think the Nexus S has super amoled, does it?
That phone is the reason that the Vibrant will probably never see Android 2.3 (or won't for another 6 months or so).
Unless the Nexus S is sporting a 1280x760 screen then its not worth considering if you already have a Vibrant

It's definitely worth it because of the update. I'm getting rid of the Vibrant once I get my hands on the S. Samsung needs to step up and support the damn updates.

The Nexus One has a lot of roms so maybe the Nexus S will have a ton too.
But a lot of devs are HTC fanboys too so idk
This is what I've been waiting for! I'm gonna need to upgrade my signature - a new Nexus is what I need in my life!
Hey all,
Just thought I would inform you that my Epic 4g is officially ordered, and I will receive it in approximately one week. Not only do I want to thank everyone for their amazing support of me for my time on the hero forum, but I'd like to let you know what I will maintain while I'm gone in the Epic section. I WILL still maintain my Q&A section, and will look for questions in my Themes. I will not be releasing new versions of themes, however. If you all would like the themes ported for the latest versions of CM, feel free to do that I just want to let everyone here know that they've helped me develop as a themer and developer, and I will miss this section. And please, feel free to join me as an Epic user
Thank you all again,
-theimpaler747

originally I thought a lot of the concept of the echo was cool, but unfortunately that was only in concept. The lack of wimax and most likely no dev support really turned me away from waiting. I ended up going with the evo even though it's been out since june of last year, don't regret it so far.
