Verizon 100% ultra-failed by not announcing a single phone at CTIA these past couple of days.

It has been confirmed that the HTC hero will be coming to US, but the question now is, WHEN and How much? I am certinaly in for one, after they speedup the firmware. There are too many issues with the lag at the moment to warrant a purchase.
Who else is looking forward for this release??
Details Here:

it should be on tmobile
It looks like it's coming to sprint and AT&T, T-mob has it in europe already, so them possibly too.
I'm holding back my purchase just to see if i can has 3g.

Speaking as someone who has one, and uses it daily, I refute that statement!
I really have no particular lag issues.

I agree with it. i think its even more stable than windows mobile but thats for me
I don't think at&t is gonna get this. They only say 850/1900 3g bands and Rogers is the same. I bet you rogers will get it first in north america which is ok by me because then at&t customers can get it with the reduced price for data as at&t will not detect it!
The new Firmware update fixes all the lag... I have modacos 1.4 running based on the leaked update and there is no lag at all and i have finally been able to have all 7 screens filled with widgets... everything now runs smooth...

FCC doesn't operate in canada, so the FCC clearance isnt for there. so if there using 850/1900 on the FCC its def at&t.
HTC Hero coming to Sprint - see here
IMHO, they may call it a Hero, but it's not a Hero!
http://newsreleases.sprint.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=220644&p=imageGalleryCategoryDetail&t=MI&MICategoryId=16507&
Why not call it something else, since it isn't the same device!

The HTC Hero will cost $179.99 with a two-year contract and after $150 in rebates when it goes on sale Oct. 11. That's a slightly lower price than Sprint's other flagship smart phones, the Palm Pre and BlackBerry Tour 9630, which both cost $199 after rebates.

Don't know about you guys but I'm not diggin' the industrial design of this "Hero". Looks like a redesigned Magic than anything else. Wonder if it has the teflon coating of the original Hero?
When they get Wifi Tethering working on the Hero, I'll get one... I need something to play with until wm7 comes out.
That's no Hero! It's more like the Villain!
I need a Hero!
I saw the announcement of Sprint's Hero not 20 minutes ago and it made me sad and disappointed. I HOPE the Hero that was passed through the FCC with AT&T/Rogers bands comes soon and I hope it's the European version.

Well, hopefully Rogers gets the Euro version and we can buy an unlocked version.
I wouldn't mind that one bit.
There is a rumor that US Cellular will get a Galaxy S variant at some point this fall as well. Is the Fascinate likely to be the one, since both USCC and Verizon are CDMA?
i dont think usc is the same type of cdma as vzw
last i heard they hadnt updgraded to evdo yet, but were in the process
so maybe not
that and each version i have see of the galaxy has has something different about it
From what i've seen and heard, it will be more like the Samsung Epic then the Fascinate.

That would be great, but the buzz on HowardForums is that it won't have a keyboard.
Saw the Galaxy pocket video today, the end showed the carriers, TMO was one of the carriers, is thaqt TOMUS ? Has anyone heard when it will arrive to TMO ?
Definitely coming to T-Mo, although I don't think there is a hard date, but I'm fairly certain T-Mo will be last to release which is a little crappy for you, but it will be coming.
So I'm in a bit of a unique predicament. I bought an Atrix off-contract today, unlocked it, then brought it over to Canada's Telus network.
How in the hell am I going to get that OTA update? Or is it a "per carrier" thing I'm going to have to wait for?
You're not really unique... I'm in the same boat but in another Country lol. A friend in Canada got mine from Bell and unlocked it and I'm using it in Australia on the Optus network...
I would assume that Moto will issue the update to all carriers selling the Atrix, so hopefully its just a few days away (fingers crossed)
I brougt over an atrix from att to rogers. I seem to have the update. So it does not seek to be per carrier.
Technically it is. You have an AT&T phone & firmware, and its AT&T phones getting the update....
Has anyone talked to the Bell rep to see what they have to say about an update? I REALLY want the Atrix after seeing how Atrix Owners have gotten much better battery life.

If I lived in Canada, I would be knocking on their doors right now!!
I was walking my dog the day after St. Patty's and came across a Droid 2 phone. I called the last 3 people on the recent calls, left messages, and no response. So I figured I'd try to make this a testing/whateva phone.
My question is this....Can I actually use this phone with another carrier? Like Boost, or cricket? and how can I unlock it to do so. I just rooted the phone with no problem, but I would really like to unlock it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can get it flashed to cricket or google how to flash it yourself if you already have a cricket account.
Also DO NOT upgrade the firmware to .621 aka 2.3.4 or you will lose root forever!
/ is cricket the only possible provider? I've heard in the past sprint or att are possible options, and I've googled for months and still found nothing. Right now I'm on att with 2 infuse 4g's.. but I did buy a droid 2 and an x2 when I was with verizon...(sold the x2, to someone who got it unlocked). Any help from anyone would be huuugely appreciated..

If your Droid 2 is a Global you may get it unlocked to use AT&T. normal Droid 2 lacks a SIM card so only cricket/page one is all you can use outside of Verizon
