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:
http://android-simplicity.blogspot.com/2009/08/now-usa-can-get-hero-too.html
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.

Yes, see the Infuse now. Which looks like a nice phone. But not nice on SGS2 level.

I don't understand the big deal on the SGS II with 850/1900. The one I received yesterday has 850/900/1900/2100 3G! So I think they just certified the i9100 *now* with the FCC.

For the I9000, there was a "t" version for Latin America. So who really knows?
Apparently Canada is supposed to get it before the U.S. too. As the 3 major carriers have AT&T bands, it doesn't really matter where it goes first to me.

Does this phone get either on T-Mobile in the US?
I just noticed it today. It is a pretty darn cool looking phone.
No, not unless you get the non american version of the phone.

Ha, that's just plain funny. Back in May when Mobile Syrup (quite wrongly) announced Canada was getting the ics update for the gtab 10.1 by the end of the week, there were literally pages of Americans *****ing and complaining about how it was unfair that Canada should get it first.
As per normal, you got it first and are telling a Canuck to be patient!!!!!! LOL!!!
p.s with a name like BretonGirl are you originally from Cape Breton?

Telus is the same - they need to go through all of this "internal testing". Man I'm on AOSP Jellybean and am so happy I'm almost not caring when and if it comes out. I might flash back to my stock unrooted Nandroid just to do the update for experience's sake when it does happen.

I hold dual Canadian/US citizenship and my family is from Cape Breton, yes. We had to be patient too while Europe and the UK got it first. I never complained. I suggest complaining to your carrier. I bet they are busy shoving as much of their crapware into it as possible. Most carriers love doing that.

Cool,
I am actually very happy with my tablet as is, much better than my Wife's ipad2. I am looking forward to better app compatability, configurable screenshot button, editable mini app tray etc....but that can wait.
I have the wifi version so no carrier to complain to, not that I would anyways my post was meant as laughing at others been impatient (Yanks and Canucks).
Cape Breton is awesome, I used to fly for Air Nova and was based in Halifax with tonnes (or metric fucton????) of Sydney overnights.
Take care,

They are all one big happy company....Rogers owns both Telus and Fido....Which is why you can switch from one to another just by swapping Sim cards on a carrier sim locked device. Found that out when I was unlocking my G1 got an old telus Sim and try to use an unlock code , it was already unlocked for telus, and fido. but the At&t sim from ebay forced the unlocke pin query.
You'll get ICS/JB on an update from rogers when you fork over anonter couple hundred$$$$$ for new hardware.

P.S if it sounds like I'm anti Rogers ....you should stand way back when I talk about Bell..

I'm pretty sure that Bell owns Telus. I know that Telus uses Bell towers for its signal. Your correct that Rogers owns Fido.
I have Rogers for my cell and Telus for my 3g tab 10.1. I can have no signal on my Rogers phone but have 3 bars on my Tab so they are definitely on different towers.
Telus keeps saying they are going to upgrade the Tab and then pushing the date back.
I think developers had forgotten about Honeycomb on Tablets and I wanted to be back on the main path of Android so I thought I would try rooting.
Now on the CM10 experiment by Pershoot and its great. Exactly the reason I will continue to buy Android products. I don't have to rely on some big stupid corporation, I can go to the great developer community and find all kinds of awesome stuff to run on my devices.

Rogers does own fido however they do not own Telus. Nor does Bell own Telus. However Bell and Telus have an agreement where out west Bell uses Telus towers and out east Telus uses Bell towers.

Telus
Well call me stupid ( should use Google search more), Telus is indeed a separate company not associated with Bell or Rogers.
Though I do remember an article 5-6 years back about Rogers buying a portion of Telus. That may have just been an investment by the financial arm of Rogers( diversity is a good thing).

They're all bullcrap. They all need to push updates sooner.

Well, someone got it correct!
Bell and Telus used to be cdma carriers, when they wanted to launch their hspa network a few years ago they agreed to share the cost by building a network together, hence the "Bellus" term! But.....they are two very separate companies and are going their separate ways with lte.

With the recent ICS Atrix 4G leak (or giveaway) I'm wondering about Atrix International version now. We have been far let down than the USA users since we have never received any subsequent GB updates that US users received. Now that Atrix International users are supporting the update campaign, including me, I wanted to run a poll to see how many of current active Atrix users on XDA are Atrix 4G owners and how many own the international version. I already can guess most active users are from USA but somehow I believe Motorola sold more Atrix outside of USA than inside. Thank you.
Update:
As 'ravilov' member rightly mentioned Atrix 4G was ATT exclusive in US. Since ATT phones are usually branded, especially for an exclusive phone, those bought ATT branded phones from outside of US should still vote the first option. Thank you.
Wow did not think that there would be so littel us people (so far)
i bought atrix in US but use it in India
I bought it outside US...but was from ebay, so it is ATT branded. Anyway, i won't choice either on the poll because my Atrix died last week...was so sad that he was not going to recieve ICS anymore. Poor little guy, betrayed by his own parents.
Thank you for your votes so far. ATT branded phone even was purchased outside of USA can be voted as "Inside" of USA. Even if you no longer own the phone, broken or sold, you can still vote. One goal of the poll is to get a rough idea of total numbers of each.
I'm also surprised ATT users are not voting, I guess the leak ROM is keeping them away from this thread
One question though, is ATT radio compatible with the international Atrix's radio?
