$167/month Sprint family plan (including CA taxes & fees) for FIVE (5) LINES with 1,600 Minutes + Unlimited Everything Else (ie: Any Mobile, 7PM N&W, Messaging, Data, BIS, GPS, TV, Radio, etc) with Sprint.
#1 - If you have to buy for more than 1 person, you can't beat the price of the HTC Hero. We are selling it for only 1 penny. If you had to buy two HTC Hero at Sprint Wireless, you would be paying $300 plus. If you buy it by clicking the CLICK here links on this page, you will only have to pay less than 1 dollar. This is the best selling phone on our website in the last 30 days.
#2 - Up to January 17th, if you sign up for a HTC Hero phone, you will also get free activation which means you save up to $36 dollars per line.
#3 - If the HTC HERO is the ultimate consumer friendly smartphone, think of the collection of apps geared to the female user you can download and play with.

"DAY 2 with my HTC HeroSummary:
My Sprint store called me last night (10/8/2009) to let me know my Hero was in stock and ready to pick up. I got the phone home around 8pm and spent about 4 hours playing around with it, and another 3 so far today. It has customization options I could only dream about on my iPhone (Edge and 3G owner, from day one of both). The phone is smaller than the iphone, but fatter, which I am ok with, feels more comfortable in my hands than my 3G did.
Pros:
-It most certainly does support Exchange sync. I'm using it right now to get corporate email, calendars, and tasks
- Solid feel
- Removable battery
- decent camera/camcorder
- feels MUCH nicer in my hand than my iPhone
- MicroSD slot
- great selection of apps (its no AppStore, but I'm not complaining)
- auto-brightness much more responsive than my iPhone
- can run multiple apps at once, background apps (not push notification, actual background apps)
- Doesn't sync with iTunes (honestly, the WORST feature of iPhone was being tied to this behemoth)
- turn-by-turn GPS is FREE with a sprint 'everything' plan (although this is carrier specific and not phone specific)
- much quicker than previous reviews have made it seem, definitely more responsive than my iPhone(s)
- can pull contact info from Facebook right into phone contact (image, e-mail etc)
- plenty of fantastic apps out of the box
- can delete unwanted factory apps (apple weather, stocks, notes, and cal apps? pfft.)
- can use standard mini-Usb for charging/syncing. no $20 apple proprietary cable
- im sure I will find plenty more as time goes on
Cons:
- I will probably miss the beauty and ease of use of the iTunes player in my iPhone
I would recommend getting this phone. So far its the best phone I've had. Commented by Cnet user GoingToAlpha on October 9,2010"
- doesn't dim when you put it to your ear
- apps run in the background and sometimes you forget them
(this is easily resolved if you download a process manager application from the marketplace)
