"Sprint and HTC Corporation today announced the upcoming arrival of the much-anticipated HTC Hero™ from Sprint, the first wireless device offering the combination of the open and innovative Android platform with the high-speed connectivity of America’s most dependable 3G network1 (EVDO Rev. A.) Offering a rich mobile Internet experience, the much-anticipated HTC Hero offers synchronization for built-in Google mobile services, including Google Search™, Google Maps™, Gmail™, and YouTube™ as well as access to thousands of applications built on the Android platform."

So here it is, finally customers in the US have clarity on where to get the beloved Android phone. Availability is set on October 11th. Oddly the phone will look very different from the European version, as can be seen on some leaked pictures from the web. I wonder what Americans will like better though. I also wonder what version of Android will ship with the US Hero, as Android 1.6 was announced today. It would make sense for the update to be preinstalled but I guess you just never know.
