In the first time,i heard about Sprint will get HTC Hero,talk of the town phone in Europe in that time which comes with new user interface named "HTC Sense",i think that is very good news for Android fans in US to get new phone after they get 1st Android phone from Tmobile , my Touch 3G , And after FCC for Sprint HTC Hero passed,We got pictures of Sprint HTC Hero leaked and that was a hot topic with its designed,Sprint disappointed HTC Hero fan who want chin design by bring out chin out of Sprint HTC Hero and give it to metallic coated.

However,Sprint HTC Hero with out chin or some people call sprint styled released to US Android market on October 11th making Sprint the second brand to offer a mobile with Android OS and the first Android phone with CDMA network in US.Sprint HTC Hero run on Sprint's high-speed 3G network,no SIM card slot.

Same as my Touch 3G,no QWERTY keyboard in Sprint HTC Hero.So,in the box you will get 2GB microSD card and you can extend upto 32GB for your multimedia application.All i can say about Sprint HTC Hero,this is a awesome Android phone although some people don't like its design but with $179 that not much to pay for this phone.
