The Sprint Hero is slightly different than then original Hero (in the pictures for this article): it's missing the chin. Android community is just too lazy to update their pictures.

The funny thing is that the Sprint Hero is "with google" branded phone..... interesting ....does this mean that MT3G will have sense UI in the future as well..... just wishing for a touch of magic out loud....

$350 for the phone with 1 month of service is a great deal. Considering 1 month of service is worth $70, You're getting the phone for $280 without signing your life away.

Contract free price of this phone is definitely much more than that.
