According to a couple of HTC support web pages, the Android powered Hero appears headed toward Sprint and the QWERTY keyboard enabled Snap is on its way to Alltel. First, the HTC Hero is the best Android device released to date, according to our just released review of the handset. It is the first Android phone that offers flash support on its browser and comes equipped with a capacitive 3.2 inch display, a 3.5mm audio jack (placed on the phone at a strange angle) and the exciting new Sense UI. Check out our review of the Hero to see what the screaming is all about. As for this phone coming to the U.S. via Sprint, late last month we reported that some leaked spy shots show an October 11th launch date for a CDMA version of the Hero for the pin-dropping network. For those still part of the Alltel network with a yearning for the HTC Snap, there is also a HTC support page that shows a branded version of that device for the carrier.
