It’s not unusual for HTC to repackage the same phone in dramatic ways for different carriers (see Sprint Touch Pro vs. Verizon’s vs AT&T Fuze), but the Hero that 8080.net reportedly has is a pretty marked difference — most notably a more conservative chin. Here’s what we can glean from the admittedly bad machine translation: the outlet claims it’s the Hero200 that the FCC just approved for CDMA bands, and while it certainly seems like a Hero variant one way or another, we have no proof that this is actually the same recently-approved version, nor have we seen what Sprint’s Hero will actually look like. With all those caveats all the way, feel free to jump into the read link and enjoy a number of pictures up close and personal with the device.
