I know someone who got it recently said, it was pretty amazing, it blew all their previous phones out of water.
Their phone before this one was a BB8700.
They also said it was easy to type on.

The Telus HTC hero to support U.S. 3G bands [table][tr][td]Written by Nick Gray [/td] [/tr][tr][td]Thursday, 29 October 2009[/td] [/tr][tr][td]
There is great debate over the looks of the HTC Hero. Quite a few people love the look of the chin, while a growing number of HTC fans are in favor of the more round design of the Sprint HTC Hero. Unfortunately, those of us who live in the United States only have the Sprint option readily available to us. Yes, we can import the European GSM Hero, but since it lack U.S. 3G support, it's a bit hard to justify the $500 expense. Fortunately, things are about to change. Telus (a Canadian service provider) is planning on launching the chinned HTC Hero sometime next week and it will be shipping with U.S. 3G band support (850/1900 for US and 850/2100). The 1900 and 2100MHz bands should allow the Telus HTC Hero to jump on to both At&t and T-mobile's 3G networks. The HTC Hero will be launching as a subsidized handset on the Telus network so you'll have to find a way to import and then unlock the handset. Other than that, there should be nothing to stop you from enjoying the HTC Hero at 3G speeds.

Got the hero since it released, coming from an iphone and dont miss the iphone one bit, i was tired of the iphone os. Background processing was the dealbreakerfor me. Overall the phone is great no complaints for me, battery life has been good and i really like the android os, now just patiently waiting for the 2.0update and hopefully a few changes to the sense ui and the fone will be even better.

So if I unlock the HD2 from T-mobile...will I be able to use it for AT&T?
or is T-Mobile CDMA? Just to confirm...AT&T uses GSM correct?

T-Mobile and AT&T are both GSM, and as stated before no 3G.
But I do think some iPhone users on T-Mobile have gotten 3G.
But you do realize you're gonna be dropping $800-$1000 most likely, those are the current prices as of now.

If the Hero does come to AT&T I'll prob get that, if not the TP2 I guess.
March seems pretty far away and idk if I can wait until Oct, when AT&T usually drops their HTC phones.

Nah, I can't wait for anything. March is too far away. Next October is definitely too far away.
TP2 it is.

That's non-news for techies though. We need to know if they're getting something like Motorola's Droid or the HD2 soon. Many of us also need toknow if the HD2 will be eligible for use on legacy plans. I want to know if the Touch Diamond 2 they're getting is the real thing or the Whitestone(Verizon's Imagio) or if they're actually getting it.
The Touch Pro 2 is what the Touch Pro should have been. The phones that can be used on legacy plans now seem stale to me. Still, I'm unwilling to spenddouble the money for an OS that's more "cool" and no more efficient than using SPB's Mobile Shell.
I guess I'm just a greedy SOB that wants everything

[h1]Video: Android 2.0 Running on T-Mobile G1 aka HTC Dream[/h1]
Android 2.0 only came out last week, but the open-source community has already ported it the T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream, the first Android phone. Check it out:
http://www.youtube.com/v/0ijAgr7v8Mo&hl=en&fs=1&fmt=22http://www.youtube.com/v/0ijAgr7v8Mo&hl=en&fs=1&fmt=22http://www.youtube.com/v/0ijAgr7v8Mo&hl=en&fs=1&fmt=22http://www.youtube.com/v/0ijAgr7v8Mo&hl=en&fs=1&fmt=22
Props go to coder, Akira Harada, for the port, but it's just a sluggish preview at this point. If you're super keen, you can download the code for your G1 here, but you're probably better off just watching the video below and waiting for Cyanogen to cook up a fully functional Android 2.0 Éclair ROM.
