It has same internal as the GSM Hero featuring a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen with fingerprint resistant coating, a 5 megapixel camera, integrated GPS receiver, trackball navigation, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a microSD card slot.
The HTC Hero supports Sprint TV live and on-demand programming, NFL Mobile Live and NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile, visual voice mail service and offers easy access to social networking sites, including Facebook, Flickr and Twitter.
Sprint will release the HTC Hero on 11 October for $179.99 after a $50 instant savings and a $100 mail-in rebate with a two-year contract.
