Rumors about Sprint getting the HTC Hero and a Samsung Android device

According to PhoneNews, Sprint is internally testing the HTC Hero, which got announced yesterday. Fans of the operating system will be pleasantly surprised if the Hero appears on Sprint, having in mind it is not just an Android phone, but the first one to feature a new personalized interface, called Sense. The Hero itself is slated for a U.S. launch later in the year, but there are no details about carrier availability.

HTC Hero Specifications

That’s not all! An Android-powered device by Samsung is also being tested, the source informs. It will be WiMax-capable, which is entirely in unison with the info provided by a previous rumor we heard. It should be released at the end of this or at the beginning of the next year. If all this is true, Sprint subscribers will surely be pleased, as they will be able to get not just one, but two Android devices. So far, that’s been a privilege of T-Mobile users only.
