HTC has been selling phones under the big carriers for quite awhile. An
unlocked Hero would run 750 to 1000 dollars, it's 180 with the 2 year
contract discount.
HTC Hero US phones start around $500--$350 for a Euro model with 3G that
doesn't work on US frequencies. You'll be paying a lot more than the
retail price by the time you finish your contract. Be sure to buy the US
model if you get unlocked GSM. Sprint will provide theirs with a
contract. Best deal might still be the company discount, though.
Are there other phones that can use Android? Can it be loaded onto a
Nokia? Samsung? LG? Benq? __?
