This is nothing other than re-branded HTC Hero. Any takers? :grin:

Old, rebranded HTC Hero with Android 2.1 for 18k ???????????

Exactly my thought. Wonder who will really buy this. Hero never got Froyo update. Paying 18k for being stuck in Eclair makes no sense. Better get Galaxy S Mini by paying 1k more.

CDMA sucks...

some may go for it as it have Android (WOW). only much latter they'll realize their mistake.

But still who would like to go for a phone still running on Eclair? Even Froyo looks dated now with Gingerbread coming into focus.

^ really ?... whats so dated about froyo ?... I am currently running Gingerbread CM7 on my O1 ... apart from the redesigned notification indicators and the text input related part, you will see no difference

If you have to buy a new phone, will you settle with Froyo? I'm sure I won't. I consider future updates before buying a new phone.
I'm sure that would be the thinking of other educated buyers too.
