Verizon to get HTC Hero in November?
HTC will release a version of its Hero on Verizon's network next month, according to The Boy Genius Report. The feature-rich Android-based smartphone will have a touchscreen display, 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with video capture, WiFi, and EVDO Rev. A data. Verizon's version will be have slightly different hardware than Sprint's model (coming next week) and may sport a different name.
Verizon has the network, but doesn’t have the phones
Verizon may be ranked highly in our minds when it comes to network infrastructure, but the company sure doesn't have the high-end hardware when compared to any of the other major carriers, like AT&T (iPhone), Sprint (Palm Pre, Pixi and HTC Hero) and T-Mobile (Android phones). Which is most important for you when choosing a network... is it the call quality and reliability, or is it the devices?
We ask CNET's Molly Wood and Interpret's Michael Gartenberg their takes. Though Molly absolutely loathes AT&T's poor Bay Area coverage, a lackluster phone selection shares many of the same issues with poor reception: The phone is unusable. And while we'd all love to see AT&T lose its grasp on Apple's wunderfone, Michael doesn't see Verizon laying claim to the device this generational life cycle.
What's your take? Would you rather go Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile? Lets light this flamewar in the comments, and send your video responses on YouTube.
