Just ordered HERO

jofeejoe · 10-08-2009, 01:49 PM

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the HERO is available through sprint telesales right now! I just ordered and have the original $30 SERO plan. I confirmed about 3 times if my plan would work, he said yes. I asked if my plan would change, he said no.

I have an order # and it's on the way!

Ahhh! Don't make me second guess my trip to Best Buy tomorrow.

Nice. There must not be an ESN block on the HERO right now. Hope it stays that way.

Please post your results. Will you be getting it tomorrow?

It's strange, there's no official news about it not being restricted like the Palm pre. But then the instinct HD had no such announcement either.

If you can keep your plan at Sprint, what's the chances Best Buy won't have to change the plan either? Is it as simple as processing the upgrade, and they only require your plan information if it throws them an error? Or are they always required to go over the plan information?

well, once they try to activate it on the system. That will let them know if it's possible or not.

Agreed, but why would the rep place the order if he know's for a fact that phone is not compatible with the plan? I'm hoping for the best and will report back.

I live right above KS, so it should be here tommorrow just as all of my other devices have arrived-next day.

chiratsu · 10-08-2009, 02:28 PM

trying now, you better not be kidding!

thechosen1ji · 10-08-2009, 02:32 PM

why would a rep do that? I don't know but its happens all the time specially with reps that are not familiar with SERO plans. I'll wait till tomorrow and see what plans the billing system lets the hero be on.

I never trust those reps. The moment of truth is when you try to activate it online. But I guess if worse comes to worse, u just have to return the cellphone

chiratsu · 10-08-2009, 02:34 PM

Wow, the rep just said it was released today! Waiting with my fingers crossed! haha **** I cannot wait to get my hands on this shiz!
