HTC Hero approved by the FCC with AT&T 3G

HTC Hero
It appears as though EngadgetMobile has spotted a version of the HTC Hero with 850/1900MHz 3G support for AT&T’s network on the U.S. government’s FCC website. This does not necessarily mean that we will see that version of the device sold in this country, though. Often devices are approved by the FCC even when they don’t go on sale here.
So while this is certainly cause for hope, we had heard already that an 850/1900MHz UMTS version of the device was going to be available, so it could certainly just be a version headed to Rogers in Canada, for example. We simply don’t know at this point. Either way, we do know that *somebody* will be offering a version of the Hero that will work real well on AT&T’s network, even if it isn’t AT&T that’s doing the offering.

This is ridiculous. AT&T gets the iPhone, and they also get the “iPhone killer” as well?
HTC is really starting to rub me the wrong way. First they tend to release phones in Europe first, then in the U.S. months, sometimes years later. Now they are selling the biggest potential iPhone competitor to the same company that has the iPhone exclusive. Wow.
I had an HTC MDA. Then the HTC Wing. Now the HTC G1. I was going to get the HTC Hero, but I may look to switch to another manufacturer.
Woo7! I’m on Rogers and this is EXACTLY the news I’ve been waiting for =D I was hoping I wouldn’t have to wait 8 months..
