Sprint Nextel has announced it will become the second major carrier in the US to release an Android-based smartphone, with its release of the HTC Hero on October 11th.
The HTC Hero is a touchscreen phone with no QWERTY keypad, and will be very similar to the T-Mobile myTouch 3G which launched a few weeks ago.
The phone will retail for $180 USD after $100 mail-in-rebate and new or upgraded 2-year contract.
You can read the full spec sheet for the phone from its official page here: HTC Hero specs.
Rival Verizon has already noted it will begin selling a Motorola Android phone later this year, but it is still unclear which phone that will be.
