Sprint telesales reportedly selling the HTC Hero a few days early

Despite having an official release date of October 11, some customers have been reporting positive results when trying to place an order for the HTC Hero. Simply put, this may or may not work for you, but if you have been waiting, it may be worth a try, after all the worst they can say is no.

Should they allow your order to go through, be prepared to shell out $279.99 and agree to a two-year agreement. Of course, $100 will be coming back in the form of a mail-in-rebate.

And at worst, they will tell you that the Hero is not yet available and you can call back on Sunday.
