HTC Hero in UK - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry, didn't want to stomp into someones thread about when it was release in the US, so thought I'd ask about the UK.
Is it possible to get around here yet? In the UK? I know the release date is later in July, but sometimes you can find them knocking about beforehand.
Cheers

I really like the look of this one, what is the best price you have found it? (offline)
Best price I can find is £400....

Yeah, Mexico is the WORST place for android devs

I found it for £400 from expansys.co.uk.
Use PP0509 to get £5 off the price and they also offer £30 of vouchers you can use with them.
So in total, its £365 + P&P

I found it at device wire for £400 and it comes with a car charger, case and screen protector.
Also does anyone know if it comes with a mem card?

Cool, good spot. But to be honest, whats 2gb now? I'll just use my 8gb one that I had for my Touch Pro 2

Im going on holiday on 25th July, my wifes upgrade (with Orange) is due while we are away, I have shown her the Hero and I think with a bit of persuasion, she will go for it. Any chance we could have a few opinions when people get theirs in the UK. Cheers guys.

Yup, mines on pre-order, just waiting for it to come through. I'll give you a run down when I get it, but check out some of the videos on YouTube, theres loads and they just show how good it is.

---

When are you expecting delivery? Yeah, Ive seen some of the youtube videos, looks awesome.

---

Probably around the 23rd/24th hopefully, but knowing my look will be august some time.

---

Looks like most of the UK retailers have changed their 'expected' dates to early August, one even says 7th August. Shame.
