Hero coming to Cox Cellular?

COX_RES_CMYK_copy.137200113_stdWith Cox planning a cellular service, geeks in potential markets have been guessing at what kind of devices can be expected if/when (the cable giant has had a bit of a bumpy ride getting into the cell game) the service finally launches.

Well, Android Central has plenty of evidence (hit the link for photos) to suggest that customers will see an HTC Hero that’s pretty much identical to Sprint’s version of the device. All that’s missing is Sprint’s brand.

AC cautions that this could be a network testing unit, but with a Cox boot screen and no Sprint logo, I find that scenario hard to swallow. It also should be mentioned that this phone was purchased on CraigsList for $230. It’s not rocking EV-DO (yet) but I’m going to join in and say that this looks legit.

Google Cox Pivot. It was a wireless program announced for Cox Cable roughly two years ago. I have been a Cox customer for almost 8 years now and the program initally partnered with Sprint. The program alllowed you to bundle wireless coverage with sprint for a discounted price. That being said, the Hero being a potential headset for the rumored wireless service is no surprise at all. Good on the fellow from Omaha from posting the video. Now, if Cox can HTC a primary handset vendor, they would be in business. I love my Incredible and don't anticipate changing phones or television/internet/landline providers in 2 years. Make it happen Cox.
