The Hero is all but confirmed to debut on Sprint.

Cross another rumor off the list.

In a report by Engadget, it appears as though HTC’s Hero is in fact coming to Sprint. This of course should be the conclusion to the rumors last week that had the Google Android based smartphone heading to the service provider on October 11th.

While the evidence was clearly there, it takes something more substantial to completely be convinced that a rumor, especially in the tech world, is true.

And that evidence has apparently been found today.

In a screenshot from HTC’s Support Site, there is a clear as day picture of the HTC Hero under the Product Support tab. While they can’t reveal the exact URL, they have seen it, it exists and it’s just up to Sprint or HTC to confirm the Hero’s arrival.

It also should be mentioned that there is speculation that the Hero will be locked into an exclusivity contract with Sprint for the time being. If that’s true, it is great news for the United States’ third largest service provider who also has exclusive rights to the Palm Pre at least until January.

This also follows the next that HTC will be releasing their Touch Pro2 on T-Mobile next Wednesday.

Look for some sort of official announcement in the coming weeks now that the word is out.
