We’ve been asked not to reveal the URLs, but we can guarantee you we’ve seen that official support screen pictured above with our own two eyes, which means that the HTC Hero is all but confirmed in a juicy CDMA blend for Sprint. How (or if) that’ll affect the availability of the US 3G version unlocked or on any carrier is unclear, but given Hesse’s huffy language regarding Pre exclusivity, we wouldn’t be surprised whether they’ve got that one locked down for a while as well. We’ve seen a similar support page for an Alltel-branded Snap, so whether you’re still tied up in one of the carrier’s legacy divested markets and you’ve been pining after the Snap (and Ozone) on Sprint and Verizon, fear not — your own version is on the way. We’ll confess, whether you had asked us a few months back what American carrier would get HTC’s highest-end Android phone to term, Sprint wouldn’t have been our first guess — but hey, good for them. whether you can’t win the coverage battle against the Big Red juggernaut, may as well try to win the exclusive hardware battle, right?

[Thanks, Adam]
