Amazon UK currently has the HTC Hero available for pre-order. It comes unlocked for the low, low price *sarcasm* of £429.99 which is roughly equivalent to $710. It's hardly a deal but if you want to purchase it unlocked without a contract, this might be a half-way decent option. Amazon UK has the target release date at July 15th, 2009 which is actually not too far away. Obviously, the date isn't set in stone but it does give you something to think about...
Anyone jumping the gun and pre-ordering the HTC Hero?
