Yep, me too. I'm gonna definatly pounce on this phone first chance I get.
My buddy I work with has the Droid, great phone, but I am liking the Hero with it's lack of a hardware keyboard (smaller size) and the Sense UI.
He loves his Droid, but admitted he never uses the hardware keyboard. After my love/hate affair with my TP, I am ready to go hardware keyboard-less and have the benefit of a smaller, lighter thinner phone.
Bring on the Hero!
