HTC Hero (Htc-hero-130-cr), A Grade, carrier returns
A Grade HTC Hero handsets listed under the SKU Htc-hero-130-cr as carrier returns A-stock, tested and graded by TG on receipt with light wear at most. The Hero is the first HTC Sense phone, so collectors and tech-history displays are the main buyers; exporters should confirm with your account manager whether the lot is the GSM or CDMA variant before committing.
The HTC Hero is HTC's mid-2009 Android phone and the first with the HTC Sense interface: a 3.2-inch 320 x 480 touchscreen, a 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7200A, 288 MB of RAM, a 5 MP autofocus camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, a trackball, a microSD slot, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. It was sold as a GSM/UMTS phone worldwide and as a CDMA version through Sprint and Cellular South in the US.
TG Wireless sells the Hero to collectors of early Sense-era Android hardware, prop departments, and parts buyers. This lot is listed by SKU only, so confirm the variant with your account manager.

Condition: A Grade
A Grade (A-Stock) units are lightly used, fully tested, and working, and may show very minor nicks or scratches. Units are supplied as graded; ask your account manager about packaging (original box, accessories, or handset only) when you request a quote.
Network and compatibility
The Hero exists as a GSM/UMTS 3G phone and as a CDMA phone for Sprint; neither has LTE. US carriers retired 3G and CDMA in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so no Hero gets US service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. GSM units can be exported to markets with live UMTS or GSM service; CDMA units are limited to collectors, props, Wi-Fi use, and parts.
Resale fit
- Collectors of first-generation HTC Sense hardware.
