I'm pretty into the android scene (worked on the blur rom for the g1), so if you guys want some more android insight, check out my twitter:

HTC only directly supports Magics that it sold directly, which isn't very many of them. If you bought yours from a carrier, then it's your carrier's job to support it with updates (generally by contracting that work back down to HTC behind the scenes).

If you do have a Magic purchased directly from HTC, then you've got a Sense update coming sooner or later, but I thought it was already out in certain parts of the world.]]>Dec 1st 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/htc-hero-gets-a-leaked-android-2-1-rom-with-sense/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/htc-hero-gets-a-leaked-android-2-1-rom-with-sense/

You'd probably be better off waiting for Sprint to release their version of the update. With the Droid getting so much press, I'm sure they'll be in a hurry to play catch-up to get Google Maps Navigation support.

If you don't have that kind of patience, head down to xda-developers.com, find the forum for the Hero, and carefully read as much of the forum as you can until you start to figure stuff out. If you just bust in there and start asking questions you'll be ignored, since people ask the same questions every single day, but a few good searches and some random browsing around should get you up to speed in an hour or two.]]>Dec 1st 2009 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/htc-hero-gets-a-leaked-android-2-1-rom-with-sense/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/htc-hero-gets-a-leaked-android-2-1-rom-with-sense/
