Some people are saying how android is going to be fragmented and be like windows mobile, but Winnows mobile devices rarely got updates.

We will definitely see HTC and Motorola speed up their upgrade process in the future, and hopefully this fragmentation nonsence talk will go away.

Nor mine. You would think a "google experience" phone would get updated pretty quickly.

I have played around with the legend it really doesn't bring much more to the sense+hero experience. Since the only new things are Friendstream and the panel view.

There are no live wallpapers, no fancy nexus like appdraver. Mostly bug fixes.]]>Mar 26th 2010 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/
That's fine though! That's all I really need as an update. Bug fixes and a supposed speed increase.

Can anybody confirm the speed increase in the Hero in 2.1?]]>Mar 26th 2010 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/Mar 26th 2010 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/They've been busy fighting off Apple

All I got from HTC fanboys was that the company never promised to give me updates, so I am lucky to get any at all.

but it seems to me that after only 3 months you expected a jump from 1.5-2.1 thats kinda overkill. Think about this apple gives you 1 major revision a year wimo and palm are up in the air all the time about updates. Android has been out two full years now and every phone has been updated(or one in the works) and you have a problem with that. Before i got my hero i had an envy that looked the same for 2 years and now i have a phone where i can literally customize and edit everything to my liking, how many phones can do that?]]>Mar 26th 2010 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/26/htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-on-april-26th-in-home-country-of/
