+1 on that!

nice to see,that the european version was the first one out,and the last one to get the update.if it's getting it...]]>May 19th 2010 7:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/sprints-hero-finally-gets-official-android-2-1-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/sprints-hero-finally-gets-official-android-2-1-upgrade/
Yea I know. This is a piss take. I love Android and my Hero (SlideVillain) is a great phone, but if HTC continue do this with the Desire then that's it. I'll go elsewhere for my Android phones.

The fact that 2.2 (which is a massive update) will probably be out before GSM Hero non-rooters see 2.1 is an absolute joke on HTC's part.

If they could spruce up Sense for a load of other similar spec phones in quick-time why not the Hero? Do they bury their heads in the sand when they get all this negative feedback? Surely they must have caught on with all the 'when is the hero getting 2.1' support emails they've been receiving...ok I'm getting pissed-off now

Its not necessarily the carriers who are entirely at fault. When a new version of Android is released, carriers who use custom skins like HTC's SenseUI need to port that skin and all its custom widgets and apps to the new version of Android and then test everything.]]>May 19th 2010 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/sprints-hero-finally-gets-official-android-2-1-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/sprints-hero-finally-gets-official-android-2-1-upgrade/

I don't think live wallpapers are included here, either (need to apply fix for that to stick on rooted ROMs, which kills navigation animation).

I'm not even going to bother. I've been running Fresh 2.0d & am getting the EVO in 2 wks. Not worth the time or effort of maybe losing root & resetting up for only 2 wks. ]]>May 19th 2010 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/sprints-hero-finally-gets-official-android-2-1-upgrade/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/19/sprints-hero-finally-gets-official-android-2-1-upgrade/May 19th 2010 9:11AM
