Continuing our previous post, Sprint has confirmed that HTC Hero will also get an Android 2.1 update coming in early Q2. And according to a follow-up tweet, OTA vs. PC-based or in-store upgrades are "still TBD upgrade options" for both the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment.
According to the recently published PR, owners of the HTC Hero will receive an official Android 2.1 update with Sense in "mid March". The update will also feature a new Friend Stream widget that aggregates user updates across services, tweaked Exchange support, and some other goodies. We can't tell you whether it will be available globally though.
Introducing the Hero C7000, a new Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 knock-off. It's not a clone however as it comes with a 3" touchscreen (4" on original) and an UI very similar to what BlackBerry Storm series handsets offer. Ain't it cool? And the best thing about this handset is the price, of cource, which is just a small fraction of the X10's price tag.
The build is in its early stages, some functions are missing, like Wi-Fi, though you can still make phone calls and receive text messages. We suggest you to wait for a proper build and not risk bricking your handset.Hit the source link for more details.
HTC has issued a firmware update for its Hero smartphone (GSM). We don't know what's included in the latest build v2.73.771.73 (H3G), as the company didn't provide a changelog, but your're welcome to try it out.
There's a leaked Android 2.1 ROM with Sense UI for the HTC Hero currently up on XDA-developers forums. The installation process seems to be pretty straightforward, but be sure to backup your data before you proceed with the update.
HTC Hero users on Sprint can download an over-the-air maintenance update for thier device. The update includes some bug fixes, but doesn't update the system beyond Android 1.5. So if you use a custom Android build, just ignore this post.
