Re: Andrid Version?

Really ?, given that 2.1 is already out wouldn't they have that on a new phone (no big deal I know I could just download, but that process does scare some people )

depends on when it actually shipped out of the factory, if you get one that's left the factory since the update, it would have the newest software, however they're not going to pull all the units out of warehouses and stores just to run updates on all of them, they'll leave it to the customer at that point, unless you get a decent rep that'll do it for you
working for radioshack i don't technically have the ability but i usually have my laptop with me so the last Hero i sold i ran the upgrade for the customer before they even touched the phone for the first time

Froyo is actually version number 2.2 and HTC has said most of their line up from this year will receive the update however the Hero is late 2009 model so my guess is, they won't officially update it but you can bet on an "aftermarket" rom to show up here

Re: Andrid Version?

I just got the Hero last Tuesday and it had 2.1 on it out of the box. It did not have the patch that breaks root.

Tuesday night I rooted it and installed the fresh rom then put it on my account.
