2.1 is on the way. We will have it in a matter of months, if that. Be a little patient.
Oh and as for the "other carriers moving to 2.0 or 2.1," no other carrier has moved a 1.5 or 1.6 phone to 2.0 or 2.1. Chew on that for a while.

Jonnythan, do you work for Sprint???
I agree with some of what you said, but before I continue, lets clear this up. You and I aren't having a misunderstanding or disagreement, my disagreement as a paying customer is with Sprint.
As far as the Hero being on the back burner, that's just my opinion, you know as well as I do Sprint will move to the next best thing and will drop any upgrades or improvements of the Hero like they do all other phones. When the Touch Pro 2 was released, there was no mention of it, Why? because the Hero was the next big thing, the next Phone will be released and it will be the next big thing and the Hero will ahve no more mention. have you seen any commercials with the Hero mentioned lately from Sprint, no, because that marketing is done, they already have the Hero out i the market and they know the next big phone, most of us "Love the new gadget" guys will jump to that and its possible the Hero will still be on 1.5. Its what they do. The next hot phone they decide to introduce will have the same issues, late upgrades and behind on its current OS. All I'm saying is if we continue to buy the next HOT sprint phone and not make our voices heard, we'll continue to get the same results.
Again, this is not directed at anyone on the forum this is directed at Sprint, we all seem to want the same thing for sprint.
