Basically I'm wondering if HTC and/or having Sense UI prohibit you in any way from upgrading to the next version of Android? I keep hearing about Hero owners having to wait until who-knows-when to get the 2.1 upgrade. Is that because they have Sense? Couldn't they just shut off Sense and upgrade OTA directly from Google? Or are they waiting specifically for HTC to lay Sense on top of 2.1 and get HTC's version of the upgrade?
Frankly, Sense is cool and easy on the eyes, but when Android 2.5 or 3.0 come out, I'd rather have those and their functionality. So is there anything keeping me from upgrading to the next version of Android when using Sense? Can't I just turn off Sense and upgrade anytime I want?
