@Sprint @Sprintcare Any ETA about the Sprint HTC Hero getting an Android 2.x update?

I just removed HTC since they've responded (with a "non-answer") already.

@Sprintcare answered but still "mum's the word", they do however say to check their forums for updates. http://community.sprint.com/baw/index.jspa

I can vouch for it being somewhat useful.... After all, this is the place where we found out about the MR update a week ahead.

They're most likely not going to say anything like always. They're always last to release everything.

It is just aggravating that Verizon got the Eris after Sprint's Hero and it more than likely will get 2.1 before Sprint does.. No matter how much we twitter about it we will just keep getting stonewalled about the subject. They are just saying we will get it when we do, no updates as usual.

sigh... probably we'll get it last because sprint is poor company that's barely surviving..

I dont want to sound lie a tard, but I spoke with a tech at HTC and he confirmed the the Eclair would be for the Sprint Hero.... Just quoting here...

Sprint finally confirmed:

Happy to announce Android 2.0 is coming to Sprint’s Hero & Moment. Date TBD, but roughly 1H 2010.
