being that I have an unrooted hero, would it be best to wait for the official update? I heard you cant update a rooted phone...also, forgive my ignorance but what really, am I going to be gaining from either update (fresh or official) what things can they do that the stock hero can't right now...I know, I know ...noob, moob, call me whatever put can someone direct me to the answers to these questions?

You can update and re-root... pretty easy

Or do like me and wait until Flipz puts out a new Fresh rom based off the official Sprint 2.1 ROM.

Well, It's official the update has been pushed back. Here's the link

I think there needs to be a date in the first place for it to be pushed back

This is about the most official response we've ever got. I personally welcome our new cryptic blurry screenshot posting of vague timeframe overlords.

its not pushed back, its still on track for the "early Q2" period sprint mentioned a while back.

Looks like my original guess of before May 15th is looking more and more like the actual release date.

I could care less for 2.1 now, im getting myself an HTC EVO 4G when it comes out.
