I read online that the sprint 2.1 update will not be over the air. They said its too big for them to update over the network, so it will.be for download on their website and updated via usb.

I can officially (no, really) state that it is NOT going on Friday, May 7 2010.

When is it going? Sorry, no one has that information for publication.

I can confirm that we are continuing to test the 2.1 build for both Hero and Moment and we are committed to delivering the update in the first half of 2010.

(per EP @ sprint)

^^^^^^ then go right ahead! No one is stopping you! No one can remember the official release statement so ill post it again, 1H 2010. Can't get any simpler than that. Everything that's been stated as an 'official' release date have come from employees from tin buck tu. Wait for sprints official announcement before bickering its HTC/sprints fail. If you look at a calendar and split it into 2 halves guess which half we are in...still? Thank you, I rest my case. Though if you are willing, root and Rom! My 60 year old dad did!

Not to nitpick, but you can't seem to remember the official release statement either:

"Android update! Upgrades to 2.1 for Hero/Moment now expected early 2Q10. Currently working through options for upgrades w/ HTC and Samsung."

There's a big difference between "1h 2010" and "early 2Q10"....and that's why folks are getting a bit ansy.
