Hero 2.1 Release Date Speculation Thread!

[thacounty]

I choose wait for Social Networking. Since my phone is slow and doesn't ring half the time and my text messages don't come through sometimes, social networking is definitely what I need to be waiting for.

Notrock you are correct, they can add friendstream as an update later.

Also, Athlet1c is right, its hard to believe when we get lied to all the time.

Being a 10 year vet of Sprint, and a 5 year vet of smartphones, I can tell you, they do tend to have "diarhea of the mouth". Hell, I'll believe it when it's in a ROM I can flash

and to quote a movie on the topic...
"Anyone else would have left you by now, but I'm sticking with you. And if I have to ride your @$$ like Zorro, you're gonna show me the money!"

Sprint came out and stated the update to 2.1 was going to be out "Early Q2". HTC is now coming out saying all Heros will be updated in March (late Q1). If Sprint is the one "testing" the software, how would HTC know when this will be released? Is Sprint really testing the software, or are they paying HTC to do it for them?

Sprint is not the only carrier in the world with Heroes.

HTC is releasing the 2.1 update for the international GSM version in March. Sprint is releasing it to their branded CDMA version in "early Q2."

This is the quote from the article I'm referring to:

Coming Next Month
HTC said this week that it will release the Android OS 2.1 upgrade for the HTC Hero at some point next month.
This promise includes all versions of the Hero, include the one offered by Verizon that has been re-branded the HTC Droid Eris.

I'm going with Sprint's estimate of early Q2, and will just assume the author used HTC's announcement about the GSM hero getting the upgrade in March as a blanket statement for all hero/eris models.

I'll put money on it that 2.1 won't be out in "early" Q2 (early being in the month of April) via OTA or official Sprint/HTC download.

Found this thread on xda. I'm sure most have seen it, but take it for what it's worth. Words on the internet. Hope so, though. The update could be about 2 weeks away!!! Moment to get the update 4 days later.
