And that date is?....

Edit: Nevermind saw it in another thread approx may 15... that sucks a$$

It wasnt that bad when there were only small differences but now 1.5 is getting very ancient. New apps keep coming out that require 1.6 and even 2.0 and above. At least toss us 2.0 or something til then I'll take 1.6.

I would take Vanilla 1.6 to tide me over until 2.1. This is getting rediculous. The carriers should have prepared for how rapidly this operating system evolves.

And the truth is we always have to wait forever for any updates..regardless of android or wm. even bb..on sprint..

If we didnt have sense on the hero would prolly be alittle sooner.. hopefully we will get some of the new stuff htc annouced for the updated sense ui..

oh well at least we pay less a month on sprint.. if i paid verizons prices.. i would be really pissed bout waiting for updates,lol I always find a positive on a negative..

I mean, granted, i am a third party retailer and pay $30 for 3000 minutes unlimited everything else and insurance, but it still rubs me the wrong way that the road block in recieving these updates is the company we pay monthly. Just my 2 pesos.

HTC takes the openness out of Android.

It never fails, as I've mentioned before the Hero is on the back burner for Sprint.
what will happen is there will either be a new phone released by Sprint before or immediately after the update. it never fails, Sprint will keep their current top notch phone's updates in the waiting while they prepare to release their newest phone. Think about this, the Touch Pro 2 was release just before the Hero and you never heard a word about the Touch Pro 2 being released. Once we get the Hero's 2.1 rom, the Hero will be old news and Sprint will have their next Android phone.

yea, its kinda sad when my old diamond can run a newer version of android than my Hero can. But May's not too bad for me. I just recently got the hero. So by time i get bored with what I have, 2.1 will be coming out. Then we can all complain about not getting a 3.0 update.

heh, have fun

We'll keep the light on for you. I am getting sick of the constant waiting game, I've had this phone since November. Oh well...I just have to keep geek mode off for now so I don't start getting any more grumpy. Heh, my friend has a g1 with the rev 2 OS and constantly reminds me of that fact. I want to shoot him with a 'tater launcher.
