Hero 2.1 Release Date Speculation Thread!

[princem131]

I'm sick of waiting and wish I could play wit some other phone while I wait like a pre or something but I cant drop several hundred to play especially when I know I'm gonna have to drop some serious bread whenever a snapdragon phone is released.

BTW... does HTC hate keyboards now?... I've gotta be honest I miss having the option of sliding my keyboard out... I wonder if there are any plans for snapdragon android devices with slide out qwerty. I'd like to see Supersonic/Nexus One specs but with a nice TP2 Keyboard, I'll deal with the added girth that would be the perfect phone for me assuming they continue the trend of sexiness and dont make a Mogul looking brick of crap! I like when they had the choice like TP vs Diamond same general phone just giving option between thin or kb. Either way first snapdragon android on sprint im all over it!

I wish they'd hurry up, too, but no other US carrier has released updates for their 1.5/1.6 devices either. The droid/droid eris/G1/MyTouch 3G still have not received updates to 2.X (the droid has 2.0, but was prematurely announced it would get 2.1 last week). I think we will find Sprint to be in the middle of the pack in updating the Hero/Moment. Even the GSM Hero won't get 2.1 until the end of March. I'm not seeing how Sprint is behind in updating their Android devices when the only phone on the market with 2.1 is the Nexus One.

So can we at least get 1.6 to access more android apps/basic services?

Theres just no reason for the Tmobile G1 to have newer software than me thats all I'm sayin lol

The scary part is that Sprint is considering in store upgrade... that is going to suck big time.

WTF you've got to be kidding me! We should be able to find the update and do it ourselves still right?

If that ever happens, I'll get a copy of it and make it available to you guys, don't worry.

that's funny. my buddy is on tmobile and he has the g1 and my touch pro was running a newer version of android than his android phone

I highly doubt it will be out in "early" 2Q. That would mean it would have to be put out in April. Cause in my book, anything past that isn't really early, now is it?

Could you imagine going to a corporate store and waiting for that. they already boast ! hour repair time waits for a small fail. Imagine fresh updates. Sorry But I smell a Disaster. What is great though it will be posted here faster than they could ever update
