Well, lol, 2Q 2010 is still technically 1H 2010 Just tryin to be the smarty pants little redneck I am an bring a little humor to the situation....Folks, I know people are gettin upset about the update, but hey, lets face the fact that its gonna be out when all (well most) of the bugs are worked out of the whole thing....and personally, i wouldn't expect anything less of a product. I applaud HTC and Sprint in their efforts to try an provide us the consumer with a stable and operable product. Just my two cents

Sprint Hero update delayed again??

By Blake Stimac on Thursday, May 6th, 2010 at 6:51 PM PST In Android, HTC, Sprint




The Sprint Hero has been aching for the Android 2.1 update for sometime now. As with the Droid Eris, the Hero is still stuck on Android 1.5, and from what we’re hearing now, they still may be stuck a little longer.
The latest rumor pegged the Android 2.1 update to hit Sprint (NYSE: S) Heros in force on May 7th. Someone managed to snap a photo of an internal Best Buy document that does indeed indicate that the Sprint Hero should be receiving the update on the 7th. Sounds believable enough, right? Sure. Unfortunately, we’re one day away from May 7 and we’re now hearing that the Sense-ified Android 2.1 update will be delayed yet again..
On the Sprint community forums, the person who had found the picture posted it in a thread for all to see. Some were excited to see the picture, yet many remained skeptical. Nevertheless, the rumor was snubbed out by Sprint’s forum Admin, who closed the thread, but not before saying,”Closing this thread because I don’t want folks to think that 2.1 is coming out on the 7th.” Well shit. Can these guys get a break already?
I must say, if the Evo 4G launches and the Sprint HTC Hero is still without Android 2.1, I would go into a Sprint store and raise some hell.
But it’s not all Sprint’s fault. HTC is behind the software, and they have recently come out with a public statement apologizing to customers for the delay of Sense UI updates. That’s understandable enough, but that still doesn’t take away from the fact that HTC is taking so long in getting the Android 2.1 OS update rolled out to once-flagship Android phones that most deserve the update.
So, Hero users, how much longer are you willing to wait for your update? Or are you just gonna say screw it and get an Evo 4G instead?

All,
I've merged all the threads that are discussing potential release dates for 2.1 on the Hero. Please post in this thread only when discussing potential release dates.

Thanks for your understanding

Another release disappointment.

I'm excited for the update. I'm just confused why everyone is so Mad. I mean its just a software update. I'd like to see a list of greivances. If you beleive you were promised something, thats fine, but do you really think they're holding out on you? Why?

What would the point be. I take the Blizzard Entertainment stance. The Patch will be done when its done.
