Sprint Hero and Donut 1.6

Got my Hero from Best Buy and looked and saw the Firmware version was 1.5

I tried a SYSTEM UPDATE for Firmware but it said none was found.
I did a bit of googling and saw a mention that you it was OTA or you could do the system update.

What gives? Anyone else get theirs to 1.6? Is the Sprint Hero able to run Donut?


Ahhh!

So are you saying they have the update and will do it or is this just a general statement?

Re: Sprint Hero and Donut 1.6

i think 1.6 went out gradually (to ease server load is the only reason i can think of why) but i saw several mytouch3Gs and G1s get updates on different days so maybe its coming

Re: Sprint Hero and Donut 1.6

I've got so much to learn with this, its like when I first got my Touch/Vogue. I am completely lost. What does the 1.6 update offer that 1.5 doesn't have?
