I also asked whether unlocking the phone would void my warranty and was glad to hear that it would not void my warranty and also it would not void my warranty if i tried to install any official HTC firmware to the phone after i had unlocked it. The lady did say that it might cause problems with the orange software, however it still would not void my warranty.
I dont know if there is a way to apply the official update once unlocked as im a total noob in this field so if anyones knows that would be a great help. Thanks.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to what Orange have told you about the phone warranty. The Orange branded HTC Hero mobile phone comes with a manufacturers warranty - HTC. If you have the Orange phone insurance then it may be a different story. Just think of the scenario if you had problems with your hero after rooting it and it was still under warranty, you contact orange, they say warranties nothing to do with us get in touch with HTC. Your then bounced back and fore from one company to another. Sounds like the situation we're currently in with the 2.1 update?
Orange could give the Brothers Grimm a run for there money with some of the fairy tales they come up with.
