[MRaximus]

YAY!!! Just confirming that Android 2.1 is out (downloading in Serbia) on a unbranded phone! I took the advice above and set the date forth one year.

Good luck all!

Not sure about who gets what. Trying to follow the news on twitter. Still, Mark Moons, CEO HTC BENELUX, said that for example Heros from the Belgian carrier MOBISTAR still had to wait for an update...

Nothing on Orange UK yet, but then, did we really expect it

 

[mclemme]

Denmark is a GO as well, my Hero is updating now

 

[ticho]

Slovak Heroes (unbranded) are also seeing this upgrade. I think it is safe to assume that the entire Europe is in. Have fun!

 

[eddysd]

COME ON ORANGE!!!! I really hope we dont have to end up waiting another month just for being on orange, hopefully that timetable is correct though, and tomorrow is our day!

 

[MR_COATES]

Bloody hell I think all the air just got sucked out of Europe with the excitement!

DOWNLOADING NOW!!!!!

 

[ticho]

Indeed, I'm waiting for first success stories and/or error reports, but looks like everyone has their hands and eyes glued to their download progress bars. Including me, of course.

 

[mclemme]

Seems like it does not delete everything, mine still has my:

• Twitter account
• SMSes
• Facebook account
• HTC mail acounts (+ mails)
• Gmail account
• Apps from market
• Contacts

The widgets on the homescreens are gone though, but I can live with that

 

[Myth]

yup can confirm all data still there apart from a fresh home screen again, its snappy but my only problem is the heat that its now generating from the back and all my facebook friends are now in my contacts list and everythings all confuzzled. other than that am so bloody happy now feels like a new phone i do feel sorry for those branded and still waiting, hopefully not left for you guys.

It's not fair how long anybody's had to wait, but you can't whine that it's taking longer for Orange to update their add-on software; that's kind of to be expected, you should've known that when they subsidized your handset.

LOL, mine just restarted, with an hTC screen saying 'quietly brilliant', oh the irony; quiet for months sure, let's see how brilliant... but I doubt it's gonna be so brilliant to warrant the wait.

 

[mclemme]

Some screens of the update process, etc.

 

[MR_COATES]

Proper happy with the amount of data that's still on the phone.

Contacts, Messages even Internet Bookmarks.
