Ok guys, this has cropped up a few times in the forums so I think android1230 is right.
If you're using an Orange branded phone, please do not de-brand it
It seems that the OTA update includes a radio incompatible with orange branded phones, and it will reject your SIM card saying the phone is network locked (even if your SIM card is an orange one)
If you have already done this, please try reinstalling the orange 1.5 ROM using a goldcard the same way you installed the generic 1.5. Hopefully this should cure it.
EDIT: Not all Orange branded phones seem to be affected, but unless you're feeling lucky, and have enough time to re-brand the phone if necessary, I still wouldn't recommend it. You'd just be wasting your time if your phone wasn't compatible. (Plus you'd have factory reset your phone for nothing).
In process of debranding an Orange Hero and installing 2.1. FIngers/toes everything crossed. Will let u all know how I got along.
Would it be possible for you to try an Orange sim card in the phone?
If it comes up "Network Locked" that would prove that we can de brand and install the generic 2.1 ROM onto an Orange locked Hero, and use anything but an Orange sim afterwards
Cheers

does the app have to be written to be put on to the SD card as I seem to have run out of space again!!!
