Cellular South Hero 2.0 Update?

[osli]

Since we don't have a specific forum for the Cellular South HTC Hero, I'm asking here. Has anyone heard a peep from Cellular South about the 2.0+ update? HTC and Sprint have both been slipping some tweets out just to let people know they won't have to wait forever.

The Cellular South version looks just like the Sprint version. I think the hardware is identical. I know that HTC has to update SenseUI before it goes on to Sprint, and Sprint apparently has a lot of their junk installed on the phone. Cellular South seems to have less junk... more stock HTC stuff, and just a customer support text app that seems to be Cellular South specific. But I haven't heard anything about them releasing the update specifically, and the people in local stores I've spoken to are morons.

. . . . and the people in local stores I've spoken to are morons.

It's amazing how they multiply --- they're everywhere.

I was told by a very reliable source that yes we are getting the update soon. CS is always at least a month or so behind everyone else is both device launches and updates. We should not be left behind for too long...

Last I heard was June or July 2010.

I really hope it comes out faster than that.

will this be an automatic update (as where the phone will update auto) or do you have to download something.. and will the 2.0 update fix the mms?

I texted the Discover Center from my Cell South Hero with this very question last week, and a lady texted me back and said and i quote: "We have been told that the update should be released by the end of June." That being said, i doubt this means much for Sprint customers, as i expect Sprint to roll out the update sooner because it is a much larger company.

will it be an automatic update and will it fix the mms problem

I am told by CellularSouth that this will not be an automatic update and will probably require wiping the device.
