*Drool*

Garbage, imo heh.

It's the only article I've seen that states this. Sprint themselves said 1h 2010... so I guess well see eh

 

[romeosidvicious]

I am the rain on the parade. That article is from December 4th which is before Sprint and HTC said anything and cites no sources. Ain't happening. I am hoping for January but not holding my breath. It won't be here this month for sure.

 

[AmericanHero]

Just found the date. That pretty much sums it up. Sorry, I should have seen that.

I lol'd at the last comment...

No credible source says:

The Hero update is coming out today!
December 16, 6:49 AM

Yep guys comments about what isn't working on the leaked version are not up to date. The last time I checked at xda this was their list of not working:

"What doesn't work (in the currently available download) :
- Accelerometer
- Camera
- Visual voicemail"

Also, I thought the official Sprint update notice only mentioned 2.0, not 2.1. Is that true? They won't be going to 2.1?

I'm still waiting for the Sprint patch that will make our screen 4". The guy from the Sprint store said it will be an OTA. He seemed very trustworthy.

Wow Thanks,

I totally would take you up on that offer, but I just cleared out our savings to buy a bridge in NYC and a domesticated Chupacabra. My wife is going to think this is the best Christmas ever.

 

[BOO5TED]

Man, I've been looking for a chupacabra. They are sure hard to come by.

Are they any good to eat?

 

[BOO5TED]

Meh, needs garlic.

Actually I heard the pending end of the world (2012) was rescheduled to this coming January 1st because of an Android Glitch detected which resets everyone's clocks to 2012 at the stroke of midnight this New Year's Eve! Rumor has it the Mayan's knew of this Time Warp 1,500 years ago and there have been pictures taken of the evidence revealed on a Mayan Pyramid recently unearthed. The Mexican Gov't is keeping things tight and won't release any information. The Pictures have been kept in an Uber Secret Location, but a leak has noted there's a secret Door just (51) steps from the Presidential Palace in Mexico City, nobody knows why it's there!?!?

The little known glitch was detected hidden deep within the Android OS and is feverishly being worked on to decipher and see if there is an "out" clause or a way to stop all the clocks and save the world!

Android (Google), HTC and Sprint are all mum on whether or not they will be able to get 2.x out to us prior to the pending Apocalypse and appease the mountain of worried minds!



hahahaha...
I just couldn't resist!

So when we get our 2.1 update in "early 2010" (which I take to mean late March, at earliest), do you guys think 2.5 will have been released for the rest of the Android world by then?

of course, but that's when you're 'posed to drop $600+ on the device with 2.5 remember?

Add a gimmicky feature & I'd probably be tempted, knowing me

lol yeah same here.
my gf seen me browsing through some nexus one stuff.. "you just got the hero 2 months ago, if you get another new phone then I'm buying a new tv - you hear me? the screen on your hero is big enough!"

ah... ok babe.

 

[Droidone]

yeah girls don't understand. I was out to lunch with my ex....don't ask... and she saw my phone and said, man you always have a new toy. Funny thing is when I showed her what it could do, she wanted it.

Hehe.. My GF finally picked up my phone and actually played with it for about an hour a few weeks ago now. She hated it. I think the only thing she really didnt like about it was no hardware keyboard. She had a hell of a time typing on the screen with her nails.

TBH I hope she just sticks with dumb phones, she's not very tech inclined what so ever and providing constant support for her phone would just kill me.
