Fits in with the mid-feb prediction!

Would a software update to an existing phone really be tied in with a press event?

My thoughts exactly.

 

[lekky]

It says they will be releasing new devices and innovations. I didn't mean the event would just be for an update, but I wouldn't be surprised if they announced it then...

And why wouldn't it be tied into a press event? They announce new phones, and Sense running on 2.1? Thats more than a simple phone update.

Lekky I really want to believe it, but have they ever been known to announce something like this before at a press event?

 

[mbell75]

Hopefully part of the announcements will include the confirmation of the Supersonic coming to Sprint this summer

Maybe its for the rumoured HTC-Android tablet?

It could be all number of things but I don't think that it is related to Hero 2.1

 

[G8D]

I don't see why they wouldn't tie it in.

"Here is out projected product range for H1 of 2010, each Android model you see here is shipped with our own custom baked 2.1 Sense enabled Android OS which we CAN confirm is scheduled to be released for the Hero this coming week."
<insert video demo of any major changes here>


Easy, you see?

And that quote is from?

From his own head, I think... it's more about how it could be done than how it has been done.

Android 2.1 For Hero within a few days - Meteor talk to us

Hi,

Just got another update on this and HTC have said they are releasing 2.1 on the Hero and we are hoping to have this availible by the end of March.

This will be available via the HTC website and we are also looking at other ways to make this update easier to access for our customers. As soon as I hear any more on this I'll let you all now becuase I know the release of 2.1 is something that everyone is looking forward to.

Thanks

Glynn

Sorry for not realising - novel way of hypothesising, but not helpful in this sea of false rumours

By the end of March.
Are HTC having a laugh.
I shall be sticking with the android platform but i do know my next phone wont be a HTC.

Ive never known a company that keeps on putting out rumours of updates via twitter that come to nothing.

For those that are new to the phone im talking about 1.6 2.0 and now 2.1 if it ever happens.

Yeah I was just addressing the confusing surrounding the whole "why would they throw a conference for that alone" etc.

Sorry to confuse even further

I think that's extremely unfair. 1.6 2.0 and 2.1 all came in quick succession. And it's not like HTC have an obligation to update your handset so you can't really bitch about it. I wouldn't say they put out rumours either, they give as much information as they can and they update their customers a lot more than most companies do.
Personally I think HTC are awesome

Meteor is a mobile operator probably selling branded (=software customized for the operator) Hero. HTC usually makes the new software for the unbranded version first, then for the branded ones.

by the way guys, i am on orange..once HTC release 2.1 should i get that rom? or wait until they release the orange version like they did with the latest update?

whats the difference/problems if i get the htc one and dont wait for the orange specific update?

 

[Xyro]

I'm pretty sure trying to install the unbranded firmware onto a branded phone won't work; you get a 'Customer ID' error. So you're stuck untill your network release theirs.

As far as I know, the WWE version won't install on your Orange at all (unless you have rooted) so you won't have the option

Hopefully that nice man Paul will cook up a tasty MoDaCo custom one for us before this though

 

[capuman]

well with the last update, the orange version was released a week after the HTC update. MAybe this time it will be just as fast.

 

[scaz]

I'm still stuck on version 1.5 and i bought it from Three Uk pay go with contract sim in. Tried too root with MoDaCo but not happening on Three Network is this about right or am I doing something wrong.

 

[jimeller]

We are all still stuck on 1.5
