That's for the GSM Hero, not the CDMA Sprint Hero.
Like I stated in a previous post I could honestly care less at this point when 2.1 becomes available cuz like the poster above said it's gonna be filled with sh*t apps that hardly any of us want bogging down our phones so why is everyone so excited I don't know. Other than native CDMA support and access to additional market apps 2.1 is mostly a UI polish with some flare here(camera app slightly better) and there. I've rooted and i love it and may not even reflash stock to upgrade to 2.1

Don't forget that 2.1 will also give you access to a few applications that 1.5 users are now missing out on.
I dunno I use 2 of the Sprint apps a lot: Navigation and NFL... free NFL network games? Home-station radio broadcasts of all games? Pretty good for "bloatware".
Everyone should be more concerned about the restrictive practices of the Cellular Carriers and their continued anti-trust and restraint of trade practices...
The new Google Maps app with naviGoogle Goggles springs to mind...

Not trying to flame you or anybody with this, but most people don't realize or pay any attention to the fact that these phones we have are a mere convienence. You don't NEED a cell phone. You don't NEED cellular service and you don't NEED the latest OS on your mobile device.
What did people do 40 years ago when cell phones weren't even an idea yet?
Believe me, I love the convienences my phone provides me, along with the games for entertainment and the "wow" factor I have when showing it off to someone still using a flip-phone from 2002.
Does it help you perform you job better? Does it make getting help in an emergency much easier? Of course it does.
But I'm sure you would find a way to live without it.
Erm....maybe not....sadly.
Yeah, we pay good money for these services and expect things to work to our likings. But seriously, we aren't guaranteed anything in life (except death and taxes).
Reminds me of a doomsday situation where most people would die because they don't even know how to start a fire with sticks. Or how to snare a rabbit for food. Or build a lean-two for shelter.
We've become so dependent on this technology that I almost can't wait for the day of iRobot to come for real so they can tell us how we should live to protect ourselves, from ourselvs.

Sorry. I appreciate all the techies out there making things easier and cooler for me, and the following they have. But I actually do things outside of the cellphone world.
Hope I didn't offend anyone. Apologies in advance if I did.

Its not Sprints fault, its Googles' Fault. There is no way Google is going to release 2.1 to any other devises until they sell 1 billion Nexus Ones. This is in the Android contact negotiations and was chiseled in stone a long time ago by some guy with a huge beard.
