Guys, today's the day
I just clicked the check for updates button on my hero... and it's here
IT HAS FINALLY ARRIVEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!
Gonna do the update, will be back in a few as soon as it finishes to comment. But first, I'm gonna backup my SD card. You never know
EDIT: okay, here's my experience. The download and update go relatively fast. First boot takes some time, and immediately after the input of the PIN code I was greeted with a force close
nevermind, entered my pin again and it started loading, counting percents until it reached 100. If you have Astrid installed and some overdue tasks in it, your phone will buzz and make noise to remind you about that (don't be alarmed
).
After that and some time, it loaded. My oh my. Never ever have homescreen changes been so snappy and smooth! Pinch-selection of homescreens works fast and snappy. Of course, the homescreens are reset and you have to set them up all over again, but so far it works great!
Oh, and mad props to HTC for not wiping the phone completely
all apps and messages saved
Off I go to investigate it!
