UK/ 3 users: Hero 2.x update availability question

[jsp_1983]

I've had my Hero for a few days now and am wondering about the update to 2.x. I'm on 3, who supplied the phone, so my question is - will I be able to update my Hero via the HTC site when it's made available, or will I be held to ransom by 3 and have to wait for them to offer their own version of an update?

(I didn't post this in the 3 forum, because nobody appears to read or post in it)

I'm with orange and I have to wait for them.
So I would imagine it would be the same with three.

I'm with tmobile and like the last update you have to wait a little longer for them to release their version, hopefully not as long this time but I shall be waiting patiently for it.

Is there any way I can 'ditch' my Hero's dependency on 3? I don't like the idea of being tied to them for updates and all that (had that problem with my N95).

When it gets released I'm sure there will be custom roms so you can get it that way
