Anyone feel like politely asking if there's a particular date in mind (presumable 15th March, but worth asking if anyone's got a twitter account) Check the Sprint thread, the Nordic HTC boss has said around april for the EU HTC Hero...basicly by the time the Legend/Desire hit the streets!

Guest chaosthebomb Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Bummer for the Canadians. Doesn't really affect the canadians using custom roms. I can't wait for modaco to be based off 2.1 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b1ck132 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Come on, is that a joke? Who needs 2.1 on a Hero @ April, when Legend and Desire is out? This might be one customer lost for HTC, since I have been thinking of holding on a 2.1 ROM till Legend is released, and then jump on Legend, but if I am supposed to wait 2.5 more months, I can rather go on a Milestone, and keep it for a good while. I just want advanced bluetooth capabilities, and no, the custom 2.1 ROMs didn't work well for me, MCR 3.2 is way more stable then them. It's so sad, that HTC released a new Sense 2.5 ROM for TP2, 2 weeks after I sold it, and now, I'm stuck with a 1.5 Hero. /end rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pulser Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Just a FWIW, but T-Mobile has announced an update coming April for the G2 (their Hero) at http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/...6d76e2ac5007f9f More details to follow. Sounds like they might be more proactive this time and not deny all knowledge (not that it will matter since practically everyone here uses custom ROM anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dipje Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 there was already numerous posts just a little over a week ago about an official HTC press statement, giving 15 feb for the Pink Hero in the Netherlands and the 2.1 update 'around march'.

Guest khtse Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Come on, is that a joke? Who needs 2.1 on a Hero @ April, when Legend and Desire is out? Err.. those who own a Hero?

Guest Naruc Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Err.. those who own a Hero? Especially those who don't buy a few phones a year? Yeah, you know awerage joe with better stuff and more important stuff to waste money on than a s*** expencive phone every Quarter... Alot of grown up phone users have kids, house famely to use moeny on, and for us its actualty damn nice to get HTC hero with 2.1 rom since we do have better things than throwing money out the window on a new phone every 3rd month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheAshMan Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 HTC sure know how to take the mick. The updates probably ready, they just don't want to ruin sales of the Legend release which probably has a VERY similar ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Don/Donald/Donnie Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 These tweets coming out are part re-runs of previous tweets as far as I can tell. On December 17th the HTC twit tweeted "Anybody notice the clarification from @sprint? Hero on Sprint will not be getting 2.0...it will get 2.1 :D" (link to twitter status page). I know the Sprint Hero is different in many ways to the GSM Hero but isn't this old news (and therefore not really news at all)? I'm sure there were other "official" announcements that the Hero was getting 2.1 already but I can't find any right now (maybe I was delusional). Just get it out and stop fannying around HTC, please. You're making yourselves look like a joke (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest masterpfa Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Yeah I have noticed that who ever does the HTC twitter updates is very good at giving out old news. Twitter is great for community news i.e new custom ROMS etc., companies like HTC should be making an Official announcements on their web page not on Twitter :D I'll continue to ignore leaked announcements and wait until the "New ROM available" on the HTC site or T-Mobile Has anyone else noticed the release date is being pushed back almost every month, from a December release, to February to March and now April. :D :lol: Hence why I concentrate on the Custom ROM communities so much more fun! :lol: Edited February 17, 2010 by masterpfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Naruc said, some of us cant go buying a new phone every 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Really, I like my Hero and the specs of a Legend don't sound that awesome that I'd really had to buy it. The only thing that really tops the Hero is the faster processor, but wow, I guess the Hero is doing pretty well. I'm looking forward to 2.1. When Bluetooth does finally work as expected, I'm absolutely happy. Who cares about Legend and Desire? I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
