The HTC Hero will be the next lucky phone to receive the Android 2.1 official ROM Update. It will most probably arrive available by April 2010. There are a few leaked 2.1 ROM’s that are available in the XDA devs forum and HTCPedia, which seems to be very fast and stable.
The information was passed on to a XDA Modaco member and re-posted by a XDA member, when questioned about the latest firmware for HTC Hero. (emphasis added by me)
Thank you for your enquiry about htc hero.
Some of the phones in our Android line up including your Hero are due to receive an upgrade, and it is scheduled to be released starting at the end of April. Your phone should be upgraded Over-The-Air. You can expect a pop-up message on your phone when connected to the internet once it is ready. When the upgrade is ready, we will notify you via our website and on various social media networks including Twitter and Face book.
