It was supposed to be getting the Android update tomorrow April 16th but it seems now that that date has been put back for the European HTC Hero.
The Android 2.1 update for the European HTC Hero has been pushed back slightly and it is now expected to arrive by the end of April. It was reported that the Taiwanese company when asked about the update replied by indicating that the update will be pushed out over the air at the end of April.
This will make things easier for you and you wont have much to worry about. It is expected that this is for the European HTC Hero only but when you consider that the hardware isn’t that different we would hope that the global update wont be too far away.
HTC have commented that some of the phones in their Android line up including the Hero are due to receive an upgrade, and it is scheduled to be released starting at the end of April. The phone should be upgraded over the air. When the upgrade is ready we will notify you via our website and on various social media networks including both Facebook and Twitter.
