I live in an area where 3g is not avalible. We have the edge network. I bought my G1 in August of last year and they promised that 3g was coming out this year. But still no 3g coverage from T-mobile. At&t have it here and so does Verison. I am not under any contract so I could switch if I wonted to. But I like T-mobile because of there lower payments. I feel like they should atleast have have all of the features they promise out before they sell a product. ( can not use You Tube and no flash for video).

My oh my. Have it occurred to you guys that they can’t just release it if they have problems getting it stable?

Hm. Does this remind anyone of the whole symbian firmware update which never happend for 5800XM. But unlike my old Nokia 5800XM I can live with this but on the other hand HTC have gone back on their word.

HTC will apparently the launch the Android 2.1 for the HTC Hero by the end of March, according to a representative of Irish mobile operator, Meteor. Glynn from the website forum said the following:

“Just got another update on this and HTC have said they are releasing 2.1 on the Hero and we are hoping to have this available by the end of March.

This will be available via the HTC website and we are also looking at other ways to make this update easier to access for our customers. As soon as I hear any more on this I’ll let you all now because I know the release of 2.1 is something that everyone is looking forward to.”

This is BS I am having difficulties with my HTC Hero and I can not get anybody to fix this sh!&. I’m having problems with the bluetooth, sending and receiving pictures messages. I hate the file size limit when I’m trying to send a pic. I only receive pic messages when the damn phone feels like it. I hope this new update gets it fixed and gets here soon or I might be tempted to stomp on this phone.

So where is the Hero update? HTC announced this in OCTOBER and we still do not have an update! Is it realy too much to ask to deliver in under 3 months? NO! Pull your finger out HTC, there are already 2.0 devices out there and you are leaving us with 1.5, this is simply not good enough and will result in people leaving Android.
