You technically have to get Eclair, considering the Sprint Hero is your Hero, just in a different body. HTC can't update the Sense UI on that device, and not yours. The trouble is, we have no idea when it could happen, and HTC isn't telling anyone.
HTC can see it as competing with the DROID running 2.0, because the HTC Hero already has most of the features packed into 2.0. The trouble is that 1.5 doesn't seem to be the benchmark that it used to be, as Google updates its services for 1.6+, leaving 1.5 devices in the dust.
That's the trouble. The fact that @htc hasn't said anything regarding the unlocked Hero's update is unsettling to say the least. It's even worse, knowing that the Moment, a phone not even manufactured by HTC, is getting the 2.0 update. So, this must have been a deal between Google and Sprint. But, we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully before June of next year.
That is definitely one of the situations with having an all touchscreen device, with no relevant hardware keys. While there are phones out there that can handle this very well, I'm still one of those people who would prefer to have a hardware 'answer' and 'end' option. Just so much easier that way.
How did the ordering go from eXpansys? Smooth sailing?
You're right about AT&T needing to start looking at other devices than the iPhone. Their focus on the device has, more or less, ruined their focus on the network, as well as other reliable, and good devices. The sheer fact that they have completely dismissed Android altogether is a troubling sign.
Good question, Dominick. Refunds aren't affected by the additional payment method. Refunds are still handled within the first 24 hours. If you purchase an app, you can get it refunded without hassle within 24 hours. They don't make a charge on your account, or credit card, until that 24 hour mark.
You have a Jet? When Samsung announced that phone over the summer, I was giving it some serious thought regarding a purchase. I'm a fan of TouchWiz 2.0, so that's not necessarily a turn off for me, but there were a few issues I had. One, Samsung basically released the phone as a beta product, and used the population at large as testers. I didn't really enjoy that at all.
But, that 800 MHz processor is amazing, isn't it?
I don't think the phone itself makes it look all that nice.
The Droid Eris is anything like the DROID update wise, then you will receive a pop=up message on your phone indicating that an update is available. At that point, you'll just follow the on-screen instructions.
If not, then you'll want to head into the Settings option, go down to 'About Phone', and then look for 'System Update'. if it's not there (because I'm going off my HTC Hero, and there are other menu changes in the Eris, so it could be different), then it could be under 'Security'.
