All that HTC have said is it would be ready in 1st quarter, if they release on their website on April 2nd then they'll just be off 2 days. They'd want to get the Legend and Desire out the gates first and updates would follow. Its always going to take the carrier a bit longer to release, same as when they did their lag fix.
Problem with fixed dates is the rush to hit the deadline, if something wasn't right then it gives them a few days to play with if the specific date isn't fix just a approximate time scale is given.

Sorry, but you seem to have missed the point utterly. The point being made above was the diabolically bad communications from HTC - the fact that a date has been thrown around all over the internet without contradiction or even mitigation from HTC meerly confirms this fact. Similarly to the poster above, I'm in no particular rush for 2.x, but HTC's communication capabilities are frankly embarrassing.
Will updating wipe the phone then? Because that would be a pain
Yes, updating will wipe.
If you bought it SIM-free then it will definitely use the generic HTC ROM.

While the ROM itself may not be anything to get your knickers in a twist about, the fact that more and more apps are only available for 1.6+ or even 2.0+ ROM's is a good enough reason to be getting the hump.
I've got a Telus HTC Hero, no branding that I can see but it is made for North America. Will I be able to use a generic HTC rom?
You might feel differently if you'd paid for apps months ago that have been constantly developed and improved and now can't be installed on 1.5-based devices.
I can't say for sure. What is the current build number installed?
That's exactly the problem.
As for HTC being bad at communication, T-Mobile-UK are even worse
I'm bored of people complaining that HTC aren't telling us when 2.1 is coming out.
Why would they pin themselves down like that? It's a FREE upgrade. When it comes, it's a bonus. They have made no committment to the customer, financial or otherwise, so stop complaining as if they have.
Also, who here can say exactly when they'll be upgrading their Hero to the official HTC 2.1 firmware? Nobody. Why? Because we're waiting on them to do something, like they're probably waiting for somebody else to do something too.
And nobody has said anything is official, the only folks who can say when it's ready are HTC. So stop complaining that they "keep delaying" it, when they haven't made any announcements in the first place.
And do not take any notice of the original post, as a date if not confirmed at all. The article clearly states "unofficial". In other words, somebody said, "my mate told me that his mate told him...".
Besides, as far as I am aware, HTC have not released an official feature list of what will be included with the 2.1 update anyhow, so what are we getting all excited about? A new version number?
Having said that, does anybody know when it'll be released? ...as I'm getting really excited.

You don't have to read their posts, y'know....
I can understand peoples' frustration. They perhaps rely on apps, which may have received significant development, that can't be updated to the latest version due to incompatibility with 1.5. I'm in that position myself and while not a show-stopper, it is becoming irksome.
