Great, now we know it'll be available 'when it's available'...
I thought that too at first, but I'm assuming that the first build number is the UKs as it's listed without the subtitle on the UK support page??
...but the url is UK specific.
The exact same message is posted on the Europe wide site, so it seems to be generic
DOH! Should have paid more attention, you're right
Just getting a little excited

"The new Build number after the update will be 2.73.405.93; 2.73.405.94 (Nordic) & 2.73.405.95 (Greece/ Ireland)."
This doesn't sound as 2.1, doesn't it?
It's just update for FOTA client
My hero has been updated right now... Nothing happend, just build number is now 2.73.405.93 ... I think, this is just update what prepare your phone to 2.1 update... To get this update right now you have to set date in your hero 1 month forward...
CONFIRMED
After i set the date to 15 07 2010 it immideately checked and found an update.
I guess that setting it a month ahead tricks the phone into thinking it has been a long time since it last checked for update and run the checker at once.

Updated my HTC Hero to Build Number: 2.73.110.91 by moving the date ahead by a month.

Mine worked ok on an unlocked T-Mobile phone.
Just pushed the date forward by a month and it prompted the update within 30 seconds.
My unbranded/sim-free UK Hero is now:
2.73.405.93
Now to resist pressing the 'Check Now' button on the System software updates screen!
If mine is unbranded, uk sim free, and so is yours, why do we have different values ?
What carrier are you with ? (I'm on Orange).
PS - the check now says there are no updates available
Changing the date seems to work - mine immediately updated. I'm on an unbranded handset on Vodafone. New build number is 2.73.405.93.
I see that there's now a System Software Update option on the About Phone menu that wasn't there before that allows you to check to see if there are any further updates.
Any ideas when the actual firmware update is going to appear? Days or weeks?

Why have I got the Greece/Ireland version if I live in Bournemouth ?
My build number is definitely 2.73.405.95

I'm on o2. Strange.
Perhaps the carrier is relevant even on unbranded phones...
And I meant I have to resist constantly pressing the check now button. Must have pressed it quite a few times in the last 2 hours!
