Of course, Google had similar problems with the Nexus and their's was new out of the box, rather than an in-service update. Stupid Google?

Didn't only a few eris' receive the update? Like Verizon screwed up and released the update for a little bit, then pulled it, causing some people to manage to get the update when it wasn't ready?
This article claims "HTC said this week that it will release the Android OS 2.1 upgrade for the HTC Hero at some point next month." Though it doesn't cite anything.
HTC Hero Getting Android OS 2.1 Upgrade Next Month


just a little observation:
I'm using the term "whining" in a very loose sense here, but of the last 10 "whining" posts...
# whining about the 2.1 release: 5 (#381, #371, #365, #363, #355)
# whining about people whining about the 2.1 release: 3 (#385, #383, #372)
# whining about people whining about whining about the 2.1 release: 2 (#378, #377)
half the people were whining about the topic at hand. The other half were either whining about people whining, or whining about people whining about people whining. Please note the mod gets a bye because it's his job to keep the thread on topic.
And sorry if it sounds like i'm just whining about people whining about people whining about people whining about the 2.1 release.![]()
