Hey,

Just got a Hero yesterday. It comes with Android 1.5, v2.0 is available on the htc website http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=671

Thinking of upgrading but I read all the carrier settings will be lost. Anyone tried yet ?

That's not v 2. It's the second build with sense UI. Check your phone settings, you most likley have the latest build.

The Meteor HTC Heroes come with Android 1.5, and the updated firmware from HTC which removes the problems that they had with lag already installed.

HTC have said that they are tailoring the Sense UI for Android 2.0 for the Hero, and then they will make it available for Hero users.

That firmware that is on the HTC site is the one that is on the Meteor Heros. No need to 'upgrade'. You'd just be resetting.

Oh yea, my bad.

I hope they make 2.0 available soon. The phone can be quite sluggish and today clicking on my messages was opening every other app than messages.

Also peep would authenticate on 3G either, just on wireless. Deffo still some glitches in there.
