A few days back we told you about the Sprint HTC Hero leak of the latest Android 2.1 software, now we are happy to announce the official update is available on HTC’s website with instructions on Sprint’s website for customers to perform the manual update themselves. We’ll have a guide up shortly, but if you haven’t updated from the old 1.5… now is the time to do so!
Note: the update will wipe your phone and specific to Sprint version of the HTC Hero. Concerned about backing up your contacts, SMS, email, apps, etc? Try MyBackup Pro for complete backup solutions or WaveSecure for SMS and call logs, try AppManager for apps, and your Gmail account automatically backs up Contacts. It will not come as an automatic update thus you must install it yourself.
