Many of the new handsets being unveiled this week are being announced with Android 2.1 installed as the OS.\u00a0 Invariably, this is the time where current Android owners start wondering about their own phones and when they might see an update to the latest release.\u00a0 Sprint customers with Hero and Moment handsets had been previously advised<\/a> to look for an update in the first half of 2010.\u00a0 Thanks to a tweet from the carrier, we know a little bit more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Android update! Upgrades to 2.1 for Hero\/Moment now expected early 2Q10. Currently working through options for upgrades w\/ HTC and Samsung. – via twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The first tweet indicates the “when” as being early in the quarter.\u00a0 We’re assuming (hoping) that this means April.\u00a0 As to how the update will work, that’s yet to be ironed out.\u00a0 It could be an over-the-air update similar to what T-Mobile’s done for their handsets.\u00a0 On the other hand, it may be a case where users are directed to a local Sprint store instead.<\/p>\n

OTA vs. PC-based or in-store upgrade are “still TBD upgrade options” referenced in Android 2.1 tweet (working through w\/ manufacturers) – via twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
