The folks of laptopmag have a very interesting initiative, that’s both related to the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2010 and Android. They’ve put together an “Android Cup Game”, making the best handsets with Google’s OS on board compete as seen in the chart below. Today it’s HTC Hero and Motorola Backflip’s turn to...
Wow… an Android 2.1 update leaked online and for the very device we’ve been waiting to get such an update, HTC Hero. Who would have thought? Said leak happened courtesy of Sprint and no, this is not the official release, in case you’re wondering. The software will still wipe your memory clean, so should better back up and hope for...
Count this one as a brilliant PR move for HTC, since they’ve started sending Hero models made out of Chocolate to members of the Russian press. This might mean that the device is coming to a local carrier soon, with a killer offer, or that HTC simply “likes it sweet”. Imagine the jealousy in LG’s camp when they found out about...
The tweet you can see below let us know that the updated ROM for HTC Hero, version 2.73.771.73 is now available. You just have to access this website to download it and follow the steps mentioned there.

Last we heard, HTC was readying a Sense UI update, to be present on the Espresso handset model, that got its ROM hacked and messed with. The ROM was then ported onto a HTC Hero and tested, as you can see in the video below. This version seems to be cleaner and we notice a new launcher bar at the bottom, that should come in handy. Less convincing are...
We’ve seen tons of HTC-related leaks recently, among which there was the huge portofolio of handsets scheduled to surface in 2010. Now, we learn that Sprint’s HTC Hero will get the Android 2.1 update, HTC HD2 will be released by T-Mobile and the Sense UI will be upgraded. The info about the upgrade of Sense comes from a ROM dump that runs...
We’ve recently found out that HTC Hero and Samsung Moment will be getting Android 2.0 updates, but now Sprint just tweeted the fact that these two handsets will be upgraded straight to version 2.1. This will happen in the first half of 2010. Gearlog claims that Sprint was probably going to do this all along, but they didn’t announce their...
Here’s a video preview showing the Eclair ROM running on HTC Hero, in the European version. Android 2.1 is what users of the current Google mobile OS versions are craving for and for good reasons, as you can see for yourself in the video below: If you’re using the Donut right now, you’re certainly missing out on some cool features,...
HTC Eris is the second device in the Verizon Droid line and an Android model that looks very much like HTC Hero, at least in the design department. The folks of Engadget have tested both Eris and Hero, the last in its GSM and CDMA versions (without the chin), as you can see in the video below: We remind you that HTC Hero was launched in the US via...
HTC has just confirmed on its Twitter account that it’ll be offering an Android 2.0 upgrade for its famous HTC Herosmartphone. The Eclair update is being readied right now and it might take a bit more time, as HTC updates the Sense UI for the new Android OS. This would make Hero the second device to run (or get ready to run) Android 2.0, following...
