Android 2.1 for Hero May 21st?
May 8th
Here we are again with more rumors… My sources were able to provide me with the latest update being communicated to Best Buy employees as May 21st. There is still really NO way to know if this is 100% but I would have to imagine that if this is what Best Buy is communicating to their associates then there is some truth to it. Again we will have to wait and see.
HTC Hero … 2.1 update?
May 6th
I know there seems to be a lot of news and rumors out there regarding the Android 2.1 for the HTC hero. I am also aware that the screen shot from Best Buy. I have also seen it in person. YES I have seen it in person at Best Buy however I cannot say how I saw it or got access to it. I spent some time talking with associates about the new version and they too were convinced it’s going to happen.
I’m not trying to add to the rumors and I too am waiting for this update. Just like you I will just have to wait and see what happens. Everyone is pissed off but I would like to know HOW Best Buy can send this memo to its employees and I have not seen one statement from them regarding this latest DATE.
So with NO update from Best Buy and this memo still available on their system we still have a little bit of wait and see.
Don’t get me wrong. I have made my piece that this update is not happening May 7th.

Android 2.1 upgrade for Sprint’s HTC Hero?
Apr 19th
I know that there have been many posts and rumors surrounding when we will see this much anticipated upgrade the HTC Hero. If you are anything like me I know that you are waiting for this with impatient anticipation. Don’t get me wrong, I am very happy with my phone but I guess the thought of an upgrade that will make the phone run faster and smother is just something to look forward to.
The release dates have been getting pushed back for a while now with the most recent dates of April 9th and then April 26th to now sometime in May…
If you know anything new please feel free to share your thoughts.
T-Mobile & Sidekick Data Outage
Oct 19th
I am sure if you have a T-Mobile Sidekick then you know about the outage that Microsoft/Danger’s servers have caused. In the latest update, dated 10/10/09, it was mentioned that customers contacts are more than likely, not recoverable. You know where I am going with this.
I find it extremely surprising and frustrating that ANY company that deals with data can let something like this happen. Are you telling me that they had NO form of backup in place on these servers or was it someone’s incompetence that allowed this to happen? As a paying customer, I would like to think that if part of my service is the fact that my contacts are backed up on these servers then I would fully expect that the appropriate failsafes would be in place. Thanks again Microsoft!
Does everyone remember when the ZUNE crashed last year? For some BS reason it could not work the last day of the year. It had something to do with the extra day in the year giving us 366 days. And let’s not forget VISTA! So again, Microsoft lets us down. How is any of this acceptable?
This is not just a Microsoft issue as their partner Danger is just as much to blame as well as T-Mobile themselves for not having any form of quality control in place to prevent this from happening. Yeah, Yeah… make whatever excuse you want for them.
Update! 10/14/09
So as they continue to work on the server challenges they have become optimistic that they might be able to recover some of the lost data however considering we are in the 2nd week I do not see it happening.
