Good news all you HTC Hero owners with serious DROID/Google NAV envy: Android 2.0 will be coming to your phone…eventually. Straight from the horse’s mouth:
“Yes, we are working on an Eclair update for the HTC Hero. Because Eclair is a significantly enhanced release, it will require some time to update Sense for this new version of the Android OS. Please be patient while we work to provide you with a tightly integrated experience like the one you are already enjoying on your Hero.”

HTC officially kicked out their latest Android handset today, the Hero. The big piece of news attached to this phone is that it is the first of its type (Android OS) to ship with support for Adobe Flash. Battery skepticism aside, HTC is also pushing a trifecta of options that are intended to make your mobile life easier, which in my opinion sound more like a repackaging job.
First up there is the ‘make it mine’ which is simply a number of widgets and skins that can be tailored to your lifestyle. For instance you can have a ‘work’ profile, a ‘weekend’ profile and a ‘going to the club’ profile. Next up is something called ’stay close’ which associates info, such as emails, contact info, notes, social networking with contacts or persons at a glance. Lastly, they’ve rebranded the phone’s local search and called it ‘discover the unexpected’, which is designed to expedite the process of looking for a contact numbers and so forth. The HTC Hero will hit Europe in July, Asia late summer and North America some time later this year.
Specs wise the phone breaks down like this:
