By now you have probably heard that HTC and Sprint are not releasing the newest upgrade for Android (Version 2.2 aka Froyo). That pretty much means you can expect no updates to your beloved Hero or Moment pushed directly to your phone. This actually disappoints me mostly because of how closely these phones are to the Nexus One. The Nexus One is the most recent development phone released directly from Google. Google has since discontinued the phone but still pushes updates to it directly. In my opinion they should do the same for the Hero and the Moment; or at least provide a link to manually apply an Android release to the phone.
Luckily you can root your beloved phone and install the newest version. Unfortunately this is not recommended for the weak. You will need to know some basic level of programing and be willing to void your warranty. The good news is that rooting your phone is no longer illegal!
So, if you really really want Froyo you can root it and install a custom ROM or you can simply upgrade to a better phone! (HTC EVO 4G)
Are you planning on sticking with your Hero/Moment or are you planning on upgrading to a bigger better phone?
