Unlocked HTC Hero gets Android 2.1 update — no, for real this time

False starts aside, that promised late June Android 2.1 upgrade for the GSM version of the HTC Hero is finally here — for unlocked models, anyhow. It seems that users are being greeted with an update clocking in at nearly 80MB, and despite HTC’s own warning to the contrary, apps aren’t being wiped, so you should be able to undertake the endeavor pretty safely. Orange and T-Mobile versions of the phone apparently haven’t yet begun to see the rollout, but the wait shouldn’t be terribly long now — meanwhile, let us know how your upgrade experience goes in comments, folks.
