HTC Hero Is Ready For Android Update : Eclair Android 2.1
HTC Hero will come with the new version of android 1.5 to android 2.1 version. As quoted from crave.cnet.co.uk, the updated version of android 1.5 into android 2.1 will be executed in two steps.
The first step will be a preparation which can be considered as baring the Hero then covering it with iodine, and the second update step is replacing the HTC Hero’s organ with eclair (name for android 2.1). Both update steps will be detected when Hero next automatically checks for the updates.
One thing users must pay attention is that the second update will wipe-out all the data from our HTC phone. So make sure to do back up first. Gmail and other Google data sould be stored, and apps can be re-downloaded from Android market for free. Crave.cnet.co.uk suggested in its article to grab the free 30 days trial of MyBackUp Pro to save all our text messages, setting and apps in one step. The second update will be a big leap, even HTC it self suggested that we get into a Wi-Fi network before download the eclair.
