QUOTE (eoinmonty @ Jan 18 2010, 02:10 PM)  Still no word from meteor on this one? I'm a bit confused. Weren't people sating that Meteor won't offer OTA update because of the sim unlcok issue? I thought that the Hero (on Bill anyway) was unlcoked!? Would be nice for Meteor to provide some sort of update........ |

Have telephone reception (whick works as I just dialled out to my own landline) but would need to configure the mobile broadband. So yes, my phone appears to be unlocked! |

Yeah as far as I know all Hero Bill pay phones are unlocked that's why I can't understand Meteor having an issue with the OTA update?!? |

QUOTE (solair @ Jan 6 2010, 03:11 PM) So can we upgrade to the next version of android, or are we stuck with whatever came in the box / having to override restrictions to do it? Seems a bit pointless getting a really good high-end smart phone if you can't keep up with the latest software. Hi all, Sorry for the delay in response here. I had posted on another thread announcing the launch of version 2.0, so when I heard that this may be being skipped to go straight to 2.1, I went to do a little more investigating. We’ve been in contact with HTC and they have said that version 2.0 will be available in and around March of this year. HTC sense UI will be tightly integrated with Android 2.0, as with other versions of the software. Because of this new versions of the software take a while to develop. As for 2.1 this would also need to be developed and there is no update on this. Sorry if there was any confusion here and if I hear any more on this I’ll make sure to let you all know. Hope this helps Glynn Meteor talk to us |

It was 2.1 but missing the Sense overlay & has bricked some phones. Shows good promise that we'll get it soon though. |
