The file is megabytes in size. For now, your best bet is to call the Sprint store and see if they have the upgrade on hand. The final ROM for the update was leaked a couple of days ago ahead of its rumored May 21st date , so it was only a matter of time before we saw Sprint follow suit with the official availability.
The only changes that Sprint describes for the update are as follows:. Just like the Moment update, the Hero 2. As usual, if you do not have a Windows PC , you need to get a friend with one to help you or take a stroll into your nearest Sprint store to have the update applied. WhatsApp has a feature that automatically downloads and saves photos and videos that you receive through the app. While it is convenient, it can be a massive storage hog, especially if you are in multiple group chats that love to send photos and videos.

Auto-load comments: Off On. Elsewhere the design is fairly straightforward. The rounded edges at the bottom continue to the top, buttons are kept to a minimum and the 5-megapixel camera takes centre stage on the back of the device.
Like the original Hero the phone comes with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating giving it a slightly rubberised feel and certainly different from the usual slippery, shiny, smudged handsets you normally find.
Slip the case off and you'll find a microSD slot. Keeping on the technology front, you'll get wireless and Bluetooth 2. This being the Sprint variant it's geared towards the Sprint Ev network. If you're a Sprint customer this isn't really going to make much difference. We took the phone on a road trip from Hoboken, New Jersey, down to the Outer Banks in North Carolina and had no trouble with connection on any part of the journey. All east coast admittedly, but you know from either being a Sprint customer or having friends on Sprint whether or not you are going to get good coverage.
Android as you probably know is an open source operating system created by Google that allows you to multitask, download additional apps and run a fully-fledged smartphone complete with mail, browser and all the usual apps you would expect. Taking the Android OS as a starting point, HTC have, like they have previously with Windows Mobile, put their own special sheen on the operating system. In reality you'll mostly experience this through a series of customised screens giving you quick access to a number of the key features.
Whether it's work, play, social networking or all of the above, the screens are incredible easy to use, stylish and the key to the phone's simplicity. Thanks to a ROM update from HTC released in September and automatically installed here, the phone is zippy and is an improved experience over the original HTC Hero, which we originally thought could be improved from a software point of view. It's fast enough that you won't find yourself struggling with whether or not you've press the button or flipped a screen.
And as flipping through screens is something that you'll find yourself doing a lot, it only fair to expect good performance. Basically we weren't disappointed. Elsewhere specific to the Sprint version you get a Nascar application, which is, it has to be said pretty dull and a GPS application, which is fairly helpful and saves you having to invest in a satnav app from the get go.
Of course there is plenty more to the phone than above. The handset is expected to ship with Android version 1. Software-wise it is also fair to say that social networking like Facebook, Twitter and Flickr are at the core of this device, with deep integration into contacts.
Of course you have to manually set all this up for it to work to its full advantage, but still it's a nice addition to have and certainly makes the iPhone and its contact system rather outdated. It's just one of the niceties that can be found on the phone, whether it's the weather updates automatically changing as you change your location, or the different "scenes" that allow you to gear your home screens to what you are in to, the HTC Hero is a very good handset.
