Today during Mobile Congress, HTC CEO Peter Chou confirmed that they will bring Android 2.1 and new HTC Sense features to their Hero line of devices . It means that the new Sense UI and Android 2.1 will be available soon on Droid Eris ,Sprint Hero and HTC Hero for European markets.

The new HTC Sense comes with lot of new features like Friendstream, an app which is used to stay in touch with your Flicker, Twitter and Facebook friends all in one place. E-mail and calendar widgets are improved with better account management for the inbox and an agenda view as well. They also included a new full-screen weather app on the clock widget.

HTC improved more than just SenseUI… they enhanced the Android Browser! The new Sense comes with the ability to press and hold a word or a paragraph and look it up its definition or translate it to another language. All thanks to Google. Wow, The new Sense UI comes with lot of new features.

  9. Asad, I just want to make sure you realize what phones the statement “All HTC Heroes” includes. There are at least six other carriers in the U.S. besides Sprint that also have the Hero. I know Cellular South (my carrier) has said they are getting the upgrade, but I’m not sure about Bluegrass Cellular, Appalachian Wireless, nTelos, Alaska DigiTel, or ACS.

    Really think I’m starting to prefer AndroidSPIN because you guys seem to cover ROM news better than other places. Thanks!

      Mark my dear friend, These are the words of HTC CEO. He said that i didn’t. And There are only 3 types of Hero:
      1.Droid Eris (Verizon)
      2.Sprint Hero
      3.HTC Hero.(This is only available in UK market)

      The Hero which is on Sprint network. Is also on Bluegrass Cellular, Appalachian Wireless, nTelos, Alaska DigiTel, and ACS. So it’s the same thing .It’s mean that they will get the update too. I used Sprint name because Sprint is one of the largest carrier in USA . As you say that there are six other carriers in US, Only Verizon has the different hero. which is Droid Eris(http://bit.ly/7Khsjb). But everyone else has the same one(http://bit.ly/d0zyxi). I hope you understand now. I am very sorry if you mind
      Thanks !
