I don't think they forgot, so much as omitted.
Probably mid-June
The official release sounds like it's going to be June but as Cyanogen pointed out on Twitter yesterday, Froyo source is already tricking into AOSP which means between now and release, CM will have more and more Froyo features.
there is a beta, right?
Engadget says they got a beta of both 2.2 and adobe's 10.1 flash player on their demo phone. If Adobe and google are sending these out, someone is going to dump the ROM and it will be available here. I'm itching for some frozen yougart...

It says here we can update OTA starting today. If I go to my phone settings and about and click on update it says I am up to date.

well this keynote isn't over yet, maybe they will mention it before it ends (release date).
the keynote isn't over. they'll announce the date at some point today.

So... you have sole rights to speculate about the release date? That's all anyone here is doing, there is not official or even leaked word about the date from anyone in the know. It's just based on Adobe's June release for Flash 10.1.
If someone posts a thread about the release, feel free to complain to them for double-posting but not the rest of us who are just helping the people that don't know how to search.
Supporting devices
Nexus One owners will be delighted to learn that Android 2.2 is available as an OTA update beginning today. Google also confirmed that late model devices like the Motorola Droid, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Desire and HTC Incredible are scheduled to get the update soo

What is up with this ozarguide site and bad information. This links to the following statement:
Good news for Samsung Moment owners as it has become the fourth phone to receive the highly awaited Android 2.1 update. Just after the Nexus One, HTC Hero and the Motorola Droid, Sprint rolled out the update today morning.
Does anyone see something wrong in this statememt? (Other than the obvious grammar error that is!)

HOW do you know it? Speculations!
I am waiting for the oficiella version, (modified roms here now have too many bugs) even if it takes in the autumn
But I am impressed by chef´s which has done a great job for us to test version 2.1
there's more chance of a dual booting iPad running Android 6.4
coming out than a timely update for the hero lol. September doesn't seem so bad, my contract is up for renewal then..Sent from my Hero using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
There are already many threads to the update!
We have to wait,I think all other speculations,
because HTC seems to be unsure themselves!
so, is it tomorrow then? on the 16th??

if you don't have a source for that you could be so kind to mark it as sarcasm somehow, not all newbies get it necessarily.

Custom roms are better anyway
How many of you guys will update to the official ROM...and stay using it...
Like i said Custom roms is still better

No sarcasm, I have a friend who's working at a phone house who told me. That's, by the way why I don't trust the other source who's telling everybody 16th of April (and now, like magic, end of april!).
BTW: Is it that bad that newbies wouldn't get it? People are announcing wrong dates almost everyday and my indication gets flagged somehow?
This was the only official statement from HTC regarding something new for Hero, all the rest was whishfull thinking, rumours and foolish comments:
Press Release from February 16th
Availability
The new HTC Legend will be available in Europe through Vodafone and in the direct channel beginning in April. It will roll out to other parts of the world including Asia in early Q2. HTC Desire will be broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets in early Q2. The HTC Desire will be exclusively available in Australia through Telstra. The enhanced HTC Sense experience will also be offered as a free upgrade on the HTC Hero in Europe and Asia.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, the dates for Legend and Desire were very precise, a date for the enhanced experience on Hero was intentionally left open ...
I got this info in a sms today from my operator Ventelo:
Information from Ventelo:
HTC will shortly come up with an updated version of the operating system on some of their mobile phones. The update must be loaded directly onto the phone, and is 100Mb. Ventelo therefore recommend that users of these mobile phones updates via wireless networks and mobile networks.

Please before you start yet another thread about when the update is coming, follow the link in your reference article. If you would have, then you would have seen that this was referring to the hero in the UK and not the sprint hero.
i think it's funny how many "official" news comes out, with the umpteen "in the know" employees and stuff surfing these forums... maybe I should put a "" around employees as well...
I'll believe it when I see it

lilH3rmit send that tweet right now
www.github.com/android
the reason why they think it's june is because Adobe said that Flash 10.1 will be in android in june.
Then Google said that Flash will be in 2.2. Google never gave any date for 2.2/froyo. Hell they could even not announce it tomorrow since it's actually not known what the keynote is. Though obviously they'd be insane not to lol
Most likely 2.2 will be announced tomorrow with an SDK and will come out as an OTA to the Nexus/Droid and other phones starting in June

Sod all, I imagine
And it doesn't mean what we all wants... 2.1... it simply means that HTC will delay the release further and further... and ultimatley not at all...
Well Sprint and Verizon did get them...........
Well, at the end of the day I won't use the official HTC 2.1 ROM.
I'm very happy with Cronos Droid which gives excellent speed as well as root access, the latter never available with stock ROMs.
Some of the unofficial 2.1 ROMs with newer kernels are getting so good now that for those who root it really matters not. For me SenseHero is spectacular.
So, its June.
Where do we download the official 2.1 from then?
There will be no update to Eclair in June.
HTC will postpone the second OTA update to July, then to August etc.
We've been ****ed with and have to accept it.
HTC has stopped supporting GSM Hero. That is the bitter truth.

I don't know. I had the info from the E-mail support which, clearly, lied to me.
They said "early June" so let's wait for a few days...

I agree with bluesax, there is a lot of negativity to HTC's support - whilst I agree it is crap, we have given them 22hrs (using the international date line...) so far to provide from the start of June. Yes okay, they have messed us around, but it is too soon to start saying that they haven't given it to us yet, so we are obviously being fobbed off.
I trust (don't know why...) that they will give us the update, and hope they will releases patches as time goes on.
But that's just me.....
