HTC Hero Update Available Now

If you’re familiar with the HTC Hero and it’s absolutely lovely Sense UI… you’ll no doubt know how great it looks, but you may be a bit peeved with speed/performance issues. Many have reported slow-downs and even complete freeze-ups, especially from the home screen. Thankfully, HTC has been busy working on this, and as we can see in the preview video above (thanks to Paul @ Modaco), a new update is on the way to fix the problem. While no details on when this update may be released, it certainly seems like it addresses all major performance issues. Navigation is fast, and everything seems to be just, um, Rosie?

While the Sprint version of the Hero hasn’t shipped yet… I think we can expect this new build to come standard on it. Which means, no laggy OS problems for new American Hero users. Yay!

If you have a Hero in-tow and want this latest build, check out XDA Developers for everything you’ll need.
