Are you sure that your information that the Sprint HTC Hero will ‘Ship with Android 1.6′??? If so, please advise your source.
I’m asking since all of Sprint’s press release, and other reviewers web sites are advising the Sprint HTC Hero has Android 1.5. In fact, even the Sprint Developers website is showing it is 1.5 as well.
I thought that CDMA support wasn’t officially implemented until 1.6. Maybe Sprint and/or HTC worked something else out. Am I wrong here?
I have the Sprint Hero and it says it has 1.5. Wonder when they’ll roll out 1.6……

yes
does the phone give feedback(vibrate) while texting, email, etc?
yes it does have haptic feedback though wired called it “subtle as an earthquake” for what it’s worth
Yeah its a very aggressive vibrate. I find it annoying.

So the Sprint one is shipping with 1.5? Is 1.6 available for immediate download?
I have the Sprint Hero, I got it on October 11. It still has Cupcake, and there is no Donut update yet.
