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?
