The moderators on the official Sprint forums are promising another official update for the HTC Hero. It's not clear, however, is this will be a 2.1-update2 or actually a 2.2 update. But it confirms what I was told by Sprint tech-support last month, that an update is being tested which will address the common problems -- at the very least, the lag (which has got to be a memory leak somewhere). Not sure if it will address the BT problems, too.

I was told the update was scheduled for October 2010, and the moderators are telling people it's already being tested and could roll-out very soon.

Something to look forward to!

Thats good news but the bad news is Sprint has already said the Hero will not get 2.2. I would think it would be a update to address twitter,gsd,and sprintTv as all three of those seems to have problems.(memory leaks or eat cpu) The big hopefully is that it address the connection issue that has been around ever since 2.1 was released.

because if it is some 2.1 update alot of users will be ticked off at htc & sprint. they know the phone can handle 2.2 with no issues.
