Ok, let us be frank, it looks like either Sprint is playing games with its users, or someone definitely has too much time to fool around with HTC Hero users.

We last confirmed that the Android 2.1 update for HTC Hero was going to be released by Sprint ^[1] on March 26th. However, some self proclaimed Sprint reps leaked a internal memo ^[2] which said that the update was supposedly coming in April and not March.

Now, few days before March 26th, a Android ^[3] forum member has uploaded a new voice message ^[4] he received from a Sprint technical support representative which confirms that the Android 2.1 update is coming to HTC Hero and Moment on March 26th.

The tech support says:

The software release that is supposed to be coming out on March 26th is Over-The-Air (OTA), so you should get some type of notice on your phone that a software is available.

Whether this voice message was made up or real you judge for yourself. Listen to the embedded voice message by hitting the play button below.

What do you think? Is this a fake too, or will the Android 2.1 update make it to HTC Hero and Moment users on March 26th as we earlier told you?
