It appears some people are still using Plurk, that Twitter rival from a couple of years ago. HTC is one of them, with their corporate account confirming that GSM HTC Heros will be getting the Android 2.1 update today. This comes after HTC pushed the update out to CDMA Heros the other week, with Sprint customers getting lucky on May 19th. [AndroidAndMe]

While I’ll definitely get another android phone, I’m staying away from HTC supported ones like the plague! They might have the best HW at the time they’re released but it means squat if it takes a year for an OS update.
Next time I’m getting a Google supported phone (whatever comes after Nexus hopefully)

Any, I’m hoping so, cause using a phone with sense on it definitely seems a lot nicer than stock android. but, either way, I’m definitely sticking with android.
