(wishful thinking!) does this mean we lose all our apps and have to reinstall them all again? Cheers. When we upgrade..

The MoDaCo custom ROM, especially the 3.x series make the phone fly! With the addition of Auto Task Killer and Advanced Task Manager my Hero usually has 50MB free RAM at any one time (with the exception of when Browser/Dolphin is running). I reflashed my G2 back to the stock HTC ROM and man it sucked, immediately reverted back to MoDaCo. Anyone with a rooted handset should remember that they shouldn't apply the stock 2.1 update otherwise there's a chance they won't be able to root their phone anymore. Stick around and wait for the MoDaCo update for the best 2.1 experience! The Hero is great but I don’t people who haven’t rooted it.

If my rooted G1 is faster with 2.1 than it was with 1.6 at only 192MB RAM I think the Tattoo would just do fine. As said by others, 2.1 is likely coming to all Sense UI phones. I still don't know what the holdup is on getting it out as I already have run it on my G1, which does get a little laggy with it, but perhaps that is why. Vanilla 2.1 runs very nicely on the G1. Those that ask about the G1, there was an article not too long ago about a rumor that G1's will be updated to 2.0, at least. If it's just a rumor I encourage you to root your device. I look at 1.6 G1's and they seem very outdated to what I'm used to. @G8D and @milos Darn skippy that the Tattoo would be fine with 2.1.

But I'm still going to get the Nexus One... The hero's processor is too slow and the fact that the youtube app doesn't work proper is really frustrating on the Hero. But hey upgrades never hurt.

I hope that we see some Sense UI Lag go away too. I mean, it's a great phone over all but could definitely improve on some features - especially when receiving a call and that sort of thing. My phone seems to lag before it's able to pull up the notification that I am receiving a call.... Yes, definitely excited. I hope that we see some Sense UI Lag go away too.

It is down to the carriers (Tmobile/Orange etc) to support their own branded handsets and release their own ROMS. Droid Eris is a different Handset and as such will have it's own release date, but there is a 2.x ROM in the works. This will be released for HTC’s own handsets only initially.

It has the same CPU and ROM as Hero only 256MB of RAM instead of Hero's 288 ( but that can't be any problem ). Android 1.6 even runs better on Tattoo then 1.5 does on Hero. That is confirmed by many users. @G8D
