Samsung Moment: Android 2.1 Update Live – HTC Hero follows?

We have some great news for Samsung Moment owners now, as it looks like the long awaited update to Android 2.1 is finally available to download from Sprint’s website, despite no official announcement from either Sprint or Samsung yet.

As reported from Phandroid, the download page is listed over at Sprint here. Although the details appear to list an old update, the update is actually the 2.1 update, try it out for yourself – you’ll see!

Once you have updated you should see the following information on your handset: ”Firmware 2.1-update1, S:M900.8.OS.DE03, Kernel version 2.6.29, ECLAIR.DE03, HW version M900.8.0”

Great news for Samsung Moment owners, but what about the poor HTC Hero users? We still don’t have any date for their update – hopefully the update to the Moment will pave the way for the HTC Hero to be next in line.

Did the update work for you or not?
