We haven’t seen many quality QWERTY-slider phones in the past few months, but this is about to change with the HTC Vision. A Croatian site released two photos of what is rumored to be the Vision. The HTC Vision will come with a 3.7″ screen, 1 GHz CPU and Android 2.1.
Note that the Vision’s keyboard is very tiny compared to the screen. For instance on the Nokia N97 mini, the keyboard is about the same size as the screen on top of it. Actually, now when you think about it, how would this keyboard look on the back of the phone? Is the other half of the back equipped with a battery, or just empty space? Hard to tell if this is a fake or not.
Another pic after the break.
HTC has finally started to push out its long awaited Android 2.1 update for European HTC Hero owners. Software Upgrade 3.32.405.1 can be yours with a 79.88 MB OTA download. Carrier branded custom Heros still need to wait a while for the phone to be updated.
Please remember to make a full backup of your system before proceeding with the update.

A video preview of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. As you can see in the video, the X8 sits in somewhere between the X10 and X10 mini.
Keep in mind that this is a pre-release model, with both the hardware and software still being tuned before public release.
Sony Ericsson today confirmed that they will release an Android 2.1 update for the Xperia X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro during the third quarter this year. The update will also add HD video recording and a feature that can connect a television wirelessly to the phone.
It’s good to hear that they have managed to cut some waiting time for you eager Xperia X10 users out there (it was previously expected to be released in 4Q2010).
Sprint released a new ROM for their Hero earlier today. The new version is just a minor software update, pumping up the software version to 2.27.651.6 (from 2.27.651.5). No official word on what this update brings, but initial reactions show that it will speed up your phone a bit. Comments on other blogs shows that overall performance increases and for instance the dialer should be more responsive after the update.
To update, do the following on your phone and follow the on screen instructions: About Phone > System Updates > HTC software updates.
HTC released the long awaited Android 2.1 update for their Hero (GSM version). The update is currently available in Taiwan, the home country of HTC. No word if this update will also be available in Europe, but there shouldn’t be a problem with this since they use the same GSM bands in Taiwan and Europe, so the device should also be same. This of course isn’t the case with carrier customized Hero’s, owners of them still need to wait until the carrier of choice decides to update your Hero.
If you can’t wait for the update to arrive, you should give VillainROM a try.
Update: The version of your Hero after the update should be 3.31.751.1.
