About a month ago it was announced that all CDMA models of the HTC hero would be patched to Android 2.1, and there was much rejoicing.

HTC Hero on the Cheap for our Canadian Friends

If you’re Canadian and still haven’t gotten around to picking up an Android headset, you’re run out of excuses.

All in all it’s a fantastic price for a solid phone.
