[UPDATE: The folks over at Androinica are now reporting that these updates could be released as soon as March 26, which is coming up fast, so stay tuned and we will see if the combination of Sprint, HTC, and Samsung can get this thing pushed out to all of you in the coming days or weeks.]

Yup, you heard it here first…or maybe second or third.  The long awaited Android 2.1 update for Sprint phones is scheduled to be released through an over the air upgrade, “in the coming weeks” with, “more information coming in April.”  Some sites have interpreted this as meaning that Sprint will be issuing the upgrade in April.  Here at JAMM, we are far more cynical.  Frankly, I have been burned by Sprint’s broken upgrade promises all too often.  Sure, the upgrades have always arrived…eventually.  So, all I can say at this point is that Sprint is apparently planning to upgrade both the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment to Android 2.1, an upgrade which I am anxiously awaiting.  Whether this upgrade will land in the coming weeks, or even sometime in April…well, I suppose I will believe it when I see it.

Just to show you that Sprint is not always full of hot air, though.  They did just release a Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade for the HTC Touch Pro 2.  You can find that upgrade on HTC’s support site.
