HTC Hero owners will probably know the story by now. The handset runs Android 1.5 under the pretty HTC Sense UI but, for many months, we've all waited patiently for the 2.1 update. It's available in the USA for the Sprint Hero and if you're in Taiwan ...
The rather square Motorola CHARM has popped up over on engadget.com. Android 2.1 powers this, along with "Enhanced" MOTOBLUR GUI tweaks. Other than that there's not a fat lot we can tell apart from the obvious QWERTY keyboard and the fact that it's a ...
