TELUS updates HTC Hero to Android 2.1 "Eclair"

HTC and TELUS have released the Android 2.1 "Eclair" update for the HTC Hero. The update provides Google Navigation for turn-by-turn directions, voice activated dialing, and more. The Hero automatically checks for an update every 7 days, or you can manually check for one by opening the phone's settings menu. HTC recommends you backup your data first. There's no word on whether the update will be available on the Sprint HTC Hero, too.
