The HTC Hero (which is available for pre-order at BestBuy) just received a firmware upgrade which is suppose to make it faster, much faster. Previously, the cellphone used to get stuck or take too long while making use of specific software, but with the new firmware that slowness will vanish.

This firmware version is also known as 2.73.405.5 and it isn’t available worldwide, at least for now. Denmark was one of the few countries picked for the launch, while the others will have to wait a few more days/weeks. Keep checking your national HTC site for updates.
