"In the near future" isn't a terribly reassuring statement; we are still waiting for microsoft to fix bugs in windows 3.1 that they said would be fixed "In the near future"
Hell, had to listen to the "HTC Hero will update to 2.1 for almost a whole quarter" I'll believe it when I see it. Don't get me wrong though. I absolutly love my android phone. Hell my girl friend calls it my pocket girlfriend.

You can manually update your sprint hero at the sprint support site. It's been up there for weeks.

I'm pretty sure the 2.1 update has been available for the sprint hero for a couple weeks now. Goto sprints support site for the hero and goto downloads. There wasn't an over the air update due to the vast changes so you have to update it manually.
I've been using 2.1 on my mt3g for a few weeks now thanks to cyanogen, and it ruins beautifully. I'm confident cyanogen will have a 2.2 rom before TMO releases their official update but this is still exciting news. I'm not sure if I'd want to go back to an "official" rom however.
Yes the update is there, but that was after they announced it November of last year, then started saying it would be released in Febuary, then March, then April, Finally it was released May 19th. So yes there was an update from 1.6 to 2.1. But this was in regards to the waitting of it actually getting realeased.
