OK so I assume we've all had an opportunity to download, install and play around with the Android 2.1 OS Update on the Sprint HTC Hero. 🤤 😁 If yes, feel feel to drop your opinions here (i.e., Like it, don't like it, neutral, apathetic, etc). And for those who have not done it yet, well what the heck are you all waiting for?
IMHO, it's a head over heels improvement over Cupcake 1.5.

1. It's running better even with the fairly large amount of apps I've got installed on it. 2. It also looks like (but I can't attest to this with certainty just yet) that the Internet Browser on board by default has some Flash Player support built in.

You might want to try unsynching then resynching the email (especially if it is yahoo or something like that)

I know with the Eris update, it broke a lot of people's yahoo accounts but worked fine once they re synced it.

Not sure about the screen lag. Does it pop up more often when you're using certain programs?

I had to re-sync my Y! a/c maybe once and it's been fine ever since. Other than that, I've had my Y! e-mails come in same day but maybe a few seconds to a few minutes behind when they appear in my Inbox on my PC.

Okay, I'll resync the email.

To clarify the screen issue... For instance, on the main screen, if I swipe left or right, sometimes it will get 'stuck' halfway between the screens for a moment before completing. Same thing happens with notifications. Applications don't seem to have any issues, just the home screen as far as I can tell.
