Further to my previous post, HTC have just announced a brand new ROM for Orange UK HTC Hero users! :)
This is the link provided via Twitter: http://ow.ly/13YR2for ROM Version ROM Version:2.73.61.66 for Orange
This supercedes the last version (mentioned below) 2.73.61.5
Sadly this is not the hotly anticipated 1.6 or 2.1 version of Android, and according to AndroidForums, the main difference is probably a bug fix plus a new 3x3 grid People widget.
So more waiting.

If it's any help, I loaded a new ROM from the HTC website for the Orange UK version of HTC Hero last month. The specs are as follows:
- Build number: 2.73.61.5
- Kernel version: 2.6.27
- Firmware version: 1.5
I read that HTC will be releasing an update for HTC Hero (to 2.1) soon, but believe Sprint users (in the US) will receive this first.

That update should take you to android 2 I believe.

Which version are you on currently?
They did an upgrade to the HTC Hero / Google Android in November 2009 but I'm not sure if you are asking about the next logical upgrade.
