Simple question: What's the difference?
Thanks muchly.

Beware though, Froyo is (almost certainly) going to be announced on the 20th May, the Nexus 1 WILL get this update almost immediately, the Desire probably won't get it for months, years or ever

Oh don't scare monger.
HTC and Google are extremely close - expect the upgrade very soon after the Nexus 1 gets it.
Hero says otherwise. Sense takes a while to adapt to new OS's its not scaremongering at all, it will get it, just not any time soon.
HTC Magic and G1 have gotten 2.1 today.... Via a 3rd party
It seems relatively easy to put a Nexus One ROM on a Desire, but you need to be rooted to do it, and a lot of people would rather wait
That's because it would make the Hero a competitor to the Legend, which they are reluctant to do, not because it takes them ages to do it. Besides, the Desire basically IS a N1 so it wouldn't take much effort if any to upgrade it.
Stop talking crap...the Desire will get the update perhaps not as quick as the Nexus1 but it will get it.

Sadly the Hero is a old tech phone now the specs of it were poor when it was released am sure they will be pushing updates faster on the Desire and Legend as its there new phones out.

You seem to underestimate how much effort building Sense for an new OS will be. If they were both running stock 2.1 then I'd agree, but they're not, so the Desire upgrade will require a LOT more work
The other issue, if this bothers you, is that Nexus is aimed at devs, and is stupid-easy to root and mess with
Paul from Modaco is still wrestling with rooting the Desire in a simple manor by the sounds of it
The Desire has not been out even a few weeks, the N1 been out ages. Yes the N1 is easier to root and the Desire will be as well once the rooting method is further worked on.
