Looks like the Eris hasn't been completely forgotten by big Red after all:

Not exactly a feature rich update, but nice that they're doing something.

When I read the article on android central, I almost regretted doing something a while ago. Then I woke up.

I wonder if this update changes the Android version on the phone.

Nope, it's just a maintenance update, apparently HTC finally decided to fix the picture messaging issue their last maintenance update introduced last year.

I know not to expect FroYo, but I was wondering if the version went from Android 2.1 to Android 2.1 - update1.
