HTC has promised Android 2.1 for the Hero (CDMA & GSM) and the DROID Eris. We’re still looking for an exact date, but it should be coming soon. But what about the HTC Magic, Dream or even the Tattoo? There has not been much talk about these phones from HTC, but we have just learned that the HTC Tattoo will indeed be getting an Android 2.1 update with Sense. Frandroid is reporting that a new ROM is in the works which will give Tattoo owners the much anticipated Android 2.1 update.

Kindly note we understand that now that a phone running Android OS 2.1 is available that you are excited to get an update for your Tattoo. We are still working hard to building Sense for this new version but we expect to have the upgrade finished and ready to go soon. Please understand that it takes time to customize any Android version to ensure you have the intuitive experience Sense provides, and we hope you can be patient for just a little while longer.

Since the HTC Tattoo is note sold here in the U.S. market, we don’t have a real grasp on how well the handset is selling. We would find it hard to believe that the Tattoo is more popular than the HTC Magic even with its lower price and interchangeable face/back plates. We’re still hoping to hear something from HTC in regards to the Magic and the Dream, but at what point does out hope turn into a delusion?
