The Hero fans are getting EVEN ANGRIER it would seem, as someone’s taken the extraordinary step of making an Android app version of a petition to get HTC to bring a new version of Android to the many HTC Hero phones around the world still stuck on Android 1.5.

Apparently, you “sign” the app petition by downloading it and leaving a comment beneath the app’s Android Market listing. Here’s the description:

“Are you tired of HTC promising us time and time again our much needed Eclair update? Even when we get updated we still wont be at the latest version! Sign this petition and hopefully we will get the message to HTC to stop giving out false release dates! “Sign by downloading and then leaving a comment on the market!”

And here’s us, adding our signature:

We’re with you, Hero owners. Although we are very, very close to going MAD and purchasing a Nexus One. When that happens we’ll stop caring about your plight.

Here’s a QR code for the petition app, if you want to STICK IT to poor old HTC:
