I'm still digging for an update on the security policy enhancement updates for EAS (Exchange Activesync) so if you have something on this, would appreciate a reply.

Sprint communication below:
INFORMATION REGARDING MR 2.1 ÉCLAIR FOR ANDROID DEVICES :
HTC HERO AND SAMSUNG MOMENT
The Samsung Intercept 2.1 Éclair Maintenance Release is scheduled for next Friday, April 30, and the HTC Hero is scheduled for the first week of May.
The 2.1 download/installation will initially be available to Sprint subscribers using an Over the Wire (OTW) download tool only. OTW will be the initial and recommended method for both Hero and Intercept due to the following:
The 2.1 SW package is too large (~80Mb - Intercept & 117Mb - Hero) to be hosted and administered using Sprint’s internal Over-the-Air (OTA) servers/platform (9Mb limit).
HTC HERO
The Hero release of MR 2.1 Éclair is slated for the week of May 1. There are two ways the Hero can be updated:
Tethered (preferred method) or Over the Wire (OTW) : Hero users should go to
www.sprint.com/downloads.
Click “Smartphones” in the center panel
Click on HTC Hero and follow the download and upgrade instructions.
SAMSUNG MOMENT
We have two scheduled maintenance releases.
The first is MR1 which prepares the Intercept for all future OTA updates and ability for the customer to do their own cable sync updates. MR1 launched in retails stores 1/15/10 and the customer upgrade tool was launched on the Sprint and Samsung websites on 2/19/10. NOTE: Customers do not have to visit a retail store to prepare their phones for MR1.
Please use the below steps to download the MR1 update.

www.sprint.com/downloads Click “Smartphones” in the center panel
