“Would this have happened on Symbian?” – I had a Nokia Symbian phone for three years, and never got a single major update – just bug fixes. And usually not very good bug fixes.

I don’t think the Magic and the Hero have the CPU grunt to confortably run the HTC Sense UI so it’s no loss to me.

I will be interested in the Sense UI on more powerful hardware, in the meantime, when is Android 2.0 supposed to be released ?

W00t! Thanks for that post @Sizzler. I <3 my G1 and I haven’t even had it for a year. I hope I can get more use out of it than my Apple products (despite the best care, my ipod died 13months after purchase).

If this is true, all this fuss is over nothing.

many of you are ‘conceptually confused’ about what android is and what it isn’t. android is simply an operating system. Like microsoft windows. It runs on a computer of your choosing (in this case a cell phone sized computer). Google writes the operating system, they do not sell phones. In fact, the android OS is free!

Now the phones. HTC is the only company to release their cell phones running android in the usa. Since HTC is in the business of selling phones they must innovate and make them better and badder (especially to capitalize on the momentum of the G1). Their first phone was simply good enough to run the first version of android and a little more than that. They will soon have competition for other cell phone manufacturers who will try to top them with additional features (not just on the physical attributes and capabilities of the phone’s hardware, but also on the software functionality (ala HTC Sense). This brings up the point that HTC sense is proprietary to HTC. This is not google owned. Google can not give you sense for your phone.

as other phones come to market, things will surely change. It doesn’t make sense to get mad at windows because your old computer can’t handle their newest operating system. You upgrade memory, upgrade your machine, or put off your windows upgrade. This is frustrating in a cell phone because these things are not as update-able as a desktop computer. More like a laptop, but even less so it would seem.

I have yet to purchase an android handset because none of them have all I want just yet. so i’m waiting. I plan on waiting no longer than the end of this year, and i’m very sure that early-middle next year there will be a phone to make me wish i had waited, but that’s just the way it is. I know i’ll hold on to the phone i buy at the end of this year for the next 2-5 years. No matter what! I also know that if i buy the sony experia, it won’t have HTC Sense anymore than the motorola morrison or sholes would!

Then there is rooting! …oh the options! That is what is great about android …but get your heads on straight …it’s not all google! I didn’t even discuss carriers! :)

For all of you griping that you may not get future updates… its not like your going to get downgraded firmware… You will still have 1.5, your phone will still work like it does now… So if you like your phone now, then it wont be much difference…

Now, my only concern is that if they release 2.0 for other android phones and not for the G1… the G1 may get screwed as far as apps goes because they will require 2.0 to work.

Well I don’t get your point abut apps. If the G1 gets stuck at Cupcake, do you think donut apps will run on cupcake? How long do you think app providers will support both? This is what really stinks.
