Duncan, you do realise that this is because of the major hardware differences on the various different manufacturers phones on Android out there. Simply loading the software on to any phone would cause problems. The builds have to be tweaked to run correctly. Although this can be a pain, watching some get 2.1 and others not for several months, this shows how versatility the Android platform is, and why, unless Apple do something about it, Android will take over the market sooner or later. It is the vast array of phones running android, compared to the three Apple phones, that will change everything. The only thing Apple have an advantage on at present is their on-line market. The Android market place is growing though, so it’s just a matter of time.

You know I never thought I would say this but I’m being edged towards the iPhone. Im an HTC Hero user and still on 1.5. At least when an iPhone update is released everyone gets it and nobodys left waiting in a jealous huff.

When it comes, I hope it will be worth the wait. As far as being at the mercy of carriers, I’m glad I rooted my Hero as soon as I got it. MoDaCo has proved that his custom ROM’s outstrip HTC’s ROM’s or any carrier based ROM’s in terms of speed and performance. I’ll stick with him.

I can’t wait for this update! I’m on Orange UK, but as soon as HTC release their build, the likes of Modaco will release nice clean custom builds with root. Can’t wait!

The expected date for this is “March 2010″, so not long to wait now :D

QUOTE “they made it clear that would ultimately be the carriers decision on what to include or disclude from the OTA update”. Well, for an OPEN system to allow the CARRIERS to decide what to do with EQUIPMENT I have PURCHASED and OWN is remarkable. There should be NO DUMBING DOWN of the equipment and if the handsets are crippled in any way from their capability then the US Attorney should be involved. Battery Life, gimme a break! I can understand items that have to do with SERVICES and the REVENUE potential, but BATTERY LIFE!?!?! Where do they get this stuff? I have yet to root my phone, but will with the drop of a hat if they CRIPPLE devices I OWN!!!

These people need to shut the f*** up and make it happen. I’m tired of hearing every other week that such and such phone “will be upgraded to 2.x at some point.” Say when or say nothing. You don’t need to keep reminding us that you have no idea you’ll be pushing the upgrade to us. I cannot believe these buffoons run big companies.
