I have to agree with you on this. Being a college student doesn’t exactly leave you with massive amounts of free cash (unless you were rich in the first place, then this doesn’t apply.) I’d love to have a nexus one and be on the bleeding edge …. but maybe i just can’t justify spending $500 dollars on the phone (awesome as it is.) I would settle for a stripped down version of 2.0/2.1 . I mean how can that possibly be worse than being on doughnut right? The stripped down version might still have more features than 1.6.

Me again … Last line excuse …

@Kelly
There are many users that don’t even risk root if they’re given a step by step installation tutorial.

Info fm. T-Mobile Germany – there will definitely be no update to 2.0 or 2.1 ever. They just plan some minor corrections with 1.6 .

I don’t have the technical background. Can anybody tell me, how ‘ thinking ‘ developers can build a phone that has 70 MB available for the OS to start with and a system partition of 68.8 MB ?

This,to me, looks not only stupid but cynical since these guys will have known that there is no ‘space’ for future updates :-(((

Expuse my limited English please, am German.

I think it’s very possible to fit 2.0 by installing a boot manager to the system partition and installing the actual OS on your SD card or in another partition. For example, puppylinux can be installed to any partition on a drive. You then install GRUB into the MBR on the system partition and viola! you can boot an OS image from any partition.

I like that last line in the artical that says
“Flashing a new SPL also presents new problems because it erases all data on the device (which is a big no-no when it comes to everyday customers”

Thats like the first thing customer reps ask you to do, is to reset the phone, they are useless.

I want 2.0 on my G1 :)
Who else?
