I NEED WEEK VIEW! Who in their right mind would omit this? HTC, PLEASE add this in your next update!!!!

The Samsung Moment is a Google Experience phone and is still shipping with 1.5.

I’m not terribly impressed with any of the phone makers’ software I’ve seen so far. I’ll stick with plain ol’ Google Experience, thanks. I can customize that plenty to meet my needs using apps from the market.

+1 to this

I agree.. to me its important to know that my next phone will update OTA. I wish the Android & Me’s of the world would start asking that question as one of the specs..

htc should just make sense an apk that users can install if they want

I like the look and feel of the Sense UI, and I like the messages, wlan, gps and bt widgets, the flickr and facebook integration although I wish the facebook stuff was simply a info sync from facebook into my google contacts.

But three home screens is enough, I’ve never changes scene, the HTC calendar is lacking week view, it’s annoying that the browser hides the notification bar, the multi-touch features are pretty much useless and I found out when updating that I really want OTA updates (the update process via a Windows computer wasn’t very user-friendly).

So most of the stuff I actually like about the Hero could’ve been done without sacrificing the Google Experience. :\

Hopefully things will improve with the Eclair update for the Hero. :)

I saw this problem with custom UIs from the very beginning and will only get a phone if it has the stock Android OS on it. I was thinking about switching to Sprint and getting the Moment since it is a Google experience phone but I’m going to hold off on that. I need to see how they plan to handle future updates since this will be their first phone with stock Android on it.

Lol that’s y dnt root yet..just waiting for stuff to get better. Really hope 2.0 comes to the g1.
