It really sucks for us Cliq users because we payed just as much for the Cliq as we would have for the Droid! So why does the Droid get more attention and more regards. i want flash for the Cliq and i want an Upgrade for our Operating System.
- – - Droid – - –
- Android v2.0
- API LEVEL 5
- Camera Flash
- Flash Player ?
————————–
- – - Cliq – - -
- Android v1.5
- API LEVEL 3
- No Camera Flash
- NO Flash Player ?

Thanks i also agree with your statement. Off topic No one b***hes about Ubuntu releases even know there released on a timely manner and ther released every six months maybe Android wants to get on to that cycle or maybe just the Droid was lucky cause it was being built when the 2.0 was also being tested who really knows the behind the scenes type crap that goes on. I rather have a 2.0 thats almost fully bugged free then have a new release being kicked out two months later cause ov bugs that could have been solved before a offical release. Also they have to port the release to each phones Arch. And thats no easy task Hero runs different then G1 and so on. So just wait and if you dont have a Hero dont even get happy there the next to get the new OS since there behind a update. But what do i know I just know how to program for android and know none ov the behind the scene stuff so we can talk are BS but in the end 2.0 will come out when it comes out.

I feel like Motorola comments about buying a droid if you want 2.0 complete B.S.. So Motorola screw you and your phones I love HTC so as long as there around I need never to go back to my statement. But once the new google phone comes out then Ill test that sucker out. Its goin to be a hybrid ov the iPhone and the Hero damn thats going to be the phone that puts Google and Android on the map. WATCH OUT GOOGLE IS THE ANTI-CHRIST there taken over the world one person at a time.

I really hope that the g1 will get this update. I mean i love my g1 and I dont want to get rid of it plus I dont have the money for a new phone, so i agree with you on the discount thing. Anothe thing though, if 2.0 has already been ported to the G1 then hopefully we will get a decent running 2.0 OTA. and if we do and it is the last update that the G1 will get, they should let us know.I know im not the only one that thinks us G1 users should be kept in limbo.

Is there a place for us to officially petition T-Mo and HTC for help on this? Specifically, as a G1 user from day one, can we all get together somehow and ask them to at least spot us a generous discount on an Android upgrade or something?

I completely agree with you. It seems the general consensus in the android community, fuelled by the various news sites/blogs is that as soon as a new version of android is released, the carriers/handset manufacturers should be rolling it out right away or giving us a precise schedule for when that will happen.

There are any number of reasons why we will see significant delays between a new release of Android and OTA updates being rolled out, and its something people need to get used to. Carriers/Hardware manufacturers are reluctant to give us a specific release schedule in case of unforeseen delays.

For most consumers if the phones does what they expect they are not overly concerned about updates, most people will not be aware of the benefits that these updates may bring.

What they will notice is problems caused by a rushed software upgrade that has not been properly tested, after all the large majority of mobile phones users are not as tech savvy as a lot of us on here are.

I’m getting disappointed with the whiny tone of so many of the “Android-done-us-wrong” posts. Open-source, quasi-open-source, or closed-source, Android only exists because some companies (namely Google) want to make money from it. Just like me, and most of the Android app developers. Look at how long we have all waited for the opportunities the Android platform offers us. If you don’t like Android, go develop for the iPhone or Palm Pre.

If memory serves, Eclair was never supposed to come out until 2010 anyway. I remember being very surprised to hear that Droid would have 2.0 preshipped in November 2009, especially so soon after Donut got OTA’d to the G1’s.
