2.1 in mid FEB......maybe

im not one to start rumors but this story was interesting even if it was regarding the euro hero
http://www.androidguys.com/2010/01/13/europes-htc-hero-to-get-android-2-1-mid-february/

AFAIK, the CDMA and GSM phones are actually very similar in software. The CDMA is pretty much a GSM phone that's been converted in software. Apparently the code is a mess with all the 'emulation' and transformation of stuff that takes place so it works on CDMA.
Either way, they did tweet that Sprint would get a 2.1 update anyway, so don't panic...

i knew our hero was getting the update but they(HTC,Sprint) gave a timeline as 1H of 2010. which is a lot room to swing.

That's the worst case scenario, to avoid excessive *****ing and idle threats for being late.

Every1 neeeeeds to be patient.if they decide to release the update then it'll happen..Maybe's and probably's r gettin old lol.no effense...

Watch.. All this hype and we will end up hating it and all go back to 1.5 with some sweet roms

Given the popularity of android even if google dropped the project (highly unlikely) an organized group of developers would most likely pick up the work and continue on with development. Hardware development around the OS would probably slow down and/or die without google backing the project anymore though.

When 2.1 update for hero, I think the andriod 3.0 has already come out. Andriod is not so good, need more to improve.

its not android... its the companies if they have it out OBVIOUSLY its available its up to sprint and all the other companies htc moto etc to port it to their devices lol should be kicked off the website for that kinda blasphemy

lmao at winmo fanboys

just had a guy at ppcgeeks tell me Android is to the mobile market what Linux is to the desktop market. talk about having your heads in the clouds. im soo glad i ditched winmo and moved to the hero. after seeing the disaster of wm7 today i made the right move.

Wow haha... that man has been misinformed obviously. MyTouch 3G? Droid? Nexus One? The only Android phone I could really say that would fit his description would be the Samsung moment (haven't heard of many people with one).

Sound like the grown adult man working as a parking lot attendant living on the days of his tenure as a high school football player who scored the winning touchdown.they will catch up soon or later

Cant and wont agree with the comment from the guy at PPG, however the 7 phone is far from a disaster and I fully believe that it will bring WinMo back from the dead...even more so than WebOS did for Palm. Its look features, and functionality beats the **** out of everything on the market except Android. Anyway, I'm with Android to stay (though maybe not Sence next time around).

Meanwhile, you can expect a bit of cockiness from the WM guys. I know, I used to be one!

I think the Winmo 7 phone will be decent. Yes it's a totally new UI for it and the apps aren't backwards-compatible, but hacks will eventually come out for it.

Recovering the costs of new development, and gathering anticipated profits to MS (or any other large company) will have to be realized before any new stuff is released. So they will slow the industry momentum down in order to maximize the money that can make. Money is fine. Slowing everything down sucks.
Now they can slow things down by screwing up others, ie.. specifications for open systems designs and so forth.
Only when they see their customer base being reduced (-14% winmo) will they react.
Google on the other hand supplies a "cloud base" and should be impervious to change costs on platforms. That could mean the introduction of new platforms and system upgrades. Certainly a more open environment.

Newer Nexus One's to feature HTC's new maxTouch technology?

Do you think it'll happen? There has been rumors floating around about it.

Doubt it.
Where are the rumours from? here?

Damn the title got me excited. Well I sure hope so because I was planning on ordering a nexus one in 41 days when i'm 22 months into my t-mobile contract. Could you please link us to a news article that talks about this. Thanks

I was on someone else's computer and don't have the link for it though. Sorry.

Id sell this and buy a new one.

I don't know if the newer batch of Nexus One will have this new feature/digitizer technology, but endgadget did mentioned that HTC droid incredible does uses this new technology.

that would blow

Why would that blow? How can anyone expect the hardware world not to continue evolving. There will always be something better than what you have... if you have the best right now, something is about to come out that beats it. You can't expect that new technology in an embedded device, such as a phone, will take the place of older technology used in current generation devices.
There is no reason to believe that HTC is going to change their manufacturing process for the Nexus One, or any of their currently released phones. The new technology will be in place for NEW devices, it would be quite odd for them to just start making Nexus Ones with different hardware simply because that hardware exists in the new devices they are manufacturing.

Not when you can still say "warranty exchange."

Actually, judging by how fast google goes through versions and software (look at Chrome browser, already at 4.0 or 5.0), google is probably already testing Nexus Two. That thing'll probably have new screen.
They got a contract with current screen manufacturer, I bet they won't worry about switching now.

Google shows that this is the start of this rumor....

For some reason I believe this a stupid question. The bashing and returns that would occur after this change, and the complaints and people maybe even wanting their money back would be so gradual it would cause a bad costly uproar.
People would form small not needed hate groups, make *****y blog post about how Google somehow "scamed" customers, Google's name would be flamed harshly by people who want attention. I could just imagine this happening..

ya, it would blow if they implemented this "new technology" on a phone thats already out.
kinda like what they did with the myTouch. they add a 3.5mm jack?? thats lame because all the people who own the phone previous to this launch now want that phone but cant get it because they just bought the other version like two months earlier (and just in case you take this literally I'M GENERALIZING)

by the COMPLETE lack of info from Google itself regarding Gingerbread?

No

yes, this time it seems they were very tight since nothing has leaked out. a couple of pictures here and there but thats all.

It's kinda secrative and exciting all at the same time!

Heh, seriously, who cares? They don't HAVE to....the less info leaks, the more of a surprise effect it will have, meaning more publicity, public enjoyment (if it was well done) and so on...
I honestly don't care since I enjoy my Nexus every minute I use it! It still would be nice to get Gingerbread this week since it will bring new things, new fun, new everything

I thought your spam was concise and detailed enough so that it didn't warrant a concise and detailed response as to why Google is being tight lipped about their upcoming intellectual property release.

I think they were somewhat revealing at the I/O.

Whenever I start longing for gingerbread I just thank God I don't have a Samsung vibrant, they're still waiting for froyo which was supposed to come like a month ago. I'm just happy to have a Samsung so I avoid Samsung's proverbial "jerk around". By the time they get froyo we will he knee deep in gingerbread. Poor bastards

Android is supposed to be open. At least that is what I heard.
Also, developers might find information regarding future releases and resulting API changes useful, ahead of time.

quick someone leave their n2 with 2.3 installed on their dinner table and walk off casually so some bloke can pick it up and hook the rest of us up!

Google wants to know everything about everyone, but they hold their cards close to the chest.

So I hate this Blackberry I'm on...

So for those of you that don't know me, or haven't seen, my Evo, long story short got stolen yesterday before my Calculus III class. So today my mom sent me my sister's blackberry curve for a temp, as its going to take between 7-10 days to get my replacement evo. Let me just say that going from my rooted phone that exudes awesomeness, that this blackberry is garbage...I hate the keyboard and so tiny...and I can only have ONE alarm. Seriously? [sad face]

Well I don't think I've committed anything worthy of forum greatness personally, but perhaps. They could have found, it but of course being me, my gps was off. Had a bad esn placed on it and temporarily deactivated it though.

Yeah that is a bummer! As far as all the 'find my -' apps go, are there any that can have GPS ENABLED by instruction / a message?
Again, total bummer.

Depending on the rom you use, some of the sense roms that are sense 2.0 based have a phone finder built in. Blackberry isn't bad, it's a business phone. It's not made to be flashy, it's just made to work. I don't like it since it doesn't fit my wants in a smartphone, but hey it does what it's made to do.

I completely agree, and that's exactly why I hate it; it doesn't fit what I need it to do in a smartphone. And I'm still kinda ticked that I can only have 1 alarm...and I have 2 different class times on m/w and t/th so changing it daily is a pain.

Yeah have found one that says it can remotely enable GPS and one stating that if off it can use network location. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough. That or it has been so long thought it wasn't likely. Damn, posts like these always get me thinking about having my phone stolen. Bummer.

I can relate. I have a curve that work gave me. A lot of my friends have BBM, so I end up typing on that and I HATE it. i don't bother correcting typos b/c there are way to many with my fingers hitting like 50 keys at once. Good to know about the new alarm thing. That was bugging me too.

Throw a hybrid OS on it. Just download any BB OS, then go to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion (RIM)...then extract the folder named "Java" and play around with the .cod modules.

For one its boring, the keypad is tiny, no angry birds, lol. I tried to make my wife take it, that only lasted on day though, lol. She calls it a blueberry and has been walking around the house saying "no evo no evo", now my kids have joined her! grrrrrr Hurry up mailman! I feel your pain
