I bought mine 2 monthes ago as a new cellphone, Vodafone Portugal just released the Tattoo a few days ago and it's already discontinued by HTC...
My 2 month old android smartphone is already old and discontinued???? You gotta be kidding me.

I asked HTC about a month ago if i would get a Eclair update and they said they had no plans to do it.

At that moment i felt betrayed and used (and i still do) by HTC.

I do understand that 2.1 may be too much for Tattoo (dont know about 2.2) but i did expect to see some updates to fix issues like bluetooth file transfer - i'm using an old 20 buck cellphone (some obscure brand) with bluetooth and a 2mp camera (much better than the 3.2mp Tattoo cam)

What makes me nervous is that if you visit HTC support website, you will only see the lonely HTC Sync update (so you can sync in windows 7) well this update is useless for me as i uninstalled the old HTC Sync when i found out i had about 6 or so HTC services running on my windows, anyway i'm still able to transfer files in storage mode (not always...).

I know i wont have 2.1 but i do hope to see some issue fixing updates for my BRAND NEW DISCONTINUED HTC TATTO.

HTC just "forgot" about Tattoo (owners) and in a few monthes everyone will too, well, everyone but us.

Someone mentioned HTC Wildfire as beeing similar to Tattoo, well it isn't and if Wildfire is a cheap choice (dont know prices) it's a good choice:

- Tattoo has an old resistive screen with no multitouch (gotta admit its one of the best resistive screens)
- Wildfire has Capacitive screen with multi touch (this diference is kinda huge)

- Tattoo has the worst 3.2mp camera i ever saw with no autofocus and no flash (worst than most 2mp cameras)
- Wildfire has a nice 5mp camera with autofocus and a great flash

- Wildfire has some more less important stuff that Tattoo does not like a proximity sensor, light sensor, speech-to-text...

So watch out HTC you might get burned if you despize your customers like that.
