What's the point? Your warranty is gone, you have nothing to gain! You're there! Stop bitching and start bugging cyanogen for some gingerbread! Everybody in this thread has the ability to be on 2.2 right now, yet we're killing Rogers for not having an "official" 2.1 ready to go. I can't decide if it's hilarious or sad. Why make a blog about how you want an official update from your provider when in less time than it took to make that blog you can be running the very latest stuff that's only official on a very very small handful of phones? It makes no sense!
I'm waiting for an update because...I'm not sure why. I'm not rooted, I'm running the 911 update and am very happy with it. I'll update my phone when Rogers has an update for my phone.

As I read more and more of this thread, you've made it painfully obvious that you know little about Android development.
While the Rogers update does lag behind modder realeases like Cyanogenmod, where do you think the proprietary components of the OS come from?
AOSP can only provide so much of the Android OS core code. Drivers for specific devices are proprietary and the source code for these drivers will never be released to the public.
The 2.1 update to Rogers' HTC Magic will provide invaluable kernel hints and drivers to fix various problems (memory leaks, camera drivers, etc) plaguing modders with their 2.1/2.2 ROMs on the 6.35 Radio.
Just because YOU are happy being inert and doing nothing about getting the latest updates, it DOES NOT mean everyone else is stupid or sad for wanting their update.
Also not everyone wants to root yet want to be able to use 1.6/2.1/2.2 only apps. You can't do that with 1.5. Without some pressure from the likes of Mike we would still be wallowing in 1.5 with no prospect of 2.1.
