I don't think that any amount of complaining (to the president, with negative publicity, to the ombudsman, etc.) will do any good - I think that the decision has already been made not to upgrade because it just doesn't make economic sense for them to do so. I know that sounds quite pessimistic, but nonetheless it is a realistic conclusion given their track record (from winmo phones and others).
As a result of all of this, by the end of December if Rogers hasn't issued their update, I will take the plunge and root my phone and update it to the best of my abilities. I really don't want to do this, but I feel that I am being forced to do so by the lack of support from Rogers.
I hope I don't brick my phone!
I'm on the edge of rooting my Dream as well, I've downloaded everything I need to do the Rogers Dream EBI1 to CyanogenMod and have myself a nice little rooting package ready to go. If I don't see a firm date out of Rogers shortly, I'm going to go ahead and root the phone and install the Cyanogen Mod.
