Rogers uses a branded version of android. Thats why we haven't received it yet. The software is changed and in a few ways restricted. Thats why theres no onscreen keyboard on rogers htc dreams. Its easy enough to re-add but the rogers version of android doesn't have it.
So when 1.6 came out rogers techs would have to go through the entire OS and create a new branded version for rogers. Now 2.0 is coming out right away which means its time to start again. Thats probably why they are waiting for 2.0 It makes economic sense.
Now the problem. I don't want Rogers standing over my shoulder saying what I can and can't do with service I pay for. Thats why I would say using a fresh copy of android would be a better solution. Rogers won't listen unless theres a mass uproar thats organized. No large company will. The media wont give you attention unless theres a community push.
If you really want to get Rogers attention I would suggest an online petition or anti android rogers service group on facebook. Then get the media to ride the bandwagon.
