This is what HTC says
I understand the desire to have the most up to date operating system for your device. It is at the discretion of Rogers as to when, or even if, updates to Android 2.0 or 2.1 will be made available for devices branded to their network. If they do wish for such an update to be created, our development department must work with Rogers in order to tailor the update to their specific desires and needs. At this time we do not have any information as to when or even if such an update will be made available in the future for Rogers branded devices.

2009/12/22 06:26 Andrew So tell me what can we do as a consumer in order to get 1.6 or 2.0 update?
2009/12/22 06:23 Andrew Doesn't that makes the phone sound like obsolete? If i just want a working phone. I would have got a normal flip phone instead of a smartphone.

2009/12/22 06:21 Andrew Is that mean that we won't get to enjoy any apps that are written for 1.6 and above or the features that comes with 1.6 or 2.0 or even 2.1?
Hello Andrew,
What this means is that you will only have access to features and applications designed for use with the Android 1.5 operating system. As for what you can do to get 1.6 or 2.0 for your device, you and others will need to express your interest in such updates to Rogers and persuade them to request that we develope such updates.
