"Hello Michael,
I understand your position here, needing a newer version of the Android operating system for certain applications. However, the information that you have read on the subject is the only information available; the decision to bring an update or an upgrade to market is made collaboratively with our carrier partners.
HTC and Rogers will shortly be releasing updates to both Dream and Magic that address several issues and provide enhancements to the user experience. These will remain on the Android 1.5 platform. We believe that Android 1.5 is a stable and reliable software platform that delivers a terrific user experience. I realize that this is the response that you do not want to hear, but I have in fact read your email.

Well, I believe that is the sense update that HTC has been distributing, beginning in Taiwan, since last November.
AFAIK, HTC has always stated that it won't update its own branded Magics beyond 1.5. But then, I hope with all this outcry, it may change its view. Otherwise, it will find that customers are wise enough and won't buy any HTC Android phone unless it is "Google" branded.
