What I do know is that I bought my phone knowing full well that both the hardware and 1.5 were yesterday's tech. I researched my options, and I made my own choice. Neither Sprint nor HTC held a gun to my head, the responsibility for the result is mine alone. I understand all the fragmentation arguments. The bottom line point is, each of us knowingly bought an obsolete phone, by choice, so what do we have to complain about? The update will come when it comes. Patience cures stress.

I've rooted mine and I'm currently running 2.1 with Sense. Everything works for me except VVM, because it is based on a VZW build, but that will be resolved once the Sprint version drops. Everything else works, and works well. I can pretty much all but promise that you are all going to very happy campers. 2.1 works much smoother and snappier than 1.5 ever did, the browser is faster, the Flash works great, multi-touch implementation is terrific, and my battery life is much improved. New apps such as Goggles are amazing.

Rooting is not for everyone, I understand the reasons, I get it, no argument. If you want to try rooting, you can get in on this. If not, then patience is your friend. But blaming Sprint or HTC for the choice you yourself made at the time is, IMO, selfish at best, or at worst, delusional. Relax.
