My face really can't palm hard enough.

I'm assuming that you went from the BH2 to the MyTouch. You downgraded from a phone that was eventually confirmed not to be receiving anything past 1.6 and you magically assume that the MyTouch would be treated any differently? I know they are from different companies but take a look at some Quadrant screen shots, and pay real close attention to where they place the Magic on that list.

Yes, I'm aware that CM and co have a stable build of 2.2 released, but they are a group that mod for pleasure, not for profit. If you were a major corporation only in business because you are trying to make money, would you put your resources into a dated phone? Really? Would you?

If you want something that has a slim chance of being officially updated, post launch, buy something that hasn't been out for over a year and spend extra money on it. If you don't you will be left out in the cold or forced to put custom firmware on your device.

Pray that it does happen ... we might be able negotiate our way into the G2 and/or Mytouch HD for free.

Especially since they basically all but guaranteed us 2.2 in the Mytouch magazine.

My optimistic side says that surely they'll push out an official 2.x update before its end of life, considering that they said they would in the myTouch magazine. ( T-Mobile Says ‘No Phones Left Behind,’ myTouch 3G Will Get Android 2.2 | Android Phone Fans )

But my realistic side says they're a bunch of liars.

anyway, cheers to CyanogenMod 6!

If you were a major corporation only in business because you are trying to make money, would you put your resources into a dated phone? Really? Would you? I think Tmobile needs to stop saying that they are going to update something and then not. Have any other their phones sucessfully been updated to 2.x?

The bh2 was a pos. Sure the bh2 has a amoled screen but it's not anything noticably better then the mt3g. IMO the mt3g is a much better phone. I don't care that it's a year old. I love the mt3g as is with 1.6. I did my research before I got the mt3g and I really didn't want/don't need something of the Vibrant caliber. The mt3g is exactly what I wanted. I really don't care if we don't get 2.x but it would be nice.

Bring it Merf!!! jk.
