Android 2.0 on Hero - HTC, this is an outrage!

[G8D]

But my point is: why would/should it be a sketchy ETA?

Overestimate. Whack a load of contingency time in there. There must be a PLAN though, and a schedule. There isn't some team of stoners sat around scratching their collective arses and doing it as fast as they can (dude).

I am hearing December the 11/12th from a few different sites. Granted; that could be from the same B/S source - but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm not outraged by any stretch, but I am growing impatient.

I too would be much happier if HTC were consistently releasing bug-ridden images of the 2.0 with Sense, teasing us with all of these cool new features.

I to am growing impatient, but it will come and it will be worth the wait knowing HTC.

Personally I'm not fussed about the Sense upgrades, they're a pretty but CPU intensive coating on some substandard apps.

Aesthetics>everything else.

CPU intensive? There is hardly any difference between stock and Sense from my experience.

could you please explain what exactly you will get out of Android 2.0? Google nav and maybe some hardware optimization? Besides that what benefits are you looking for in terms of a sense UI built on 2.0. I mean, it's one thing if you're running stock android then yes 1.5 is missing a lot of the things 2.0 has. But from my understanding, Sense was made to put these things in place. 2.0 seems to give people with stock android some of the stuff that people with sense UI on 1.5 have had all along

if I'm wrong please correct me and explain what exactly you'll be getting out of having sense on 2.0 besides being able to say that you have android 2.0...

THAT ISN'T THE POINT! They are saying that we are being abandoned by our provider! We need to get the update because EVERYONE ELSE HAS IT. That's 90% of the reason anyone gets anything, because EVERYONE ELSE HAS IT.

I want the app store to clamber out of the stone age.

agreed.

based on that graph only 1/4 of the people have 2.0 (most of which are Droid owners who have had their phones for just over a month). And it seems apparent that HTC will be releasing Sense for 2.1 (which isn't even out yet!) in the not too distant future.

But you're right, your view is a much more mature way to look at it...

 

[kwiksand]

I want, I want, I want.

I'd have vanilla android on 2.0 over sense on 1.5 any day.

Why don't you install the AOSP 2.0 from XDA Forums then? Apart from a few steps to install it and a slight (*cough*) issue with Calendar sync and battery drainage its near perfect.

I can tell you I'll be changing back to Sense as soon as I can though, I forgot how damn ugly stock Android is.

Will this update the Sprint HTC Hero, whenever the update is released?

 

[DGalt]

isn't that what this thread is about?

 

[daffyduck]

This thread is now boring me - the OP needs to get a life.......
Even though I love my Hero, HTC is under no obligation to support their phone beyond what is originally sold. We should be grateful that they "seem" to want to support their growing customer base!

This thread has run it course, and has degenerated to name calling (again)

2.0 (or 2.1) will be ready, when it's ready.
