This is becoming a routine. A new great app is coming out for Android, but is does not support 1.5.
Even Google itself does not support this version since it is too old.
I am sick of this, it seems c.
We should get 2.0 already!!!
HTC, today's smart phones are measured in cool apps. You want to beat the IPhone, start moving your people and create this d*$m update.
HTC Hero - 2.0 or die
Dear me but you do seem to have a HECK of a lot of spare time on your hands. Normally I don't waste my time replying to such rabid fanboyishness but this is too ludicrous to ignore. So, I shall go point by point.
1. HTC doesn't owe us any new android updates.
2. The Hero has Android 1.5 PLUS HTC sense, so OF COURSE it's going to take a little longer to get it out to us.
3. Smartphones are NOT judged on 'cool apps.' They are also judged on design, ease of use, and speed, to name a few things.
4. Who are you to say that HTC doesn't care about its customers?
5.Why are you taking this so personally AND so seriously? WAIT and have some patience. Methinks that even when we get 2.1, you won't be happy beacuse by then something else will have caught your attention.
6. 'I did not say give us 2.0 or die regarding HTC (you should practice your reading comprehension a bit, nothing to be ashamed of)
HTC hero should get 2.0 or it will die - as in thrown to the garbage '
Saying 'something something or die' is generally interpreted that way, and not the way you said. So perhaps it is you who needs to brush up on reading comprehension.
Alos the Hero is a great phone even without 2.1. Why throw your toys out the cot over this? I'm sure there are other use for that white hot rage of yours.
7. 'I find it funny that people agreed to pay $600+ for a device and are so blind to what's going on around them...
...I find it funny that people agreed to pay $600+ for a device and are so blind to what's going on around them'
See point #2. I'd rather have a finished operating system than a buggy one released a little quicker because of impatience. I am quite happy to wait.
8. 'Believe me that I know how the software business works'
I find that so very hard to believe. What reason do you have to think that HCT isn't working on it? Why so much bile?
9. 'Why did you buy Android in the first place? it seems you are not the typical user. I thought my fellow users will be technical enthusiasts like me, people who like to get the latest version of everything and are not afraid to try new things'
Um...who are you to say who the 'typical user' is? To me, the typical Android user is someone who likes a fun phone, and is fairly laid back about the whole thing, NOT, for example, some shrill entitlement beast, but that's just my opinion. Some people prefer iphone type functionality, some are happy with Nokia's simplicity.
10. 'but as soon as you write anything against HTC here, an army of followers who kiss their feet just because they gave HTC Hero to us, will start accusing you in treachery'
It's not what you're saying, it's the way you're saying it, in the manner of a spoiled child denied sweets. WHY are you so angry and bitter about this?
Out of interest, why did you get a Hero?
11. 'I believe in customers power, and I don't think we will get anything if we just sit and wait. Instead of turning your frustration to HTC, you turn it on me. I guess some people like to be passive'
As opposed to, say, emailing HTC and asking when 2.1 is coming out? You have done that, right?
