Okay, y'all, we finally got an official response from RogersMary, and I am afraid it is not _exactly_ what we wanted to hear.
Mary officially confirmed that HTC is on track to deliver the Magic 2.1 update to Rogers by end of June of this year. Then Rogers will be testing it before releasing it to us. She won't say how long that will take, only that they want to be sure it will work on their network, and our phones.
Here is her email:
"You've been asking when the 2.1 OS upgrade for HTC Magic+ will be available and I want to ensure you that this is a very high priority for us. Rogers made a commitment to the Android community to deliver the best possible customer experience for their Android device and so we have been working closely with HTC to make certain we're on track for a mid-year release. As of today, HTC has committed to providing us the Magic+ upgrade by end of June. Once we've received the upgrade, we will thoroughly test it and make it available to the customer as quickly as possible."
I pointed out in my reply to her that this will NOT make us happy, since we were led to believe we would be getting the update by end of June, but now we will have to wait longer. I asked for an update on how long it will take for Rogers to test. Here is her reply:
"In terms of how long our testing will take, I can't say for sure but when I do have a solid customer release date I'll share that as well. I'm not a testing expert but I do know the priority is to ensure it provides an optimal customer experience. Once we receive the update, I'll check in with Dan to see how it's going."
So, more non-answers. Feel free to bug the Rogers team on Twitter until they give us a better answer.
