Well instead of arguing we will just wait out the 9 days and see if your right. If you are then it will make your other absurd prediction believable.

Wouldnt that just be the 1.6 update? We already knew that was coming.
Yes we are getting something next week. We are getting... 1.6!
It doesn't matter if you think anything below 2.x is a phone left behind. T-Mobile is not asking for your opinion on that.

Stay with us
It was SAMSUNG that announced "No Phone Left Behind"... If we only get 1.6 that negates the "No Phone Left Behind" promise. And if so, then SAMSUNG is on the line for keeping their word. While Tmo is the carrier, SAMSUNG made the promise.
The technology is at 2.2 (Froyo has been released to the Nexus One)
However, anything below 2.1 is not current and therefore behind. In the above video the examples are using 2.1 as its lowest speed. At 1.6 we wouldn't even be *in* this picture, LOL! I have already run into several instances of not being able to install software because it is written to 2.x and later.
No Phone Left Behind is about Samsung. They have a chance to redeem themselves from the Behold 2 Fiasco. The CEO has put his company's name on the line with this one.
Whether or not they do keep their word remains to be seen, LOL
I stand corrected ty, Yahma. This is even BETTER since Tmo is releasing the update.
This new "promise" has no bearing on your current contract. You signed a contract of current terms, not things that may or may not happen in the future. This won't help your case. Give it up, this phone is getting 1.6.
True that this promise would not be actionable, but unlike Samsung, T-Mobile is a service company. They understand the value of not screwing over their customers. I'd be surprised if the BH2 ever got 2.1, but this promise might make it more likely for TMO to make offers to BH2 owners to keep them happy.
spiz...do You. I'll do me. You do your best to dictate to spiz, that is the end of your jurisdiction.
To the adults who have had a cell phone for more than a few years, you know that various things can impact your original agreement. This would not be the first time that a corporate change opened the door for discussion of early termination of the contract. It bears watching.
You're assuming that I'm not an adult because I understand how contracts work? I don't understand your logic. Or are you presuming that I'm crazy and make this stuff up?
Anyways, I'm just letting you know what I've found out from my experiences with TMobile specifically. When I asked customer loyalty about the terms of my contract, and whether or not the lack of an update could terminate my contract, they said that when you sign a contract, it is based on the current state of the phone.
I knew that would be their answer because I know that's how contracts work. Now, had their CEO came out and said something more concrete and specific, such as "Every one of our phones will receive 2.1 at the very least..." or something to that effect, then yes, this would be a completely different topic.
"No phone left behind" is very vague, and for all we know, that could mean "No phone will be left on 1.5." Do you see what I'm saying now?
There's no point in getting our hopes up over something that won't happen. That's all.
The CEO's reputation is on the line.
I highly doubt that... what will you do when this blows over and no one cares about the BH2 anymore?
You can GOOGLE the 411 on contractual loopholes. I for one have seen several instances where a company changed or implemented something and it impacted an original agreement. It happens all the time. Please tell me that you didn't ask *them* to interpret your agreement for you? That's like letting the fox guard the hen house. If the MyTouch is upgraded then they have to upgrade the Behold 2 to keep their word.
And "no phone" is not vague unless one doesn't understand English. It does not say "no phone EXCEPT"...It says NO PHONE left behind. Period. His words, not mine. It doesn't get more concrete than that.
Regarding this issue. We will know very soon what we'll be getting one way or the other. I am simply noting that if the technology is at 2.1 and 2.2 has been released to at least one phone (Nexus One in this case); That a phone at less than 2.1 is behind. And at six months old is at its end of life, with a "no phone left behind" promise hanging over it.
Will Tmo keep its CEO's promise of "No phone left behind?" We will see. The CEO's reputation is on the line.
And as to what you do?
hope it works out for ya.
