No, I'm not disputing those numbers at all.
What I meant is - it wasn't a weird phone made by a fringe manufacturer.
The phone a Motorola Backflip - AFAIK, it still runs 1.5 outside the US,
and the 2.1 update in the US was not an OTA, so perhaps not everyone who
could update actually did.

This is interesting: according to the dashboard, less than 5% of
individual phones connecting to the Google Android Market are still
running 1.5. Yet you call that 1.5 phone, "a certain quite popular
phone".
How could this be? I am curious to hear how either 1) the dashboard
sampling could be that far off or 2) how popular this phone really is.
Can you post the make and model# of the phone without compromising
confidentiality?

I recently ran into some 1.5 issues with my widgets that were caused by a
certain quite popular phone that still runs 1.5 ignoring @dimen values.
So supporting 1.5, understood as some kind of pure Platonic form, is no
problem at all, but dealing with bugs in particular firmware versions is not
fun at all.
For now, both my apps continue to support 1.5, but a new project I'm working
on will only run on 1.6+ - because that's the first version with
multi-resolution support, and one really needs that these days.

For my own apps, I don't have a problem supporting 1.5, and I figure that
an extra 5% is nothing to sneeze at. But then, I've yet to run into anything
that was really problematic for me to support on 1.5. Some of the resource
handling is kind of annoying, but not really a big deal.
If I had some core feature that I just couldn't make backward-compatible,
then yes, I'd drop 1.5 too. But probably not until then, or until the
install percentage drops a few more points.
This. (Thanks for writing my post for me :-) )
