It WAS open source (under the Apache style license) until they commercialized the code and placed their own variant of Android onto the phone. Which is perfectly fine. That's a major reason it's licensed with the Apache instead of the GPL. There is NO WAY TMobile would supply you with the source code they used to build the versions of the OS which run on their supported devices. It's now in a closed system.
Now that they have done so, they dang well better support it for their paying customers-- or notify the users at the time of purchase that the phone itself is not officially supported. Nevertheless, I'm not at all surprised. I never could get support for a bug in my ultra basic Samsung phone who's calendar puts schedules on the wrong days. I verified the bug with customer support and they claimed it was just my tuff luck. I fought back and got another phone model at a steep discount. But I still had to hand over money. It's just the way the world works. Justin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
