Re: [CGUYS] LG ALLY
My Sprint Samsung Moment is two versions back at Eclair 2.1.1 with little hope of an upgrade to Froyo 2.2 let alone Gingerbread. Apparently this is one either the manufacturer or the network depending on who thinks who should pay for the upgrade of older phones. I think though this will be a short sighted with people avoiding certain manufacturers due to their phones bad status with regard to upgrades. I like Samsung but if their phones are not getting upgrades that are feasible and HTC phones are getting those upgrades guess who is making is my next phone. This is one place where the Apple way is definitely the better way. All iPhones that are capable get the upgrade but there are some orphan iPhones out there.

Re: [CGUYS] LG ALLY
The older Droid may ship with 2.1 but it updates itself to 2.2.1 All of Verizon's line should be updating themselves to 2.2.1 as I was told that Ally would not ever get it. They no longer sell the Devour which shipped with 1.6 Stewart At 01:06 PM 1/23/2011, you wrote: Samsung galaxy on sprint is shipping with 2.1, this is the high water maker for android phones across all carriers.

Re: [CGUYS] LG ALLY
Samsung galaxy on sprint is shipping with 2.1, this is the high water maker for android phones across all carriers. The lower end hero is also shipping with 2.1, also currently available. These are just two I know off the top of my head...I'm sure other carriers are shipping 2.1 as well.

Re: [CGUYS] LG ALLY
That is possible, but there is not a phone being marketed right now that still uses 1.6 or 2.1 They are all being updated or pulled from the marker so it may be mutual. I know it is much simpler to be supporting only one level of OS on different platforms that a multiple levels of an OS over a bunch of platforms.

Re: [CGUYS] LG ALLY
It's not Google..it's LG and Verizon. Unless Google is putting presure on Verizon/LG that we don't know about. I view Google as creating the base OS and putting it outside their garage in whatever builds there are and phone manufacturers driving by and picking up what they want. Some 1.6, some 2.2..some 2.1. I don't think Google gives a you know what which OS these vendors are using. The two phones that of course bypass that scenario are the nexus phones. I'm still looking into rooting my EVO running 2.2. It is slightly more difficult than the literal one click root my hero had available. On Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 11:18 AM, Rev.

[CGUYS] LG ALLY
Well shiver me timbers, call me Ishmael. Last night during our sleeping hours, my wife's phone received an update. When my wife checked her version number it said 2.2.1. I checked and sure enough the Hot spot icon is in her apps. So it looks like Google has heard the calls and is trying to get all the current crop of phones on the same version of OS. (My Droid 2 came with 2.2.1) So thank you Verizon and Google for listening. Stewart Rev. Stewart A.
