Nah, in October 2010 the first G1 owners' two-year contracts will start ending and they'll get offers for cheap or free upgrades to newer phones. Within a year or two this will happen to most people who bought a first- or second-generation Android device.
At least in the US, the carriers' subscription and hardware subsidy model will guarantee steady turnover in smartphones.
- SomeCallMeTim 16y agoMy G1 auto-updated to 1.6 a long time ago; it's other phones that haven't been updated from 1.5. Or non-US G1s? I'm on T-Mobile here in the US.
- gte910h 16y agoThe MOTO Cliq is stuck on 1.5. The G1 runs 1.6 just fine.
- veemjeem 16y agomy htc on tmobile was stuck on 1.5, I had to do a bit of googling and some command line hackery to upgrade it. I'm guessing most moms & dads are not going to know what to with a command line prompt, even with great instructions.
