The situation has changed in the last year or two. Especially since Sony Ericsson and Dell took such a beating for shipping old OS releases and refusing to offer quick upgrades. The only new devices on 2.1 which I don't know to have a clear upgrade path to 2.2 are the HTC Legend and Wildfire. And an upgrade is rumoured to be in the works for those too. It has become clear to the manufacturers that OS releases are something that matter. I am optimistic about the future of these devices.
- bphogan 16y agoThe HTC Hero and Samsung Moment (both Sprint) are EOL as of July 2010. No 2.2 or future upgrades for those devices. I expect this to continue with future phones. I've had a Sprint store employee basically tell me that they expect you to get a new phone every two years because things change so rapidly. But I just got my phone in May. So two months later, no new upgrades.
