    Default Android 2.0 OTA updates???


    Newbe here. Wondering how long before everyone can run the Android 2.0? I am looking at getting an Android phone but stuck at TMo for now. It really p!sses me off that VZW is already a generation ahead w/ the Motorola Droid and TMo can't do much about it.

    So I am just curious if anyone knows how long it would be before everyone gets the update.

    I really find it hard to believe that the vzw droid will have android 2.0 much longer than everyone else. I imagine as we get closer to the Nov 8 release date (or even the 28 advertisement date) google will release the 2.0 sdk and cyno or someone else will release a legal 2.0 build for G1.

    tmo has the BEST selection of android phones around . when 2.0 comes around , it comes around (probably by the end of the year) . by then tmo will even have more android phones , running 2.0 ! verizons phone isnt out yet , so it not a generation ahead . most likely , 2.0 will come around not long after the droid is released . it just makes sense , why would developers be making applications for 1.6 AND 2.0 separately ?

    I was thinking Google might have a contract w/ Motorola & Verizon that gives them exclusivity for... months?

    I thought some phones still don't have 1.6 yet?

    EDIT: The Cliq doesn't offer much over the MyTouch except the physical keyboard, which I like. But the VZW Droid has a LOT more plus the 2.0. The Behold 2 looks as good as the Droid but w/o the keyboard. I could be happy with the Cliq if I knew the 2.0 update wasn't too far off.

    ive been running 1.6 for the past 2.5 month , officially its been out since 0ct 1st . i think , just like with the other updates , rooted phones will have access to 2.0 way before any official update comes out . btw , rooting is similar to jailbreaking an iphoney( ) . as of now , some of us are already using a certain few apps that are going to be in 2.0 , mainly the updated maps app(insane !) and youtube .

    what do you mean alot more? the droid isnt running a custom ROM like the cliq is, its just running basic 2.0
