Alright, that's it. Come on HTC! You're going to let all the Hero owners down by not releasing 2.2 for it?? WTF? Everyone else is getting 2.2! It'll only make the Hero faster and better!]]>Jul 30th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/
Don't feed the troll guys. Only I can handle him because I don't give a shit.

"droid is garbage. whats the point of a d-pad on a TOUCHSCREEN PHONE."
Emulators. Also for editing text when typing with the physical keyboard without relocating your hands.

"i can understand arrow keys, but not a pad that took up all that space. "
Know what? I'm going to agree with you on that. Only advantage, again, is emulators. Having a full d-pad instead of just arrow keys makes this thing a wonderful gaming platform.

"they could have used that space to make the keys off-set, but no, they'd rather make the keys look like they were straight from an 80's calculator."
That's the cool style of the phone. The keys are great to type with. They look and feel teriffic.]]>Jul 30th 2010 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/

If your argument is that Android is 'fragmented' and iOS is not, you'd best think again:

Those of us that own an iPhone, iPod Touch, and an iPad, also know about mobile OS 'fragmentation' all too well, given that we're still waiting for all these devices receive the same version update.

Android may be 'fragmented', but at least Goole appears to truly address customer needs/desires in a timely manner, without a bunch of lame excuses and easily debunked finger-pointing.

Just Saying... as one who supports both platforms.]]>Jul 30th 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/

Hahaha! If only his argument were that laughable and thought out. In fact, he's a Windows Phone 7 fanboy. A fanboy for a product that hasn't been released yet. Hey, I'm willing to give props where they're needed, but WP7 hasn't even been released yet. Can we hold back the fanboyism till then?]]>Jul 30th 2010 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/

There's really no need for name-calling, especially from someone who's bragging about products not yet available.

Like I posted before, you might want to hold-off on all the bragging until WinMoPho7s actually becomes a consumer product.]]>Jul 30th 2010 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/
NO FRIGGIN DUH! Way to state the obvious! *kicks can* stupid Droids getting all the cool updates. lol

Hopefully Google will release code that is at leas compatible for the Hero or that the devs at XDA will make a foolproof update to 2.2...

WOO! what was considered an excellent phone half a year ago still seems excellent to me (although maybe not others...) and im still crossing my fingers for gingerbread when it comes out :)]]>Jul 30th 2010 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 30th 2010 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Did the troll actually mention iOS?
Nope, he was talking about Windows phone which, of course, is always available for update to the latest version? Yeah, right,
Face it, it is not in any suppliers interest to have you update our device to the latest and greatest. They'd much rather you buy a new one and, to be honest, people would much rather have a new one anyway.
Two years is the max you will get beacuse that is the normal contract duration. Maybe one more version on the Droid, 2 on the Droid X and 2. About the same as yo get from Apple but a darn sight better than any previous Win-phone version.
Of course, the root-ers and jailbreakers will make it available if you've got the time and patience but 90%+ of buyers won't and the manufacturers know it.]]>Jul 30th 2010 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 30th 2010 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/

Win phail 7 is a boring, boxy, closed piece of shit.]]>Jul 30th 2010 7:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/
One of the funniest, and most ironic, things about both you handle and attitude is that...

As much as I (personally) like WinPho7s' GUI design, at this point it appears that end users have no choice but to accept it since they won't be able to change it.

At least with Android, if you don't happen to like the GUI/home-screen, there are an infinite number of customized skins, widgets and variation one can utilized to suit their individual taste/needs... Note: my very favorite being Launcher Pro Plus, which happens to be shockingly smooth, fast, elegant, and highly customizable.

Choice... Is Good]]>Jul 30th 2010 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 30th 2010 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/

You mean the ability to log into your xbox live account and see your dumb avatar? How stupid and pointless. There's one known turn based game in development and yeah, those are available for android too. There are plenty of good music players for android as well.

Yup, phail 7 is boring and dumb. Talk about ugly, just look at those monochrome boxes with a black background. In android you can change it to your liking and it varies widely depending on the phone. Phail 7 reminds me of a UI from 1998.]]>Jul 30th 2010 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 30th 2010 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 31st 2010 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 31st 2010 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 31st 2010 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 31st 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/I want my 2.2 love]]>Aug 1st 2010 1:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 30th 2010 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 30th 2010 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/Jul 30th 2010 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/motorola-droid-getting-android-2-2-next-week/
