maybe they can do the same as sony with its psp, the first one have less rom memory than the new versions, but you are still able to install the last firmwares on the first psp, taking out things such as themes so it can fit on the first psp rom memory

Its not as simple for T-Mobile to provide the Danger SPL OTA sytle because it may corrupt or damage the system partition and it would require all the users data be deleted and start from scratch. Most customers are previous owners of sidekicks or aren’t as tech savvy therefore this would cause confusion for many. I will be able to install it anyway and so will all root users but to me T-Mobile needs to get out another android phone soon with better specs like the droid cause I need another android phone ASAP

Crow,

HTC and Hero both Have more physical memory. Danger gives about 17 megs more space, but gets you nowhere near those devices.

The G1 will be able to take on even more future updates if HTC and Tmobile provide an official SPL update that repartitions /data to be larger. The popular “Danger SPL” already dose this and my G1 currently as the same partition sizes that the mytouch and hero have. The average user just needs an official SPL upgrade to deal with this particular issue.

I really do hope we see Android 2.0 officially on the G1 without having to root it. If not, I am going to be really dissapointed in Tmobile. They could at least offer current G1 owners an early upgrade at the full discount price if this becomes the case. Like someone mentioned above…. even apple supported the old iphone with an update. Hopefully HTC, Tmobile, and Google will do the same.

I would not be surprised if the G1 doesn’t get an official update to 2.0. This way, they’ll ‘force’ the users to buy new handsets. I don’t like apple, but you can say atleast their software was compatible with all versions of their toys — even the 2g iphone from the summer of 2007. Also, their software was available to all devices at the same time. Htc should have similar support for all their android devices.

I was reading where some are wondering if Google did suggest the current memory size in order to force people to remote centralized storage. If they knew about it as long as they did, why allow the memory size to stay as is unless that is it?

I disagree with eli_the_great89 that the G1 is the best slider phone to date. I’m sorry, but I have the Moto Cliq and it is the best slider phone to date with a on screen keyboard and great physical keyboard. I just wanna know when and if the Cliq will get the android 1.6 or android 2.0 update. The phone works great know, but I want more. The phone definetly has the RAM memory to support the firmware. Come on Tmobile and Motorola let’s see if you can’t give us an early Christmas gift and give us the OTA android 2.0 with the new Moto Blur firmware and software.

I can’t wait for an Android device that has enough built in ROM and 32-64 GB of INTERNAL memory and a physical keyboard…

Ah that would be amazing…
