The whole issue surrounding Rogers and the Android 1.6 update has now come to an end albeit not being a good for early Android adaptors in Canada (read: those who purchased the HTC Dream and Magic).
HTC Canada has posted an item on the product support page regarding this matter on their website which, according to BGR, has also been confirmed by Rogers as well. Here’s what they had to say about the Android 1.6 update as it pertains to Rogers’ HTC Dream and Magic handsets:
HTC is not currently planning any Android 1.6 upgrades for Rogers Dream or Magic. Android 1.6 was only made available for “Google”-branded devices such as the G1. It is not available for HTC-branded products such as the Dream or Magic, which use Android 1.5. We believe that Android 1.5 is a stable and reliable software platform that delivers a terrific user experience.
So it looks like it won’t be a merry Christmas and a much less happy New Year for those who bit on Roger’s Revolution campaign hook, line, and sinker. Here’s to hoping that Bell and Telus will be much wiser and won’t be following Rogers down the same path.
