HTC Magic on Rogers Gets Update to Android 2.1
|
There is no denying the people what they want, and when they get vocal about it chances are they will get their way. At least that is the case with Rogers and Android 2.1 for the HTC Magic. A small but vocal community cropped up to fight for their right for updates on the handset locked to the carrier, and their voices have been heard as the update to Android 2.1 is now rolling out. Rogers’ Mary Pretotto confirmed the update on Twitter, though the new version of the OS has not been appearing for all.
As always, you can check for your update and possibly force the system to download it by navigating to Settings > About Phone > Software Update Check > Check Manually. It seems with the latest update the crowd at IWantMyOnePointSix.com feels safe to call it quits. What, there won’t be an I Want My Froyo movement? Keep fighting the good fight!

wow, arent tmobile magic (mt3g) users still on 1.6? lame
Rogers’ Magic is the one with 256mb RAMm, isn’t it?
Sadly, RogersMary also recently confirmed that there will be absolutely no update to 2.2 for the Magic.
Personally, I don’t feel like having to fight another whole year to _maybe_ get it when everyone else is likely on Android 4!
Also, given that Rogers hasn’t had an HTC Android phone _since_ the Dream and Magic, I wonder if the rumours are true about Rogers’ relationship with HTC? Guess we’ll see if they carry any more HTC android phones going forward.
