Help answer the question about android gingerbread
android 3.0 update and htc sense?
Ok this may sound more like a rant than a question but after what i learned today and heard i had to ask some questions about it. Im getting the htc incredible really soon and “supposedly” its to be at the top of the android smartphone heap, even rivaling the iphone 4 now they’re saying 2 maybe 3 more smartphones are due out at the end of this year with 1.5 even 2 ghz processors that will put recent releases like the x and dinc at the bottom. is it wrong to be feeling like right when im about to buy the best of the best google makes more to make mine supposedly obsolete and even the new system updates require 1 ghz processors which the dinc has but i feel like future updates from google will be incompatible with my phone even though it was just released this year how is that. But anyway the question..
1. android 3.0 or gingerbread is supposed to be the end of the 3rd party ui’s is this true, the reason i want an htc phone is because i want htc sense and all the features and interface that comes with it why would i want an upgrade that gets rid of that, thats the whole point im getting an htc phone and
2. the supposed htc scorpion or whichever is supposed to come with 3.0 and can root ive heard of a new app called easy root that can root your phone for you with one click, is rooting something i should do, what am i missing without it cant i just do the same with an ota official update. yes the question is long but this new info doesnt really seem fair to people who pay 200 for a phone that could be obsolete next year and any info is appreciated

2nd question: NO, you don't need to root, all it will do is just update your phone like everyday, pointless, time wasting, and from what I've heard, your phone gets locked until the update is done.
1st question: Welcome to the tech lounge, this is exactly what's been going on in Electronics for the last 20 years. 20 years ago, Windows 3.1 was the shit, in the blink of an eye, Windows 95 comes out and 3.1 software won't work anymore, and all new software required Windows 95 to run. Sounds like an old story, but same thing now.
Technology becomes obsolete after 3 months, there are ALWAYS newer, and faster products every few months, BY THE SAME COMPANIES. This is the problem with updates as well, you get a few minor things that you don't need and sacrafice things you DID need before.
Windows XP was great, upgraded to Windows 7, lots of visual effects and idiot friendly software with a Media Center. Gave up functionality, command prompt, and a lot of other ACTUAL USEFUL stuff.
In summary, this is life in the techno-realm. In a few more months there'll be a 2.5GHZ processor in phones, you can never have the BEST of anything, if you did, you'll be buying new phones, TV's, Computers and electronics every month over and over again forever.
ADVICE Get the phone, take it to someone who can "HACK" it, and have them roll back the drivers so you'll have the 2.0 version of the OS.
I went from G1 to BlackBerry 8900 and thought I'd miss everything Android had to offer, but I got over it fast. Unless you simply cannot live without all those apps available to Android, then I say go with the 9700 and avoid all those problems you mentioned for the new MyTouch. You can always go back to your G1 if you decide you need Android (or if it's within 14 days, just return it and get the MyTouch).
@icesvenni BS, i dont ever use flash, it’s not nee- *looks at the videos i have playing* nvm.
@clubtc05 DONT BUY IT. I own one, and I know you should NOT buy it. Samsung hasn’t even given it android 2.2 yet. The phone is slow. and the GPS doesn’t even work. Wait for a better AT&T phone, buy the Nexus One, or wait and see if the Nexus Two/S comes out.
@icesvenni i know fucking apply peice of fucking shit i hate that on my iphone4 …..two things..No flash and Itunes fucking gay
whats this guys name?
@icesvenni lol, deserves 216 likes xD
NEED HELP! Im about to get my first andriod phone and I’m on AT&T. If I get the samsung captivate would I be able to run 3.0 smoothly and should i get the captivate or wait for a better andriod phone to come out?
I think 2011
@audiowiz its actually 2010+
1. There is no Android phone that is more customizable than any other- they're all exactly alike in terms of what you can customize..
2. Droid X is not quite stock Android- it has a Moto skin on top of it..
3. Doesn't matter if the Droid won't get Gingerbread- you can root
4. The hump on the X is barely noticeable, according to most reviews, and even helps while holding it..
5. The Incredible doesn't feel plasticky at all, and I definitely wouldn't call Sense a con..
Personally, I'd say first decide if you want a keyboard or not- if you do, then wait for the Droid 2, which should be out in August or September.. If you don't need a keyboard, then wait til the 15th to compare the X and the Incredible, and decide between those 2
It does not run Blur- it runs a custom Motorola interface on top of Android, but it is not quite like Blur is.. It will be able to support Gingerbread, but that will not be out until next year- Froyo just came out, so it will be a while before Gingerbread is released. The phone has the hardware to support it, but ultimately it will be up to Motorola if they want to release it for the X. It also takes longer to be released for phones that have other interfaces, because Gingerbread has to be re-done and modified to work with Motorola's skin.
this is 2.2 not 3.0
It turns out that on the internet, people use Flash! haha
