The user-agent screenshot that has been used to tout the existence of the Google Nexus used has also revealed something about the HTC Tattoo:

Look below the highlighted line. Interestingly enough, it's running the Norwegian language. That's right, Android 2.1 for the HTC Tattoo is now all but confirmed. We just have to wait now.

I can also confirm the existence of 2.1 en-us HTC Tattoo in my own server logs:

when will the new 2.1 rom be out and where?

where will the new rom be out? will it be officially from htc? or can we expect to see something on here.

btw, kinda off topic, but has anyone been able to root the tattoo?

Probably until mids february, that htc releases an android 2.1 device and can port the rom for their other devices more "easily". still there is not much tattoo development yet in the community and cyanogen is centered in the first g1 phones.

So, its mid-february and there are no new informations about this.

At the Press Conference at MWC, HTC confirmed updates for "older" Devices but only mentioned the Hero and no other Device...

My guess: There will be no 2.1 for the Tattoo.

Yeh,
I'm a bit bummed about it. You see the twitter feed for HTC mentioning the Eris, Hero, etc all getting updates..... just not our Tattoo though, which really sucks considering it has the same processor as the Hero. Maybe it is just the resistive screen that is the reason they are not doing it?

I thought the 2.1 was more or less confirmed on the tattoo (a la first post in this thread???)

I have just phoned HTC technical about the 2.1 upgrade and their reply was they are working hard on getting the touchflo part working for the Hero phone for release in the near future but for the Tattoo there has been no announcement so they cannot confirm or deny that it will be available for the Tattoo :(
