Because what company you know takes a step backwards? No offense to mytouch 3g owners, but I have never seen anything like this. Has Apple ever updated. The old Iphones before the more current Iphones? Has. Windows done that? I could understand if the phones were 2 completely different phones. Like a Evo and G1. The mytouch 3g and mytouch slide are the same line of phones. The difference between these 2 are, the slide has a keyboard, better ram, better cpu, better camera, etc. Why wouldn't the more top of the line mytouch not get the update first? I completely understand that the mytouch 3g has been stuck on 1.6 for a while. I've had 2 mytouch 3g's. I stepped away from them thinking that if I buy the newer version (slide) I would be more up to date with both hardware and software. If I would of known then I would of just kept the mytouch 3g and wait awhile before I upgrade. How would the g2 owners feel if they knew that the g1 was getting Ginger Bread before them?The 3G came out before the Slide, Ounc. How do you figure it's a joke?
I'm assuming that its getting Espresso because I read that it said something about changes to the UI plus there was mention in the past about the 3g getting the Genious button (virtual). I think the mytouch line is all switching over to Espresso if I'm not mistaken.
I don't think it's espresso sense purely based on the bullet point of having dedicated phone, all apps and browser shortcuts. That sounds like stock froyo. Espresso, at least with our 2.1 version, has dedicated phone, all apps and faves shortcuts.
hmm is the original mytouch even capable of running the same espresso rom as the slide?
I don't see why not. The only thing that kept the G1's from running sense ROM's was the stock SPL was too small. HTC changed that for the original mytouch on up. A quick search in the magic/sapphire forum showed they ported it. It may be a stripped down version of it, like not having "my modes" themes.
Honestly it can, but I would assume there's lag. Especially since they said its getting live wall paper.
I'm thinking a 2.2.1 update, HD should be getting it so if all else we just port over that one and be happy.
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to port it from the myTouch hd/4G/ whatever the hell they call it next. With a 3.7" (or is it 3.8") screen, it'll be HDPI whereas the Slide is MDPI screen resolution. That's why we haven't been able to port ROMs from the Desire or any other HDPI device.
Are you sure they weren't talking about the original mytouch? The timeline for that phone was that the update was to done by the 25th and there have been no mentions of the Slide update anywhere else, or the other versions of the mytouch, fender, 1.2. I don't think the rep understood you or got things confused. I wouldn't bet on an update starting then.
Could've sworn they were the same size screens, guess my source was wrong.
