Rogers HTC Magic Getting Android 2.1 With the Sense UI; HTC Dream Left In the Cold

Labels: , , , , , ,

It looks like one of the first two Android devices that hit Canada will be getting Android 2.1. It won't be the HTC Dream. It's been confirmed that the HTC Magic on Rogers will be getting the Android 2.1 update, so that definitely sucks for Dream owners. The Magic will also get the Sense UI over top of Android 2.1 so that's definitely great news. Below is what Mobile Syrup got.


“While there has been a lot of confusion regarding software updates for these devices – we want to make sure that everyone knows that Rogers has been pushing hard to ensure the best possible outcome for all customers who have purchased an HTC Dream and Magic. Although we previously announced that we did not plan an upgrade to either device, we have reevaluated based on Rogers request and agreed to move forward.
First, we will be implementing an update for the 1.5 OS to both the HTC Dream and HTC Magic in the upcoming weeks. These will offer a number of benefits for these devices, including bringing the HTC Sense experience to the HTC Magic, although the OS version will remain 1.5.
By mid-year, HTC will issue an upgrade to Android 2.1, including the highly acclaimed HTC Sense experience for the HTC Magic.
However, due to certain limitations on the HTC Dream, the software path for the HTC Dream will not be developed beyond the next Android 1.5 update. While we regret not being able to offer the same updates to both devices, by bringing this upgrade to the HTC Magic, we are delivering the best solution possible given the situation at hand.
