That's exactly what happened to me with my Android phone. I have one of the first ones that T-Mobile offered. The latest OTA update for it was 1.5 and there are apps I need for school and other things that only run on 2.1 and above. They released a 2.1 ROM for the phone a while back, but the performance is so laggy and crappy it isn't worth using it anymore. Ridiculous things, like if I type in someone's name to send a text message to, it will take 30 seconds for it to pull up the contacts list and then another 30 seconds for it to scroll to the person's name. And if you dare touch the screen or any button while it's "thinking" it slaps you right back to the previous screen and you have to start all over.
And it's because they came out with newer phones with faster processors and more RAM. Mine physically can't handle the demands of the 2.1 Android OS.
I really hope Apple doesn't allow that kind of thing with the iPad and future IOS upgrades. That's the biggest reason I won't buy an Android tablet.
What Android phone did you have? The G1? It does stink that the first generation Android phones basically got left in the dust because of their poor hardware specs, but that shouldn't be to much of an issue for phones bought from 2010 on. Also, if it was the G1, then I assume that you put a custom rom on it to get 2.1. There are a lot of videos of custom roms running on the G1 on youtube that show it very smooth especially for the hardware that it had. It might have been a case of just running a poorly built custom rom or something going wrong while flashing it.Quote:

I have the Motorola Cliq.
Oh, ouch, I'm sorry.
You need to upgrade, how long before you can upgrade?
Like was said above, that phone isn't powerful enough to run many of the new apps anyways.
Apple has a great reputation for continuity. When they went to the Intel processors, they continued to support the old ones. 10.6 was the first one that I could not run my wife's g5 on. And it is still supported under 10.5. Yes, there will be a few apps that will take advantage of specific iPad 2 features, but nothing that Apple won't insist on making part of the description.
I don't get the full upgrade discount until next February I think they said. I thought about getting out of my T-Mobile contract and going to Verizon. It would actually be cheaper for me to do that (pay the $200 termination fee and get a new phone and service at Verizon) than it would to buy a new phone outright from T-Mobile.Quote:
