not to sound like an absolute ignoramus/dick but arent we running android? is froyo a different operating system or is it like an upgrade?

im under the impression its a different os cos weve only just recently had android 2.1?

Froyo is just a newer version within the android OS - in the same way that Windows 7 is a newer version of Windows than Vista was.

Each android release version has a corresponding dessert code-name: 1.5 cupcake, 1.6 donut, 2.0 and 2.1 eclair, and 2.2 froyo.

I thought it worked with the 2.6.29 kernel?

2.1 came out in January, it just took until now for us to get something that worked.

2.2 came out this month and it'll probably take another 6 months for us to get something that works, if at all, as it's based on Linux Kernel 2.6.32 [source]

Yeh, but huawei was working on the 2.1 release and they took 6 months on it. We are more motivated and more skilled than huawei and will have it done in a couple of months =)

Good luck lad, 2.1 is just too unstable so I look forward to your efforts been released.

I'd have to say there some truth in that. There are some very skilled people here, but Huawei are the people with the full source code. I'm guessing that we don't have the source for all the drivers, and so lets hope we can fudge the .29 drivers to work on .32

What do you mean by too unstable? Sure, it crashes, but its quite rare, and it's easy to just pop the battery out. Edited by Speckles

Its not as stable at 1.7MCR you may think it is infrequent but I have to take the battery out at least 3 times a day at the moment. I mean yea its not too anoying because its only when I am using it a lot but its a shame really as it lets the phone down. I would imagine this is why T-mobile UK haven't released it to be honest with you.

I don't have to do it that often, maybe I just don't use the phone as much as you. It seems that most of the time it crashes when doing something web based. Sometimes it can be annoying (yesterday I was trying to paste the url of a webpage I found into a text message, but it crashed when I selected the address bar), but overall I prefer it than having to go back to Android 1.5.

Hopefully in 23 months when my contract expires there will be another cheap android to go for running 3.0 or whatever is available then. Unless of course Apple have taken over the world by then, in which case, I'll probably stick with this one until it falls apart.
