Am I all alone?
Who else is back with 2.1?
All the custom ROM builders have basicly stop development on 2.1 and switched to 2.2.
Very weird. Am I missing something? just look at the bug reports here and even more here and how many of the issues have no workaround. This is the reason i left Windows Mobile years ago.
I have watched the boards for a while and haven't seen anyone really going back. |
Yup, that sounds just like Windows Mobile. Sounds like the idiots who wanted to stick with 6.1 and who begged me to make 6.1 and then 6.5 only ROMs while refusing to move to 6.5 and 6.5.x. People who refuse to make progress and accept that something may actually be better than what they have. People who hold back innovation and improvement. You are probably around 20 years old, in college, and still running Windows XP on your computer huh?
2.2 is WAY faster than 2.1, it has flash and a host of other great additions to it. It has NO serious bugs at all (in the official version), and MOST people have NO problems with it. What reason would you have to stay with 2.1 (developers crappy, buggy, ROMs are not an excuse)?
FYI, your first link was to a guy running an unofficial (duh) build and some of his "bugs" aren't even bugs. The white HTC loading screen (result of using a task killer guaranteed), the widgets (not consistently reproducible. I have no problems with mine.), flash (duh it makes things slower, however, as a whole, the browser is WAY faster. Turn off plugins if you must.), pop-ups (again, haven't seen it myself, nor seen any other large scale complaints), camera (ditto).
The second link... wtf, half the problems are related to 3rd party apps or hacked apps or are caused by people with the unofficial update.
I would wager that almost all of those "bugs" would be fixed by a wipe, not using hacked apps (i.e., some dev porting something from a 2.1 device to a 2.2 device), and not blaming a 3rd party app being out of date as a 2.2 bug...
Not granted, there are some bugs, but nothing major IMO (though what qualifies as major to one person isn't to another and vice versa).
My advice... If you want to rot in the past, stay with 2.1 and don't complain/post about it. If you want to join everyone else, install the official 2.2 (you could use a rooted stock 2.2 also), wipe your phone, and enjoy a much better experience than available anywhere else.
PS. Don't use a task killer if you don't know wth you are doing.
PPS. I don't know of any task killer that works correctly under 2.2, nor is it necessary.
