Next for Android on TP2

[Grogck]

Power management would definitely be the highest priority for me. I'm fortunate in that I can keep my phone docked most of the day so I run Android probably 75% of the time now. However, there's no way I could use it all day if I wasn't constantly plugged in. (and I'm assuming keyboard backlighting would also be a function of this?)

After that I'd probably say camera for the vast majority of folks. It's not something most people use a lot but it's really notable when you need it and it's not there. Sounds like you're getting fairly close here though.

For us CDMA users a more thorough solution to the headphone jack would be particularly nice. However, for those of us on Sprint with the TP2 I'd imagine a pretty sizable percentage are on SERO and now licking their chops waiting for 10/1 to roll around. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to jump immediately or maybe wait it out with my TP2 for a little while longer to see what the holiday season brings. Either way, I'm holding on to my TP2 though so I'll definitely continue to follow its Android development.

Why? What's happening at Sprint/SERO for October 1st? I guess I'm out of the loop.

On 10/1 SERO users will finally be eligible to upgrade to Android/WebOS/etc devices. They're going to call it SERO Premium and you will have to pay a bit extra per month depending on the type of device you buy. $10 extra per month for entry/mid-level non-4G devices like Pre, Hero, etc. Another $10 extra per month on top of that if you get one of the high-end 4G devices (Epic/Evo.)

You don't HAVE to upgrade obviously. But they're finally offering a decent middleground upgrade path for those of on SERO who would otherwise cling to our cheap plans for dear life rather than nearly triple our monthly bill.
