I think you ignored what I said.

I said that it wasn't just due to the Sense UI, but because Google would have had the source for far longer than HTC, Samsung, or Motorola. They can therefore tune things for their own hardware well before anyone else can, so when the source code is released to everyone, a ROM for their own phone can follow.

Of course, if HTC and co. DO get access to the source before its general release, that invalidates my point. Does anyone know if this is the case?
HTC have been in possession of 2.1for ages. After all they launched the legend and the desire at 2.1 plus they build the n1 which was launched with 2.1

I sent a tweet to the T-Mobile support team asking what is going on and they replied to say a message has been added to their website at approx 3pm today - looks like mid July at the earliest :


G2 Touch software update
Posted: [COLOR=#0066cc]2 hours ago[/COLOR]

Hi everyone,

Some news on the two latest software updates for the G2 Touch.

Firstly, please ensure that you have a backup of any personal data kept on your phone (i.e contacts, messages, applications etc) before you perform any of these updates - as you may lose all data you have stored when you install these updates.

For the 1st update, as some of you know we recently released a maintenance update for the G2 Touch which some people had problems installing. We stopped the update while we looked into these issues but the rollout will continue again over the course of the next few days. Your phone should prompt you to install the maintenance update, but if it doesn’t, don’t worry – you’ll get prompted the next time your phone checks for updates.

If you experience any problems installing the update please download and install the current G2 Touch software which you can find on HTC’s support website. Full instructions for installing the update can be found on HTC’s [COLOR=#0066cc]website[/COLOR] . Please note, installing this software will wipe your handset, so please ensure you back up any data you need prior to installing. You only need to install the software from HTC’s website if you encounter problems installing the initial maintenance update. Once you have installed the software from HTC’s website you will be prompted to install the maintenance update the next time your phone checks for updates.

Once you’ve updated your phone with the maintenance update, you’ll be ready to get the 2nd update. We expect this to rollout in mid-July and this will update your phone to Android 2.1 - Éclair. Again, before you install this update you should make sure you have all your personal data backed up.

Regards

Forum Team
