HTC Says Update Still Coming, Nothing Else

By on April 28, 2008

HTC media representatives have confirmed to PhoneNews.com that an update is still coming to address consumer complaints with their Qualcomm-based smartphones.

The manufacturer promised customers that an update would be released by the end of last month, but remained silent at the start of April. Other consumer activists such as HTCClassAction.org have noted HTC’s failure to deliver any update, as well as all of HTC’s prior conflicting statements.

HTC did not confirm any other information to PhoneNews.com, including what the update would specifically improve, or when exactly the update would be released. HTC would not confirm reports that the update would enable the Qualcomm’s built-in 2D graphics acceleration, and denied that the update would enable the built-in Direc3D acceleration that exists as well. HTC even went as far as to be unable to confirm if the update would require carrier approval, or be released as a single CAB update for the entire line of Qualcomm-based handsets.

    […] Kommt das HTC Driver Update doch noch? – 29.04.2008, 22:24 PhoneNews sprach mit HTC über das schon lange verzögerte Treiber-Update, das doch eigentlich gar kein Treiber update sein wird. Viel neues gab HTC nicht preis, das Update wird kommen, wenn auch verzögert, es wird aber definitiv kein Treiber Update sondern “nur” ein Treiber Update sein. HTC sagte auch nicht, wann das Update denn kommen wird und auch nicht wie. Ob per .cab oder auf einem anderen Weg. Besser als gar nichts. Mehr Infos: htcclassaction. via PhoneNews. […]

    Before our report, George, many assumed the update was dead and would not be released. So, yes, it is newsworthy in our view…
