Cricket zio and 2.1 ?

[hoohoo51]

so i got a cricked zio today and its got 1.6 on it. if i provide a dump is there a way to use the sprint dump to make a update for us cricket users ? btw the tech at the cricket wireless store said that it has been confirmed that 2.3 will be released for cricket sometime in january

I think you just mis-typed but the Zio is getting 2.1 on Cricket in January. There's no date for 2.2 or 2.3 on the Zio(or even if they're getting it).

Cricket Andriod 2.2 on Zio cell phone FCC Complaint

I complained to the FCC about Cricket and the 2.1 Android OS I DID NOT GET on my Zio phone. This is a copy of the letter I received today from Cricket addressing my complaint:

Dear Sir/Madam:

This correspondence is in reference to J. Keith Sowell who filed a complaint about the
Android operating system on his Kyocera ZIO smartphone. He is asking why he didn't
get the Android version 2.1 operating system as it is available on other carriers' Android
platform handsets.
Our research indicates that the version 2.1 of the Android operating system is not
available for distribution on Cricket's network. We anticipate releasing version 2.2
sometime in February, 2011. While we cannot guarantee this delivery date, the upgrade
is in process.
We trust that Mr. Sowell is aware he had a choice to purchase an Android version 2.1
smartphone - the Huawei Ascend-offered in the same price range as the Kyocera Zio.
Or, he had the option to purchase the Sprint phone with the preferred Android platform
to which he referred in his complaint.
We do appreciate Mr. Sowell's time in pursuing the update matter and trust that the
above information provides a sufficient explanation for the version status.
Regards,
