Open Questions
- Do the phones at the minimum end of the spectrum provide a user experience that is within an acceptable range of our mid to high phones?
- If not, what is our threshold for cutting back?
- What is the update experience like for users on 2.1 smartphones? Will they stop receiving any updates since the new version will be 2.2+?
- Answer(s): Startup measurements
- More testing
- Need testing on Motorola Charm and Motorola Flip Out to see if 600Mhz is acceptable
- Need testing on Samsung Continuum to see if 336Mb is acceptable
Managing the User Experience
- (Scale to Market Share; focus on existing users)
- Option 1: Document in beta/release blog, Release Notes, Work with Sumo [Minimum Solution]
- Option 2: Push an auto-update to existing users and add a snippet to About:Home with a statement for existing users-? [Maximum Solution]
- Option 3: Google Play: Update the Description in Auto Updates for existing users
- Option4: Keep unsupported hardware users on v10 ESR
Phones that we'll be cutting out
- 2.1 devices
