Commented on “Droid Dog Android Blog”

Tony, I have a Nexus One (love it!) and I’m now using the HTC Desire’s Sense UI in a alpha build (love it too!).

So I’d have to disagree with you — you’ll probably wait a shorter time and still have the Sense UI by getting a Nexus One. I’m hoping for people on other carriers who opt for the HTC Desire (Bravo) that they get updates almost as fast as the Nexus One folks, because it’s almost the same phone.

But I bet Nexus One users will still get the Sense UI faster than the Sense UI phones get the stock Android OS updates.
