This offer applies to all HTC Androids (not all Android devices).

CWIZO• 15 years ago

Yes! OP please change the title, it is very misleading.

Does it work on rooted HTC phone with Cyanogenmod?

drivebyacct2• 15 years ago

To be fair, everywhere HTC announced it, they used the same headline. It's only slightly less pompous than referring to iOS devices without an article.

vinodlive• 15 years ago

hmm.. time to borrow friend's HTC for 'grabbing' this offer.

Smart move for both Dropbox and HTC. Everybody wins, and the users get the most out of this.

Hopefully we're going to see more deals like this, but PLEASE manufacturers, don't make these apps un-uninstalable (like google did with Twitter.. I don't use twitter)

ZeroGravitas• 15 years ago

Apparently ICS makes all apps uninstallable. I'm sure American carries will find some way to muck it up though.

zrgiu_2• 15 years ago

Nah, ICS allows you to disable any application, not uninstall it. It's basically in a state which just uses storage space, which is still a good thing. But who's to say that manufacturers won't modify ICS and disable 'certain features' ?

This isn't new to ICS. "pm disable «packagename»" works on Gingerbread, at least.

How can you activate this?

k1ngofpancakes• 15 years ago

Of course this would happen as soon as I migrate over to Spideroak.

It is an excellent selling feature all the same, and applying it to all devices is the sort of thing that builds tremendous brand loyalty.

Relying on HTC's Twitter feed for information isn't the most reliable way of gaining information about the company. For a long time I thought I'd be getting an official update to my OS (HTC Desire to Gingerbread), specifically because HTC said I would via Twitter .. needless to say, I didn't.

This seems pretty much like speculation to me.

Yeah, for THAT information you have to go to their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=225607660802056

sigh

rbreve• 15 years ago

I wonder if this applies to my old nexus one

bmaeser• 15 years ago

this service is ONLY for HTC-Androids and ONLY for 12 month.

> Congrats on becoming a Dropbox Guru! We've awarded you 3GB of bonus space for the next 12 months!

https://twitter.com/htc/status/128546238999175168 really should have made that clear.
