Tmobile announces support for RCS UP 1.0...but for it to work right they need 2.0

They said they are rolling out "Version 1.0" That was literally introduced years ago. Last year version 2.0 was introduced brought alot of improvements, and among them was network interoperability. So literally, they just improved the RCS between tmobile customers which they were already using. Even when they roll out to more customers, Tmobile wont bebale to talk to other RCS ppl outside of Tmobile until they upgrade to version 2.0. I have no idea why they would launch 1.0 when the current version is 2.2. One thing to consider is Tmobile is using the Samsung hub instead of Googles own. Both hubs should beable to talk to eachother but again, Tmobile has to upgrade before they can talk to others

Here is some reading for UP 2.0 https://www.gsma.com/futurenetworks/digest/universal-profile-version-2-0-advanced-rcs-messaging/

(I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
