Help Cricket Sanyo ZIO

Is it possible to get and upgrade from 16 to 2.0-2.2? I can not stand how buggy and slow my ZIO is and from reading reviews this is a common issue.

Cricket support is a joke to talk to. So Please let me know if it is possible.

Thanks
 
Update:

So I contacted Cricket and they had informed me to contact Kyocera. Contacted Kyocera and they informed me that no update will be for at least another year. So in light of that I'll be taking my phone back seeing how most if not all other Android phones are running 2.1 or 2.2. Being locked in at 1.6 really restricts all of us from getting other app that are available. Plus how slow and buggy 1.6 runs.

So my advice for all you Sanyo ZIO phone users is to either return it or sell it and get a better phone with 2.1 or 2.2 already installed.
 
I spoke to Cricket and the tech support MANAGER told me it would never happen and to buy a new phone. He and the assisting agent before me were very rude and basically gave me the middle finger to gfo. I call Kyocera and not only do I get an American to speak to but he tells me 2.1 is a release marked for Feb. 2011. No exact date but something to look forward to. Also he went on to tell me that if you were to get a ROM from a Sprint Zio and tried to port it over you will brick your phone. Apparently they embed the settings for the host a software level at compile. Not sure if I believe that 100%, but still food for thought.
