Android 2.1 platform for Hero and Moment
Specialists: All
Customers: All
What you need to know:
With all the anticipation of Nexus One joining the Sprint Android family of great devices, customers with the HTC Heroand the Samsung Momentwith Googlemay wonder about the Android 2.1 platform that supports Nexus One.
What you need to do:
We know that technology has enabled greater productivity and spontaneity in our lives, and because of this we have become very dependent on staying connected. Customers don only expect more from their wireless phones -- they demand it.
Let your customers know we are actively working on having the Android 2.1 platform available to our Hero and Moment customers over the coming weeks.
Look for more information coming in April about Android 2.1 platform for Hero and Moment.
And dont forget:
The HTC Hero and the Samsung Moment with Google are superior devices.
Sprint is the only national U.S. carrier to offer HTC Hero, and it picked up top honors as Best Mobile Handset at the 2010 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
About.com readers have also nominated HTC Hero as their favorite smartphone for the 2010 Reader Choice Awards.
doesent suprise me thats why i just went back to old trusty 1.5 and going to try to block 2.1 outta my head cause im gonna die of high blood bressure waiting for it to officially drop
good thing 99% of my customers dont know wtf 2.1 is anyways lol.
It's not as if these new 2.1 ROMs up on this board are totally useless.
These new builds are stable enough for everyday use and aren't that different than what the official 2.1 will provide.
The jump we've made in just the last week is far bigger than the difference that the official ROM is going to give us.
yea i use 2.0b i love it! screw sprint lets go xda! lol were just basically missing the friend update thingy from these builds pretty much nothing more i believe.

Windows Phone 7 on HD2 update coming in March?
A Tuesday Twitter update aims to assuage rumors floating around the net regarding an HTC HD2 handset allegedly running the recently announced Windows Phone 7. Believed to originate from Microsoft itself, the Twitter update hints that more information on the handset running on the new OS may arrive sometime in March. WP7 will bring many upgrades compared to its predecessor, WM6.5, including multi-touch support and a Zune-like interface, among many other more modest improvements.
HTC had said last year that the HD2 is its only handset that will qualify for upgrading to the next-generation Windows Mobile operating system. This is likely due to its fast 1GHz CPU and high resolution capacitive touchscreen, both of which are necessary to meet Microsoft's requirements. Any updates won't appear until closer to the end of the year.
- - - - - - - -
i want the Windows 7 =)
damn ... i want it so much )
Yawn.
There will "apparently" be an "official" message from HTC that is "allegedly" a response to many questions about WM7 being available on the HD2, when it comes out in December. Since HTC have said nothing more than "we're making an announcement in March", it could be anything to do with anything and I think we should just all speculate and assume that the HD2 will have WM7 in March. Ah mate - you beat me to it.
Incidentally, you mention "Microsoft's requirements". You've never read them - ever. They've not been released. There are rumours all over the internet that are as believable as "fake moon landings" and Bush planning 911.
It's this simple. A WP7S phone must have 3 and only 3 buttons. Any phone with more or less than 3 does not qualify as a WP7S phone and so will never get an official WP7S software upgrade.
Count the buttons on the HD2.
I have a leaked WM7 beta rom on my HD2. Using it right now....who wants a dump of this uber rom?

Put a sticker on 2 buttons with note "don't touch this" and HD2 will not have more or less than 3 buttons How simple it that
Two buttons will not be used by firmware, that's all. Another point is if the update will be delivered There are so many rumors, let's wait till the end of the month and we will know for sure

Not true? The LG device shown on the Engadget show last Saturday had the 3 required buttons + a camera button, volume control buttons and a power button.
The requirement is to have AT LEAST these 3 buttons: Back, Windows (home, whatever) and Search. You can add whatever you want to that.

Ha, I figure you're trolling, but you're not that far away from me. Excuse to swing by OC if you will Let me stop by and demand proof/obtain WP7
Lucky lucky Lude .
As for the the button debacle, I'd like to think it it 'at least 3 buttons' (being start, back and search) but it is probably 'only 3 front facing buttons'. This is to probably give all Windows Phones a distinctive, unified look.

Rumors or not winmo7 will reach hd2.
some interesting news here
Doesn't look like it will be coming officially then
Well it seems like based on a leaked screenshot the N1 for Verizon may come with the SenseUI user interface.

Probably a typo... this would be contrary to what Google itself said....
if its sold by Verizon directly, and not google like the N1, doesnt verizon have final say over what software it gets. I think the Incredible could very well be the VZW N1..just speculation of course

As much as I hate Verizon i have to say they impressed me with the droid. It was not bogged down at all with crap VZW bloat like VZ Nav and all that other crap.
Still hate em though, for personal reasons.

I keep forgetting about the droid. Perhaps that is a sign for what will come with future android devices...
looks like the N1 wont be sold in Verizon Stores
http://androidandme.com/2010/03/news/verizon-nexus-one-to-include-sense-ui-available-only-online/
also notice that the camera is 5mp just like the GSM version. I think i saw that the incredible has an 8mp camera. My question is why would Verizon want two of the same phones? Just to have one to sell in stores??
Seems like a typo to me. I'm hopeful they will surprise me with a desire on their site come the 23rd. I think my hopes here fall into the category or wishful thinking/pipe dream.

Other than currently being un-rootable the Eris is also clean and isn't bogged down. Not sure about the recently released Devour by Motorola, but I am pretty sure other than the Visual voice mail app(that the Droid and Eris have), it does come with the VCast video service(so far only Android phone on VZW to do so).
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/verizons-nexus-one-to-be-sold-only-through-google-have-sense-u/
Update: That was quick -- it seems Verizon has already updated its specs to remove the reference to Sense and change the URL from google.com/phones to google.com/phone -- no plural. Thanks, ninjalex76!
Could these be actual pictures and specs?
Yeah, actual info on the HTC Incredible, not a Nexus One.

You're right... not a Nexus One... but the specs say that it is a "Google Experience Device" with "Google Over The Air Updates"
As long as a it can be rooted and new ROMs are made available in a reasonable time, this might be an alternative choice. Given the it's a "Verizon" phone I hope it does not suffer the same faith as the Verizon Imagio for which no ROM was available for a long, long time.
EDIT: Given these specs it appears that the Incredible is not a CDMA & GSM World Phone like the Imagio. This is a little disappointing given that the rest of the specs are very impressive.
The Incredible out on the 29th it looks like an official VZN site
EDIT: Never mind... this site is now password protected... see my other link below.

just spotted this paragraph in the specs.
The HTC Incredible™ supports Bluetooth Profiles for wireless headsets, hands–free accessories, stereo and phonebook access. It does not support all object exchange (OBEX) profiles.
I wonder why HTC not implemented all round bluetooth support (OBEX) in the Incredible.
There is now an "official" Verizon Incredible Page... On pre-order on the 19th and available in stores on the 29th and some additional details from Phandroid
Let´s see if HTC can surprise us

This mysterious invitation just popped up in our inbox, asking us to "come see what HTC has dreamt up 15 September." Could this be the fabled Vision or Desire HD? UPDATED
The use of the word "dreamt" intrigues me, not least because their first Android phone (in fact, the first-ever Android phone, period) was called the Dream. Or the G1, when sold exclusively at T-Mobile.

Something like the Tosh K01 would be good but sadly (and i do mean that) running Android instead of Winmo. I don't want to keep throwing money away by buying WinMo apps.
I also hope the K01 specs on PDADB are out of date as it only has a 3.2mp camera and no HD capture (obviously). It does however have a 4.1" screen and a qwerty keyboard! YAY!

I think this is going to be a Windows Mobile phone announced on the 15th. Plus the G2 is going to be an American phone first.

Every morning I do a quick search of the interwebs to check for new ROM leaks - so I search "Epic" "Froyo" "DL11" "DL15" etc.
I just googled "Epic Froyo DL15" and THIS was the third result. It looks like an unfinished FAQ for a DL15 update.

So after more than a week, Samsung still hasn't completed this simple FAQ, no wonder it's taking them so long to get FroYo out.
I don't see why they wouldn't push out the latest version. Average person isn't going to want to flash again a week later for minor fixes.

This is really the only reason I miss the evo...atleast the coorperate devs t htc and sprint rolled out updates...they have gotten 3 updates while we are still stuck on di18
I have to be honest, I'm really reconsidering buy this thing. The evo can be modified in all kinds of ways, and it gets updates from Sprint/HTC in a much more timely fashion.
Samsung and Sprint doesn't seem to give a crap about the Epic for some reason, I'm not sure why since Sammy has sold close to 10 million of these galaxy s phones. I mean if you don't support these devices and provide timely updates, I don't see people being repeat customers of Samsung.
This has been my first non HTC smartphone, and frankly its looking to be my last, its a shame too, the hardware itself is terrific.

It's not that they don't give a crap about it. Froyo was designed on and optimized for a different processor and file system. For whatever reason, Samsung insists on using their own file system, which means they basically have to port Froyo to work with their specs. In addition, a company that only makes phones and pda's like HTC, can concentrate 100% of their resources on those products. While Samsung is making microwaves, TV's, Cameras, and whatever else, so they prioritize a little differently.

There comes a point though when they have to actually release something. Would you still be ok with the wait if they decide to start working on build DL21 and then move on to DL24, etc... and not release a damn thing in the mean while?
This is just freaking ridiculous. We were promised before the end of the year we would have Froyo and it seems that is not going to happen now.
I know I'm done here. Sprint can't even get Gingerbread running on stock hardware

Wal-mart can't even get gingerbread running on the Evo either.
Manufacturer does the updates.
HTC EVO will be one of the first, if not THE FIRST, phone to get an update to Gingerbread.

This is an email that I recieved from HTC after emailing them asking about the sense 2.0 update (some things removed from it for my privacy):
Dear ,
Good question! We understand how important it is to have the latest updates for your device.
I'm happy to inform you that your phone, the HTC Evo is definately on our list to recieve the 2.3 Android OS update. This update is expected to include an update to the Sense UI.
At this time, we don't have an exact launch date. However, we estimate that it will be available in the second quarter of 2011 (anywhere from the beginning of April, to the end of June), assuming that there are no major setbacks. Once we have a better idea of when this update will be availble for your phone, we'll be sure to announce it through Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/htc) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/htc), and of course, HTC.com.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Uhmmm what? If i wanted the iphone i would have gotten it already. Screens to small. Os is eh.. i have an itouch for apps and music so there is no plus there. The evo is getting gingerbread...
So what about the iphone 3g? Apple is no longer supporting that phone either. hmm...
The fact that you're posting in forums designed specifically to incite interest in rooting phones and installing the latest firmware tells me you are either an idiot or troll, op.
Likely both.
I don't have an iPhone so, well, I'm not sure I'll ever have an iPhone.

Have fun with your iPhone. One less troll on xda.
Whaaaa? I thought April Fool's Day was on the first. In so far as I can tell, the only thing Apple has to offer that Android doesn't is the number of higher quality games, and that gap is shrinking in a big hurry. Beyond that, my Evo does everything an iPhone does, and I don't have to put up with AT&T or Verizon. Bonus!
And at any rate, didn't Apple and AT&T brick a bunch of iPhones last year with OTAs?
Yea, and they will brick it remotely if its jailbroken now too, bunch of phone-nazis!

The evo will not be the first to get the GB update, but we should get it eventually

Root your phone and try cyanogen. Btw there is nothing wrong with froyo it is solid.

You suck at trolling kid, go back to the hello kitty forum and practice some more. When you stop getting owned there give youtube a try before coming back.
