Sorry id like to believe you, but since it falls on APRIL FOOLS DAY, i reamain a bit skeptical. Sprint Buzz -1,taking me for a sucker....EPIC F A I L.Not once in my life have i ever rode the short bus, thanks for the effort...
well theres two meetings one on the 31st, and the 1st. sprint always has 2-3 meetings just incase you can't make it to the first one. very much common for sprint our last big meeting i missed the first two meeting because of school, and had to catch the third one.
Sprint CS says the Nexus One is slated for a late Spring release..Whenever that is..LoL..
the N1 will come before the evo, that's a certainty. id say nexus in june and the evo in late summer / early fall.

Isn't Spring, March April or May though....I hope we get it like April or May..They need to release the phones while they are hott and have the buzz..
Call me pessimistic, but 1 date is April 1 and says APRIL FOOLS right on the calendar. Dont surprise me, im not getting worked up till I actually see it.

any idea when this meeting is supposed to happen today?
I think since it's a marketing promotion, it will have to do more with 4G and updates to its plans, rather than new phones. But I wouldn't mind if I was wrong.
you know what would be an awesome april fools joke? if someone make a rickroll boot animation on an "OFFICIAL" 2.1 hero leak.... and it just hung on boot, infinite loop rickroll.... that would be classic

http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/03/...ndroid-2-1-update-for-hero-and-moment-over-t/
If you recall, about a month ago Sprint tweeted that it was working on delivering Android 2.1 upgrade for its HTC Hero and Samsung Moment in early Q2 this year. An optimistic guess would be April, right? Funnily enough, Techie Buzz has heard that two eager customers managed to squeeze a more precise date out of Sprint over a phone call -- end of March or even March 26th. Don't go reaching for that champagne just yet, though -- a self-proclaimed Sprint employee shared a recent internal memo on XDA-Developers forum, revealing that it's "actively working on having the Android 2.1 platform available to our Hero and Moment customers over the coming weeks," and that "more information coming in April." Oh Sprint, you do love playing with our little minds, don't you?

On average, Engadget can be 12 hours late from the source when it comes to news originating from ppcgeeks, sprintusers, xda, howardforums, etc. I'm not surprised some stuff leaks through their newswatchers from time to time.

The "real" 2.1 update is going to suck eggs anyway, until the devs here get a hold of it and make it right.
ANY date that you hear that isnt directly from sprint is inccorect. We dont have a date, other than second quater wich has just begun.

Because when the "official" release comes, then the devs will be working with raw materials that have all the bugs worked out.
Personally, I think the official release is coming soon, and the devs are already working with it, but that's just a gut feeling. It would be cool to know for sure...
This just in... any release from Sprint is going to suck compared to what the devs here have given us already... we now resume our regularly scheduled awesomeness of dev ROMs

2.1 is coming!!!!
Wouldn't that just be a hoot
I love how the article says "Christmas is coming early", as if one Christmas and many months haven't already passed since HTC announced that 2.1 would be coming to the Hero.
I have a feeling we will be hearing this A LOT, and I mean A LOT come FRIDAY JUNE 4th. So I though I would facilitate the excitement into one thread... For us brave ones who had to patiently wait till JUNE 4th. Ill most likely be posting where I got my EVO, time I got my EVO, length of time in line and my overall first impressions of this majestic beast!
*I do apologize ahead of time for the over use of exclamation marks (!)I wont be able to contain my excitement!*
Feel free to post your first Pics taken with or of the phone here...
Update: So I got it!!!!!!!
First of all I woke up with a hangover.....
as tired as I was I still woke up and drove to my local RS and I was the first one there. Eventually 28 other people showed up at 6:30 or so... I got my EVO first thing I did was throw a Zagg on it. My # has not yet ported so I havent even turned on the phone!!!!! I hate you AT&t!!!!!

I wouldn't say exactly 20th but 19th-21st seems like the possible days...unless sprint pushes the date up like T-Mobile did.
This just means thats when they are having an episode about it, how do you know this is the release date?

The theory is that since the Captivate and the Vibrant's episodes were on the "official" release dates, that the Epic's episode could be on it's official release date. While the Vibrant was actually available July 15th, the phone wasn't actually officially to be released until the 21st.
I'm personally hoping for an earlier date... like, Sunday, July 25th. I've saved up my dough for it already.
Wahh! That's a bit long of a wait. Im hoping the first week of August. But middle august gives me time to put up my nexus for sale.

Back to topic...
I wonder if this phone will be like the other galaxies? What I mean is I've read reviews that say it has a kinda (cheap) plastic feel to it. I hope not. I hope the build quality feels solid. Only reason I'm interested is I miss the hardware keyboard I had with the moment. Some might think I'm crazy, but I'd prefer this over my evo. Oh yeah, I'd yank that stupid touchwiz out for vanilla or AOSP in a heartbeat!

There is already a ClockworkMod recovery for the Galaxy S:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734166
I would guess that some mods can be used with all the models. Roms or kernels would be unique to each model and carrier because of slight hardware differences and radios operating frequencies and technologies. I'm no hacker or dev, but that's what my common sense is guessing.

"That won't be happening, with 100% certainty."
Wow, 100% sure? Do you something we don't? I have a friend who asked a sprint sales rep here in Florida about the Epic and he told him there were no new devices coming out until the holidays. That's pretty sad how some sprint sales reps are so clueless about new devices. That's not a dig at you and it probably wont released the first week of Aug.
I'm sure noobnl will put out a good ROM for it, I decided to take this one over the evo, sorry HTC =/ I can't wait!
The 20th is so far away! I keep waking up hoping its the 20th, but its not even the end of July yet! *impatience*
Just saw pictures of the upcoming HTC Vision, and that keyboard doesn't have ANYTHING on the epic!

I'm the person in my store who was selected to get the device early. We get it a month before it gets released publicly, so we can train our coworkers on the device. I'm expecting it this week, so I expect the release to be around 8/20 (as was rumored).

I don't think you get what I was saying. People here were saying that given it's a Sunday, Dell wouldn't release the phone on that day. I simply responded that the Captivate was released on a Sunday. So in other words, I was saying that a Sunday release was possible.
As for the rest of your comment, I personally don't give a $hit if someone else thinks my phone is too small or too big.

All AT&T smartphones are released on Sundays (iphone exception). I don't think the Streak will be released today though. If it were to come out tomorrow that means we could pre-order today and that's obviously not happening, so lets just hope for a release within 2 weeks from now.
What do you guys think the holdup is? The phone had been in UK nearly 2 months now, how hard is it to swap radio band & release? I think they are waiting to put Android 2.1 on it;-)
