Honestly, our phones will likely not see it anytime soon. My guess is FroYo is what they are refering to and I doubt we will get an official FroYo release.

good point. even if we did, it would probably take longer than 2.1.

Did they not make Froyo so it is easier to get on devices by not having to mess with native apps?

Don't be so certain about that. We won't see if from Sprint anytime soon (probably never)...but our devs here will definitely port Froyo once they can get their hands on it from somewhere.

Samsung Moment gets 2.1 official???

I just read as I googled "Sprint 2.1 update" I get all kinds of, Sprint releases Moment update 2.1, I thought we were getting the "official bits" first?
Why is it I always pick the phone that takes forever to get anything done on, lol...
Thank God for XDA!
I think you need to re-read your google links, as it was a leak.
Something that we've had a few times now for the 2.1 roms...

i know im so using those =P
and on topic, the moment will probably get the update i think first, its plain android and its much easier to port android 2.1 1:1 like that.
Im aware this is the HTC Hero thread, and I dont care about the moment, other than that fact that it seemed, and Im correcting myself I did not see anything that was officially stating that it was official, I was mearly stating that everything I saw, was saying that Hero would get the bits first, then moment,.
Im sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, but Im a hero user, and it urked me.

That wasn't to you specifically.. Just a joke about the forum.. Don't worry about it.. You can post whatever you want, this place is for you to learn...
All I can say is that it's about damn time. I've been loving 2.1 on my hero for the last couple weeks while my wife's moment has been crying itself to sleep. Looks like they've already rooted it over at SDX, so I'm gonna probably flash that whenever I get home from work.
Of course, what would be *really* nice is if Sprint put out something official for a change.

Has sprint ever officially done anything
This is crazy...
Just for you narrow-minded people...
Just because it is not "officially" released on your schedule, doesn't mean anything negative to a company...
Just look at Verizon and the Storm 1.. People kept hounding and hounding Verizon for updates for the phone, but when the update wasn't what they expected, go crazy that they should have done better QA...
It is Sprint's responsibility to make sure all issues are addressed and taken care of... Do you have any idea how many thousands of issues are brought in the testing phase???
Do you know how hard it would be to guarantee a million phones for retail, from a single demo(test) device??
Have a just a tiny bit of understanding and stop complaining....

Narrow minded? Is that would you consider Microsoft? They release software that has no business being in the market place, only to patch it every tuesday when admins like me all over the world find bugs and exploits, and errors and problems. Just release the damn thing, and do incrementals as needed. Take the M$ route and get us what we want!

It'll be out whenever Sprint is ready. It doesn't help that they are dragging their feet, most likely for their proprietary apps. I'm not holding my breath.

Sprint 2.1 Eclair Release (HTC Hero & Samsung Moment)

Here's some info that i got earlier today, thought I would share with everyone:
the 2.1 update will be OTW Only, and available from Sprint.com/Download once released.
File size for the HTC Hero will be ~117mb, and Samsung Moment ~80mb
Post 2.1 MRs will be OTA as long as sizes are within sprint's technical capabilities (9mb limit on OTA), Otherwise they will be OTA from Google or OEM sources.
Release dates:
Moment - April 30
Hero - Week of May 1
So keep your eyes peeled, and before anyone asks, the reason that the Hero update is being released after the Moment, is due to Sense implementation.
Enjoy!

It's as true as it comes, i can't divulge my direct source without risking losing my job, and it's not worth it.
But, i'll say this, the info is a synopsis of information that TSS and ATS groups got as of yesterday concerning the update, and it comes from the development group. It's information we can give over the phone, but all we can say is that it's information from the development group working on the update.

On second thought. Why would samsung OTA us to 2.3, by doing so that would make the Nexus S just another Vibrant over at T-Mobile.

My understanding is that the Nexus S (like the Nexus One) is a stripped down, super-phone, demonstration of new technology and in this case the most notable difference would be the form factor and the NFC. I think Sammy would face more backlash from consumers for ignoring hardware customers already paid for so as to make a new product with near-identical hardware better.
I would assume to have a 2.3 powerhouse phone on all major carriers for bragging and sales purposes. Would make a ton of sense.

From the article:
While only a rumor, he's usually spot on and the tweet does seem very plausible so we wouldn't be surprised if Samsung Galaxy S phones (Captivate, Fascinate, Epic 4G and Vibrant) will beat HTC and Motorola devices to Android 2.3.

Personally, I'd never heard of him but I've requested to follow him on twitter. In the end we'll just have to wait and see but it would be nice. If this update were coming soon I think there would be some RCs floating around but seeing as we have Froyo ones and a 'near-official' OTA update that went to .4 phones its hard to know if we'll skip 2.2 and go right to 2.3. I want this to happen but the evidence I have right now would seem to go against this.
I honestly though don't care about gingerbread all that much. I'm planning to have this phone for awhile. It does everything I need with ease. Big difference from when I had the Moment and from day 1 felt the need to smash it into a wall because of how slow and laggy it was. I would hope samsung realizes this isn't a phone to cut ties with because it defintely has staying power even after it's superceded by something faster on paper but probably only marginably faster in real world use.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
So if you're wondering why Samsung hasn't bothered upgrading most of its smartphons to Android 2.2 Froyo yet then this could be the reason. Let's see if Samsung leapfrogs to Android Gingerbread before the holidays or not.

if we skip straight to 2.3 I will start rescuing kittens!!!!
With how good samsung did with sales from all the galaxy s phones, i wouldnt be surprised that they would do this.. that would be so sweet to have gingerbread on epic and since its on the nexus s with samehardware screen and stats, makes sense they could upgrade all variants epic will definitly be the top of the line if it got gingerbread, but also i agree with the poster above about caring less as long as i have a good running phone with 2.2 ill be set til the dual core processors come out and another top of the line phone comes out for sprint next year or 2 years,

Indeed. I spent months reading about how my Mytouch was getting Eclair only to be let down every time. I will say that if they do leapfrog 2.2 and get my device up-to-android-date then when I buy my fiancee's new phone in about a month she'll be getting a Sammy device. Otherwise, I'm not going to get her a phone that's always out-of-date.
Now if we dont receive an update b4 january first for anything this might prove that we will have gingerbread later and prove that they skipped froyo.
I mean if they dont give us froyo b4 the end of the year like they promised, they could be working on gingerbread we shall see by the end of this month.
The only thing I am not looking forward to is the possible return of these forums turning into unreadable garbage of people trolling, fighting and starting multiple threads about when or why Gingerbread is/isn't on the epic.
This thread has been nice though.

It will feel horrible because it will be a buggy mess. Let them get Froyo sorted out before they begin to use this as a buggy base of their Gingerbread build. I do believe Samsung will deliver Gingerbread, but dont even think it will be before Summer 2011. I have nothing against Samsung really. They could do better with software support though. And you will find ridiculous skepticism among people at XDA for anything positive that is "supposed" to be coming from Samsung in the future.
Thats true, well then, I guess, well just wait and see, anybody else want to share opinions?
updates!
I personally do NOT think we will ever see another update past froyo...
We might get a froyo update to fix bugs and what not but as far as 2.3 ect, they will leave the epic by the wayside and focus on the galaxy S2 series and other newer phones. The epic was just a complete failure and they know it, thats why they are come out with galaxy S2.
well idk, its a tough call...
took a long time for froyo...
but then you can look at it like "well samsung sees how the US folk are all pissed off so they might start trying to release more updates bla bla"
if the epic does get gingerbread, dont expect any update past that..because past that Samsung will expect us to do our part and buy another Samsung device.
I think personally Gingerbread will come just to rebuild some goodwill with the people of this country. Then maybe with that, we would buy the next uber Samsung phone. At least by getting Froyo, my Evo owning friend can now shut up how his Evo is soooooo much better than my Epic because it hbas Froyo (even after showing him my pics and videos look better, screen looks nicer, can play more vido formats natively) because that was the only thing he could point at. Now we're even.
If Gingerbread comes, it's not going to be for a while; otherwise, why would they have bothered releasing FroYo?

I went from "GB? Who cares?" to "GB! Awesome!" almost to "Whatever." Hope reviews are great and prerooted flash packages are in supply. The pre-Froyo urgency just isn't there but at least they're working on it. And maybe it really does squeeze much more performance out of it.
They don't need to be releasing any final version until they finally get the GPS crash/force close bug fixed, that'll be a deal breaker for thousands of people if they release anything official with that issue still in play.

They don't need to be releasing any final version until they finally get the GPS crash/force close bug fixed, that'll be a deal breaker for thousands of people if they release anything official with that issue still in play.

Exactly my thinking. All these people annoyed at another new build, meanwhile the one we have still doesn't work. Are they expecting Samsung to release it full of holes? With the current version rebooting and having no function GPS, I'm happy to see new versions hitting. Means hopefully they're actually working on the problem.
I still can't understand how what is now a legacy device can possibly give their engineers such problems with the modem and other comm chipsets. It looked to be all solidified in Froyo and now for GB it's the biggest boogeyman?! What are they trying to do...?
The problem isn't how many builds they're making, it's how long will it take them to get it right this time. No one wants the froyo situation to repeat itself with gingerbread.
