Wrong forum....
Not happening
Unfortunately this is not true. The evo is coming out May 24th. Therefor there is no time for a preorder. I am a sprint rep So watch for it soon
I think I might puke
MODS, can we get this guy banned just to make an example out of him?
Please?

dude, calm your b**ls. stop bit***ng, maybe he fu***d up but that isn't for you to whine about. seriously
Confirmed, I'm a Shack employee, we got the memo a couple days ago.
*edit* though I expect it will be a 'pre-order' consisting of the "wireless virtual inventory program" and will probably happen a few days before the official release (if indeed it is May 24). This might not be what most would consider a full blown pre-order. Too early to say.

Why would I do that? He simply posted in the wrong place thinking that Sprint users might be happy to know about this. If we banned every user that posts in the wrong place, about 50% of the member would get banned.

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!

I would take that with a grain of salt, if I had a dime for every article I saw that had a date in it, I'd have enough money to buy Google and get 2.1
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.

damage referenced an update in a few weeks. im quite sure he knows the factual release date of 2.1, but cannot tell. if we know not to expect a major update from damage for a few weeks, we can assume itll be after the official update.
the mr is probably for the mms issues or something we read in that memo? idk...dont be expecting 2.1 though

Vince, different areas have different requirements, but I know that Verizon where I live will rarely hire someone with prior cell phone experience. They want to brainwash you with their ways and methods, for the most part. Not sure about AT&T, when I interviewed with them, I was so turned off to their practices, I pretty much told them I wasn't interested right then & there. Never expected a call back, nor did I want one. Going back to Sprint this week, so my sources will be in full effect, I'll see what tidbits I can get you guys.

a couple of android sites are reporting that they've been invited a press event where they'll have a "special announcement" i'm hoping it's about the SGS2 but more likely it'll be either the Infuse or the AT&T Nexus S. but you know... hope springs eternal.

not counting the kyocera echo of course
OP, the majority of people in that old thread "In USA: Where to Pre-Order" think this is the Samsung Infuse and not the Samsung Attain yet, in my opinion the AT&T's version of SGS2, because of the first 3 letters. There is no way VZW, Sprint or TMOB are taking that name. Well TMOB could.

So is that it? They're gonna call it the Attain here in the US? And those other names that popped up with it, you think those will be for the other carriers? Do you think they will be any different from one another? But yea I see what you mean, how the first three letters of Attain are ATT.
Lol, anyways, people were also saying it's probably Nexus S for AT&T, but no, who gives a **** about that, we don't care about that one either. Get out, this is SGS2 and we are finally going to get it!

I just hope that doesn't mean T-Mobile is gonna get it before us AT&T users. Although, I don't care as much if it means were getting closer to getting it.
But no, they won't get it first, because they're announcing it for us on May 5th!

I say...
they announce the Infuse release date and throw up some other flagship in there as well.
I hope it's the Samsung Infuse with Dual Core.
But seriously, it's probably just the Infuse we saw back in CES that they're going to announce.
