Hey guys! Every android phone is getting 2.2 exept the hero. But don't worry.... we'll give you an updated 2.1 that fixes sprint TV and NFL mobile....... The crowd goes wild!
If they really are only releasing an updated 2.1 then they really are major a-holes.

i agree, we do not need a 2.1 update when almost every other phone gets 2.2. who knows maybe they will surprise us with froyo.

Not true. We would need a Legend/Aria/MT3G Slide 2.2 ROM to port it over. IIRC, the Desire has an ARMv7 processor while the Hero has an ARMv6 processor

it is going to happen the nexus one can run it. Our phone is much more powerful that the the nexus S is very similar. They pulled back froyo. All signs point to us getting it but it will most likely take 2 months for binaries to be released and a build to be compiled. And I don't want to hear the nah sayers going on and on that you can't trust samsung blah blah blah... Even noob said we are getting it and I know he is on this inside track.

This isnt 3.0 it is a build upgrade from 2.1 a totally new build takes about 6months and upgrade is about 2 months.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

We will probably get it around the time that 3.0 comes out or 3.1 usually how it works. 2.3 comes out now..sprint releases 2.2 to epics... at least we get updates faster than most US carriers do. Look at evo. Sprint plz OTA 2.2 already.

Droid already has 2.2.1 - boss man got it last thursday OTA i think. He isn't rooted.
Droid X went live on the 10th as well.

All in all google is going to greater lengths to help push out the updates faster. Its one of the biggest gripes with android. Look to the gingerbread update to change things. After gingerbread android os will be much more uniform.

I expect things to change greatly once 3.0 comes out..this is when release cycles for android will slow down thus giving manufacturers more leeway..

Agreed. I think they are planning on phazing out UI overlays as well when 3.0 comes out. No more motoblur, sense, tw, etc. For the tech geek we like it because we port things over from other platforms. But the Ios boobs they just want something shiny and homoginized, and that's probably the demographing android wants to really take on

Utter misinformation.
As of today, Samsung's U.S. Galaxy S support site on Twitter still denies that there has been any such announcement.
@JoeBatson no official statement about updating US Galaxy S line to 2.3 has been made & we aren't prepared to discuss this at this time.

I think we will see Gingerbread in the form of a flashable rom before we see an official release, if we even see one. I hope we do.

Upgrade to 2.2 now or wait for 3.0?

So I'm in the fence about upgrading my stock, rooted epic to 2.2. Now with gingerbread in the works, should I even bother with going to froyo and just wait?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Well I wasn't particularly concerned with a Samsung released version of 3.0, as there is a "release" of 2.2 out for the Epic.

I would upgrade to 2.2 cause gingerbread source codes haven't been released yet...so it will take time for the Dev to port 2.3 over,cause their waiting for the source codes for 2.2 and 2.3....hope this helps
Just for the record gingerbread is 2.3 not 3.0....

The second sentence is correct.
This first one is not, unless you are just recalling rumor and speculation. Neither Samsung nor Sprint ever said Froyo would be delivered to Epics before the end of the year. Of course, the end of the year is now 17 days away.

Maybe not releasing it will help sales due to Vibrant owners upgrading to the Galaxy S2..... who knows. Or maybe T-Mobile is halting it's release for the same reason. Only time will tell.
