It looks like this time around the Droid x is going to get the gingerbread build before us
Hands-on with Gingerbread on Droid X http://bit.ly/dH0pvV
Does anyone remember that when our evo got froyo, Droid x got it a few weeks later! What you guys think?

I think there is already a thread about gingerbread on the evo here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866245
This thread make it seem like the Droid X and the Evo are both by HTC. Droid X is Motorola.

Really? Ha ha I would never thought of it like that, but man this would really sucked if my Droid x friends get official gingerbread first

Yea it seems that not only are motorola phones gonna beat us...but maybe *gasp* samsung as well. Definitely something to consider when buying HTC it seems.
I'll eventually be a google phone only guy with all the carrier/manufacturer bs going on.

Yeah that's the only reason that I'm reconsidering to get the evo 3D for nexus s but the GPS issue with Sammy's phones piss me off if it would made HTC it would be a non brainier, I know HTC is delaying to update the HTC evo to make people buy the new phones but I don't think is right, at the end I might end up staying with my evo and get the ipad 2 I got apps on my iPhone the looks like.they got ipad support so wouldn't have to buy them again LOL

And this is why I'm leaning towards a Nexus S over the Evo 3D.
i saw this thread just before i made one with the exact same topic. you beat me to it.
ya i agree. samsung has leaks out for some galaxy s already, most of which are still eclair btw, and now motorolla has leaks for the droid x and 2? what the hell is going on here? isnt htc supposed to be the company that comes out with everything first? when gb came out, there was a thread that said htc would update ~ February, motorolla around april, and sammy like summer. this seems completely backwards to me.
and didnt an htc rep say they were working on gb for evo around when nexus s was announced? i kno implementing sense is hard and takes a lot of difficult coding and stuff, but 4 months should be more than enough time for paid professionals.

Exactly what they want, Hell if we can get GB with sense 2.0 I'm sure most people are still going to buy the Evo 3D, it's a dual core phone! Of course most of us will buy it.
I hope the update comes with Sense 2.1. It has some sweet features.

If they pushed 2.3 for the EVO before the EVO3D was released it would actually make me want to buy the 3D more.
When I go to buy a phone now that I have experience with them.. I will look for a couple major things.
1. Battery life. Let's face it, new features are nothing if your phone dies in 6 hours.
2. Manufacturer/Dev support. If the EVO only gets one update then has to wait until the latest thing comes out before it gets another... then that's a HUGE setback for me, especially if we have a locked bootloader and AOSP roms aren't possible.
Samsung has a horrible rep but the battery life on their phones are reportedly outstanding. They aren't locking the phones down. They did stink it up in a HUGE way with the 2.2 update but if they push 2.3 out ASAP it goes a long way in my eyes.
I HATE HATE touchwiz, but if the phone isn't locked down then it doesn't much matter.
Samsungs phones are locked as well... the evo is too. Motos new phones are encrypted which is the problem.

I think a lot of people thought exactly what I thought. I saw the galaxy getting the official leak and thought what is going on. Htc is usually first on the scene with this type of stuff. Then today I saw motorola getting some love from the leaks. If both companies drop gingerbread before htc it will look bad on htc. They will be on 2.2 and everyone else on 2.3 and with the evo being seen as one of the best, it would be a shame. I hope HTC changes their mind and just drops gingerbread. I will even take Sense 2.0 and nothing else right now. The new features can come later.

Agree I don't care much for gingerbread what I want the most is a 100% working sense 2.0 desing for Evo with 4G , I know myn work in a nnice rom but I'm sure everyone agrees when I say that if HTC realese will be more stable and all features working and let EVO developers get their hand on it

i think...
moto and sammy are doing market clean up and PR repair.. knee jerk reaction to some surveys done last month about which OEM is faster and better support of upgrades/updates. HTC as at the top of most.
so here is moto and sammy trying to get public favor back. before they release their next big phone. and as most knee-jerk reactions.. the implementation will not be stable and full of bugs.. or low in features.
then back to waiting for the fixes and updates for the upgrade issues.
HTC is staying the course with their proven market strategy.
but I do hope that the quick release of gb on moto and sammy will quicken the gb release from htc on evo!
I like both phone, both has crazy specs, I have the evo now and love it. What I love about the evo is that there is so many roms to choose from. My main concern is which phone is easier to develop for and do you think Samsung development community would be as big as HTC development community. Not to mention that I love the cm roms and there roms is still in experimental stage for Samsung. I really answering my own question for the evo3d but that screen on the galaxy s2 is calling me.

I sold my EVO and bought an Epic back in December... big mistake for someone that likes to dev and tweak his phone. The Epic hardware is awesome, but the dev support is very lacking. Yeah, I could overclock my Epic and score 2400+ on Quadrant and it took great HD Video compared to the EVO. The screen was also beautiful. I traded the Epic for an EVO because I missed being able to dev. If you're the type of person that always wants to be on the cutting edge with the newest version of Android, then stay with what the DEVs are using (probably EVO3D). If you're someone that runs the same ROM for months at a time (i.e. not a flashaholic) then the Samsung S II may be best for you. It depends on what you're looking for and what you're looking to do with your phone.

Yup Evo 3D, even tho it might have lock bootloader like the thunderbolt, it will have more support from developers, and good ones too, virus is coming alone and myns wants too, I believe mik is coming and of course others

I wonder how long it will take them to crack the bootloader if it is indeed locked. I hope not too long. But its what ever. After running Virus' Kindom Port, ill be fine with stock un-rooted for a lil while
My only concern is developing for the EVO 3D as they have some new files that are going to be or may be difficult to work on. Only time will tell. I'm going to the EVO 3D because I love Sense and I can tell you right now the galaxy wont have that.
My favorite roms are myns for sense and cm7 for latest android roms. So I guess ill stay with HTC

I checked out both phones at Google IO. The galaxy S2 was so thin and the screen was amazing. Both phones were super snappy.
The only turnoffs for me on the galaxy s2 was the plasticky cover and the weight. Anyone who's owned a Samsung phone knows what i'm talking about with the plasticky feeling phones. But the weight of the S2 blew me away. I can't remember a lighter smartphone. It felt like a toy. It was basically "too light." I'm sure for many, that phrase doesn't even make sense, but for me, I like phones that feel solid and have some substance to them. For some, when they throw this phone in their pocket, they won't even know its there.
I have to hand it to Samsung though. The S2 is an impressive engineering accomplishment. Its the highest performance phone I've seen announced, and its so damn thin and light.
I'm personally a fan of sense, or at least having the option of sense, and I doubt that would ever fully translate to a Samsung product no matter what developers are working on it.
I really love the slab form of the GSII, if they release a HTC slab phone (like the Sensation) on Sprint, that would really be the phone I'd want. Evo 2?
HTC has better radios and gps, Samsung sucks!
the s2 does seem intriguing...also i hate that instead of hdmi out, the use usb and then give you a converter cable w/ an additional power source on it. plus, for some unknown reason, it seems we could be waiting a while before it actually hits the market in the states for some reason eventhough it is already in europe (gsm version). also, i hopped on to the evo 3d thread a while ago and the dev's were introducing themselves...there were LOADS of great dev's coming on board. With the specs and dev's on board, the 3d will have some spectacular features!
I am intrigued by the GS2 and the new version of Touchwiz... I HATE HATE HATE touchwiz, but the new version looks ok so far.
One thing that will keep me from considering the GS2 is if it has a physical keyboard. I don't know why Sprint has to be the one that gets that...
I'm going with the EVO 3D. The specs look awesome.
Neither, its all about the Nexus 3

Well, I have a person that is offering me an evo that is completely rootable, in exchange for my epic.. I am kind of on the fence here about this one. I know the EVO has better rom support, and everything, and I've always KINDA wanted one, but the recent progress on CM7 has me kind of wet.... Anyway, what do you guys think? Please be unbiased.

If you're gonna trade UP, do a 3devo, not a 2 generation old cpu on evo. That's called "downgrading" regardless of ROM community.
Basically it doesn't matter since both phones are at the end of their life, so even if you do trade you probably won't have the phone 3 months from now....

Epic blows the evo away hardware wise and were about to get gingerbread and cm7 etc etc etc and our developers are pretty solid IMO. I wouldn't do it personally. My gf has an evo and I've set hers all up and I def prefer my epic

Epic's SAMOLED screen tops Evo's washed out display
Epic has hardware keyboard, Evo does not
Epic has high quality 5MP cam, Evo has cheaper quality 8MP
Epic has superior Hummingbird chip, Evo has outdated snapdragon chip
Those are the reason I choose my Epic over an Evo any day.
Also...(although this might be more of an opinion) we might have less ROM's but they def make it up with their awesome *quality*, while the Evo has more of a *quantity*

This. It'd be silly of you, OP, to get the Evo due to it's successor the Evo 3D. Sure, the Evo has Sense 3.0 and cm7 support, but with the Evo 3D around the corner, the future of any more progression may not be so great. I say keep the Epic; the phone's community is growing more and more nowadays and the future of this phone will be much more rewarding, I guarantee.
Plus, we have Odin, so you never have to worry about bricking your phone.
Yeah, I talked to the guy and said No... I'll be sticking with the epic.... However, even though all the "evo guys left to 3d" they still have way more devs than we do. Some of their roms like Synergy look AMAZING, I really wish the Epic would get to that point in the near future.... I mean, epic is obviously a better phone, quadrant on gb pulls consistent 2800+ compared to evos bare 2100, but the Evo just has great roms...

Agreed on that. But wait until we have Gingerbread source and we should be getting some really good development.
EC05 got pretty good development, but right now our community just happens to focus on leaks more right now,
Once the leaks simmer down and Gingerbread is officially released w/ its source code and everything, we should be getting more goodies.
I really hope so... the only real devs we have are like the cm team and some of the miui team.....
Read the g1 forums. They got honeycomb and all kinds of twacked out crap. Mytouch 3g.... these phones don't get good TIL they are end of line.

So I see that the HTC Rezound dropped down to $50 today, and I've been looking for a cheap 4g phone that isn't the stratosphere. This "looks" like a good deal, except I know absolutely nothing about HTC phones.
The beats audio thing looks pointless to me, but does anyone have any thoughts on the rest of the phone? I am entirely clueless about this so any insight is appreciated.
Thanks

the rezound is a good phone. with an unlocked bootloader, 4g, hd screen and htc, its a good upgrade. plus you could even sell the earbuds and make all your money back id say go for it if you dont mind a phone on the thicker side lol
it's a nice phone, especially at that price. good specs, nice HD screen (though not amoled so not quite as vibrant) and fast data. I'd recommend it, especially with the ics upgrade coming in a few days.

Coming from someone who really doesn't enjoy touchwiz at all, is sense enjoyable to use? It doesn't look like the Rezound has any ICS source which worries me, but maybe I'm more worried than I should be because Samsung destroyed my confidence in custom skins?
I might just have to get my AOSP fix from my Gtab, but I'm also just realizing how awesome the Fascinate is.
Thanks again!

being that i came from an htc eris, i can say sense is nice but laggy...and samsungs are still about the easiest to mod. unfortnately ICS source would have to be out before i would make the switch...gingerbread blowz!
Hardware wise, it's a pretty good phone for $50. I personally wouldn't be interested in it since (sorry to be harsh) but AOSP development looks... less than promising. Wouldn't be terribly interested in sense. There will be official ICS soon, but it's with sense 3.6, not version 4, which looks like the only decent iteration of sense in ages.

It looks like all they need is s-off (which from what I can see is very close to being completed) to gain access to the nand partition, and ICS kernel source.
So I guess I need to find out if HTC is good about releasing kernel source, if they are I might just pick this up.
4G tethering to my tablet is just so tempting...om nom nom!
if you like sense (or think you might), its probably worth getting
i wouldnt your breath for aosp though as they dont have any experienced aosp guys who own the phone or are working on it
really though being tied to that phone for 2 years might be kinda rough imo...id soldier on and wait for any news on either a better htc (hopefully a one series) or the sgs3 and try and pick up a charge on the cheap on craiglist ebay (cant be more than 125 these days) if you need lte

Get it then! It's arguably the best phone on Verizon. Dual core. Hd screen. Unlockable bootloader. One of the best cameras. You really can't go wrong. You can wait it out for a better phone (gs3 or HTC one series), but don't get your hopes up. Good luck and choose well because you only have 24 hours. Plus try to use amazon wireless. Free shipping no tax some extra free apps and I got a free car charger!

They are working on RIL for CM9. Once that gets worked out (and they do have experienced AOSP guys working it), and ICS kernel source drops it'll be done. From what I understand, there are quite a few devs that are ready to start working on the Rezound when the s-off method is released.
For everyone bagging on sense, it really is a matter of opinion and taste. I'm running a Sense 4.0 Rom that was just released today and it is really nice. Still needs some work and polish, but it is running very well. It's funny, a lot of people complain about Sense being ugly, but it is amazing how many people want to run an AOSP Rom but also have a lot of the Sense widgets like the flip/weather clock and animations, and Friend Stream (which I personally can't stand), and the app drawer. Personally, I like both and think they both have their strengths and weaknesses.
What AOSP devs do they have and what's the status of S-OFF?

dmeadows3,synisterwolf, and droidvicious (MIUI) are two that I know of. Plus two awesome devs that usually work on Sense Rom's (Joelz and newtoroot) I believe said that they are going to contribute to the RIL issues too.
As for S-Off, last week globatron and his team did a very short closed beta on a method for S-off and successfully attained s-off on several peoples rezounds. We are just waiting for them to get it ready for prime-time and then we're golden.
I can't wait for CM9 and Miui v4 on this phone to be honest.
Nice, hopefully things speed up from this point and they can get some good AOSP development. Without solid AOSP rom support, it'll be hard for me to upgrade.
I suppose I just thought it was funny how a bunch of rezound people were talking about how much greater the rezound is than the nexus, "wait until we have CM9, this thing will spank the nexus!". This was like 5 months ago when the phones were coming out (and still no AOSP), but I still see comments like that. I don't really care since I don't have either device, just thought it was mildly amusing. Not saying AOSP roms won't happen, but most of the people you mentioned port sense roms, which as I understand, is a different animal then building from source.
Hopefully they can get the RIL figured out.
So, this is currently i think sprints best phone. But my main question, is it going to be upgraded to android 4.0? Its currently only 2.3 and with its hardware and what not, will it be upgraded? cant find it on Google or bing or anything.
Oh and bringing this up because i don't think il upgrade to the EVO LTE.. Il probably go to the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G. Best phone ive ever seen

By far the best. I have one. ICS is in the process. They are working more bugs out. If you haven't seen it yet it is themed with touchwiz still... Not sure when the ota is, but it will be getting pushed out. If you go to sammobil.com you can see the current rdf too.
Isn't 4G going away?

The towers will stay active until 2014 or something.

I upgraded from the OG evo and am thoroughly impressed. And I wad going to wait for the evo lte but is 4g will only be available some places so they'll still be stuck on 3g

I am kind of in this situation as well. I am having the upgrade itch. However I dont even think I am eligible yet but not like that would stop me. I look at the new LTE and it looks nice but effectively for me it would be just a fancy 3G phone I am not getting LTE anytime soon so I am stuck with WiMax which is fine it works great for me and my area. I currently have a EVO 3D and OG EVO. My EVO 3D already has the ICS leak and its pretty solid. Least the ROM flavor that I am running. I am just wondering if its worth to migrate over to the SG 2? What the dev community like? Anything like the EVO series? Or should I just give into the hot trend and grab the EVO LTE just because its cool....

Go galaxy. Sense is just boring to me now and 4g only works in 20% of places in the US. Watch reviews on the Samsung galaxy s 2 epic touch 4g. It has a really cool user interface and is so smooth and it IS the holy grail of android. LTE is just a weird looking sense and new clock.. can get the same thing with swags SOS X Rom. The point of upgrading is a new phone. Not the same thing as before. And Samsung is working in android 4.0 as an update
