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?

@ tyrnight
just because it's posted on Engadget today does not mean its recent news.
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.
We appreciate you posting this up for the people that havent seen it, but dont expect a standing ovation...

Never trust sprint, as never trust car dealer.
**** Sprint.
As soon as Nexus One is released for Verizon, I'm off.
And the difference between VZN and Sprint is? (Other than customer service)

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

Who cares? It'll almost certainly be leaked within the month regardless.
So it looks like they will be talking about the juicy parts of Android on Thursday. Here's the program guide guys.

the reason why they think it's june is because Adobe said that Flash 10.1 will be in android in june.
Then Google said that Flash will be in 2.2. Google never gave any date for 2.2/froyo. Hell they could even not announce it tomorrow since it's actually not known what the keynote is. Though obviously they'd be insane not to lol
Most likely 2.2 will be announced tomorrow with an SDK and will come out as an OTA to the Nexus/Droid and other phones starting in June

Seems like if Gingerbread is suppose to be official before the end of the year, something should have leaked by now. An early test build, some screenshots, maybe some video? All we have seen are a couple of shopped screenshots that show 3.0 as the build
Someone out there must know or have seen something Throw us a bone here!
It hasn't been leaked because you touch yourself.
Because people don't like breaking NDAs and losing their jobs?
Google will release it when they release it.
+1 to the poster above.
And judging by Froyo experience, I guess Nexus users will see "semi-official" test builds way before the official release, once these builds make it to beta stage.

Well that's what I'm saying. When Google showed Froyo at Google IO, it didn't OTA until almost 2 months after that. I was assuming that we would see a Gingerbread OTA before the end of the year. If timetables are similar that won't happen.
It just seems like we got more leaks and now its dried up lol

I don't think that anybody's even said that the next release will be version 3. It could be 2.3 or 2.5....
The only thing we've actually seen is some chicken little claiming that it would take a modern supercomputer to run it -- and THAT has been refuted.
... and time has PROVEN that EVERY chicken little making claims about the future of android is always wrong 100% of the time.
This year? lol, we won't see 3.0 until next year. IF we're lucky, Q1.

a google campus recruiter was at my university today. he was playing with a nexus one so i told him that i have one also. he said his was different so I asked him why and peeked at his screen and he suddenly pulls down the notification bar and says "oh it has at&t". this seemed like a silly reason so i asked what build he was running and he told me he couldn't say. I asked if it was gingerbread and he said yes. i asked him if he could tell me about new features and he said no.
i got some google chapstick and a google pen though.
I have been hoping leaks would start soon considering Gingerbread is supposed to be unveiled in mid October. I expect to see devices in the latter part of Nov.
Just like when 1.0 was unveiled and 2.0 was unveiled. They were followed by a device about a month after.

Cool story bro..
Mods. Please delete this. The date has already passed. FroYo will come out never. Done.
the skeptic in me will remain skeptical until i see something from sprint, but thank you for the info i have some hope since t-mo has their update available, maybe sprint will be more motivated to end the bad press and user backlash... time will tell.
Maybe a dev can choime in they always seem to have to inside track

Ecocee mentioned EA16 being a release candidate earlier in the week. Lets hope that we see something soon.
Funny, once some big-name websites (pcmag, yahoo finance, etc) started calling foul-play, Samsung and the carriers can magically get their updates out...

You are right! We should have made a stink back is November! Maybe the best thing to do from now on is to always raise a super-stink the minute a company misses their "promised" date. Then things get delivered!

I agree. It seems like things are finally coming around, but something still stinks behind the scenes. At the very least my guesstimate is that the updates were a very very low priority for either Samsung, the carriers, or both.

I don't really care much about a timeline for Gingerbread atm. I just want to be able to test my own Adobe AIR apps on my own phone. Once I can do that, I'll be happy.
I doubt.it will be this Tuesday cause every article I read says they have no clue when update will be given just that it will be soon. This sounds like the 12/26 thing again where all these people had the inside informants and it was def. Happening. Look where that went

Just for the record,I never said Tuesday,and 12/26 was deffinitly the planned release date at one point. So I wouldnt doubt sources,things dont always work out... And just because the update is not in the playbook does not mean we wont see one next week OTA... But I will say this for sure, source "Talks around the water cooler say everyone should be updated by 1/31/2011",so that tells me that roll out should start on or before 1/26/2011,so Tuesday or Wednesday... Again Im not gonna call that the date this time,because I already see the flame throwers coming out of the wood work.
Oh,and I can promise you Gingerbread is being worked on also...
