I think its the SMS fix

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

The only update I'm looking out for is this one!

Yeah I wouldn't expect anything in the way of 2.1 just yet. When I had a blackberry they would literally release like 5 or more leaks before the actual update. We've had 2 so far that I know of.

I'm following the Sprint forums and they're saying 2.1 update will be out by the end of the day.

I learned not to count on anything when it comes to "release" dates for roms/upgrades. If something comes today, awesome. Otherwise whatever, I'm rather pleased with my 2.05

You're the "Sprint Representative/Technician/Manager", why dont YOU tell us...Or, is your title just a glorified title for "Sprint Lackey"?

LOL Bastards!!! Its funny, I took the test and passed everything for the Rep position here in Rancho, but for some reason they never call me back. LOL They probably get scared when they see I worked for Verizon and at&t. LOL

the admins on the sprint forums already stated (many times) that the 9th was a date provided through false information. in other words, the mom people had pics of, was wrong.

I don't even think Dan Hesse knows when the update is, lol

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.

Yea I figured as much. I did some consulting work for at&t a few years ago and I wasnt too fond of their practices either. Once I was finished there I bolted with a quickness.

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.

Rebuttal to the thread that says no Froyo till 2011...talkandroid.com says otherwise.

ps... the source is supposedly some samsung guy at a bbq, believe what you want.

I heard they were skipping Froyo altogether and are planning on a december gingerbread release. I heard this form a reliable voice in my head.

I heard I was going to invent a device to stab people in the face over the internet. I'm going to use it on the next person who posts a thread like this.

This changes everything, again.

get a different phone, write your own ROM, or stfu already

****...if the small Samsung GPS update that was pushed to me on Sunday and immediately bricked my phone is any indication of how Samsung does their updates... screw it, I'll wait for CM on Vibrant.

Want Froyo? Buy a Nexus One... or a G2... If we knew when we were getting Froyo, we'd tell you.

If you had it you would just be whining about the next update. But yeah, where is it!!!

Why? Were you promised it by Samsung or TMO on a specific date and we are months past that date? It is ridiculous to ***** and moan about it. Try Bionix, its wicked fast, can't imagine that 2.2 is going to blow my socks off after having Bionix on my Vibrant.

Fascinate Getting Gingerbread 2.3 Instead of Froyo 2.2

I just spoke to a Rep at the Verizon store in Humble, Texas named Isabel. She told me that she spoke to their Samsung Rep today and he told her that they are skipping the Froyo update and going straight to Gingerbread. No word on when though.
There phone number is 281-446-0415 if anyone would like to call and verify.

This **** is getting old .... let's please stop with these threads.

Well im not sure about OTA but birdman got. 35 kernel booting so there working on porting gingerbread if you don't believe me check the irc channel

Devs working in Gingerbread is an entirely different animal than a release from the vendor.
I'd be REALLY surprised if they gave 2.2 a miss entirely.

Stuff like this means nothing. We've seen things like this one too many times. Take nothing they say at face value, because it's already been proven to be false a majority of the time in the past.

Samsung reps and Verizon reps don't know much more than we do. Take anything they say with a grain of salt.

Agreed.

The only way you will ever see GB on the Samsung is via the work of the devs.

yeah, and it was running on my Incredible
until I unrooted and gave it to my wife

it would be a huge victory for Samsung to pass on froyo and release GB within the week. It would catapult them past HTC and motorola in the significance area of Android development. I think they need to do this if they want to regain lost respect.
Since Nexus S is galaxy S with GB on it already and is basically 99.9 the same as our phone, I definitely think it's doable. I would definitely prefer gingerbread. I want it just for the newer copy/paste feature.

God man, all this misinformation. Let me clear it up for you. We are most likely NOT going to skip froyo (2.2). Gingerbread (2.3) has ALREADY BEEN RELEASED and it is on a phone called the Nexus S on T-Mobile USA. Honeycomb (2.4 or 3.0) is for tablets in its current form. Man, this getting ridiculous.

Some could take it with a grain of salt rather than attacking the poster for relaying what he was told from, what should be, a reliable source.
I had heard about Samsung skipping froyo on another forum. I don't think it's true but I guess we'll see.
Thanks for sharing info.
