Hopefully they announce release dates for the Nexus One and Evo 4G...The Nexus One should be release around the same time as the 2.1 upgrade...
APRIL FOOLS....dont you hate that?

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
oh man bodies would be hittin the floor

HOW do you know it? Speculations!
I am waiting for the oficiella version, (modified roms here now have too many bugs) even if it takes in the autumn
But I am impressed by chef´s which has done a great job for us to test version 2.1
there's more chance of a dual booting iPad running Android 6.4
coming out than a timely update for the hero lol. September doesn't seem so bad, my contract is up for renewal then..Sent from my Hero using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
There are already many threads to the update!
We have to wait,I think all other speculations,
because HTC seems to be unsure themselves!
so, is it tomorrow then? on the 16th??

if you don't have a source for that you could be so kind to mark it as sarcasm somehow, not all newbies get it necessarily.
So whats special with that update
Custom roms are better anyway
How many of you guys will update to the official ROM...and stay using it...
Like i said Custom roms is still better

No sarcasm, I have a friend who's working at a phone house who told me. That's, by the way why I don't trust the other source who's telling everybody 16th of April (and now, like magic, end of april!).
BTW: Is it that bad that newbies wouldn't get it? People are announcing wrong dates almost everyday and my indication gets flagged somehow?
This was the only official statement from HTC regarding something new for Hero, all the rest was whishfull thinking, rumours and foolish comments:
Press Release from February 16th
Availability
The new HTC Legend will be available in Europe through Vodafone and in the direct channel beginning in April. It will roll out to other parts of the world including Asia in early Q2. HTC Desire will be broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets in early Q2. The HTC Desire will be exclusively available in Australia through Telstra. The enhanced HTC Sense experience will also be offered as a free upgrade on the HTC Hero in Europe and Asia.

So, the dates for Legend and Desire were very precise, a date for the enhanced experience on Hero was intentionally left open ...
I got this info in a sms today from my operator Ventelo:
Information from Ventelo:
HTC will shortly come up with an updated version of the operating system on some of their mobile phones. The update must be loaded directly onto the phone, and is 100Mb. Ventelo therefore recommend that users of these mobile phones updates via wireless networks and mobile networks.

The problem with the 2.1 ROMs we have now is, even though they are spectacular, they're not 100 percent. There are some things that are broke.

Not to mention we don't have legit .29 Kernel source...I have a feeling Toast may have something or just a really bastardized .27 kernel source.

I wouldn't say exactly 20th but 19th-21st seems like the possible days...unless sprint pushes the date up like T-Mobile did.
This just means thats when they are having an episode about it, how do you know this is the release date?

The theory is that since the Captivate and the Vibrant's episodes were on the "official" release dates, that the Epic's episode could be on it's official release date. While the Vibrant was actually available July 15th, the phone wasn't actually officially to be released until the 21st.
I'm personally hoping for an earlier date... like, Sunday, July 25th. I've saved up my dough for it already.
Wahh! That's a bit long of a wait. Im hoping the first week of August. But middle august gives me time to put up my nexus for sale.

Back to topic...
I wonder if this phone will be like the other galaxies? What I mean is I've read reviews that say it has a kinda (cheap) plastic feel to it. I hope not. I hope the build quality feels solid. Only reason I'm interested is I miss the hardware keyboard I had with the moment. Some might think I'm crazy, but I'd prefer this over my evo. Oh yeah, I'd yank that stupid touchwiz out for vanilla or AOSP in a heartbeat!

No idea. I know that one of the members of the CM team has been developing a recovery for the Galaxy S, so it probably isn't out of the question.

There is already a ClockworkMod recovery for the Galaxy S:

I would guess that some mods can be used with all the models. Roms or kernels would be unique to each model and carrier because of slight hardware differences and radios operating frequencies and technologies. I'm no hacker or dev, but that's what my common sense is guessing.

Anyone have a twitter and can Twitter that Ep1 on August 20th to SamsungMobileUS

I want to see if they will cough up and admit it was the release date...make sure to mention the other Ep1 were always on release dates..
@ Entropism
"That won't be happening, with 100% certainty."
Wow, 100% sure? Do you something we don't? I have a friend who asked a sprint sales rep here in Florida about the Epic and he told him there were no new devices coming out until the holidays. That's pretty sad how some sprint sales reps are so clueless about new devices. That's not a dig at you and it probably wont released the first week of Aug.
I'm sure noobnl will put out a good ROM for it, I decided to take this one over the evo, sorry HTC =/ I can't wait!
The 20th is so far away! I keep waking up hoping its the 20th, but its not even the end of July yet! *impatience*
Just saw pictures of the upcoming HTC Vision, and that keyboard doesn't have ANYTHING on the epic!

I'm the person in my store who was selected to get the device early. We get it a month before it gets released publicly, so we can train our coworkers on the device. I'm expecting it this week, so I expect the release to be around 8/20 (as was rumored).

This just my 2 cents. I believe that the Verizon update leaked about on the 1/10 is to allow the phone to be updated by Kies. Granted, this week is CES, and Verizon is lauching new LTE phones, but I also see this as an opportunity for Samsung to announce updates to their Galaxy S lines in the US. Considering how many of these phones have sold, if there isn't an announcement at CES, there may never be one, lol. But I believe they will say something, because they want to build up the Galaxy S brands, and you really can't do that by screwing consumers out of an update for a Free Mobile OS.
It is really most likely a bug fix, hence why it's called MR2 (Maintainence Release). Most likely it's DL09. NOT froyo.
It may actually be our beloved froyo that we've been waiting for.
But honestly, I'm waiting for jt and co's gingerbread...
Who cares .... for those who don't frequent IRC, here's today's status: "You'll notice there is not AOSP status here, thats because we got the .35 kernel booting and have moved to gingerbread...have a nice day"
i would be on IRC just watching whats going on if nothing else... but i couldnt tell you how to access it lol
