Our beloved Hero isn't on the list, but the MyTouch3G Slide is, perhaps that will mean an easy port eh?
Hmm. The Hero isn't in any of the categories... I guess the Evo buried the other Sprint Androids.

Yeah the Hero is more than capable to run it. Kind of disappointing but not suprising, Want Froyo, buy a new phone. I wish Google had the power to say, want to sell an Android phone? Then push our updates to all android based phones you sell.

Yeah it's bull**** IMO. Im sick of the hero being treated like an ugly step child because of the almighty evo. It's bull**** we won't get a froyo update either.

Well the last craze to get updated to Froyo seems as though it may end up being short lived as I came across this today: http://www.androidcodex.com/gingerb...edium=rss&utm_camp aign=gingerbread-is-coming
2 months for a GB release, then we wait for root (which might be very quick) and/or wait for HTC to Sense-ify GB, then we get it on the Evo. Froyo's got a few months left in it - about as long as Eclair had on the Evo.
Or maybe it will live up to the hype and HTC will leave it alone and just push it without a new UI.
Personally, I can't wait for 3.0. I'm really hoping it comes a lot closer to being as nice looking and easy to use as iOS. I came from an iPhone and loved it, but I love Android a little bit more; I don't know why I like it more, but I do, however, the apps are really ****ty when compared to iOS and the UI is pretty rough in some areas - sense or aosp.
Google really needs to step it up and hire some graphic designers that can't code at all.
Whoot Whoot !!!
bring it on Google

that's pretty cool. I wonder where they got their sources from though? I really would like to see what kind of UI google puts on gingerbread though. And of course, whether or not motorola/HTC/samsung will still blur/sense/touchwiz it...

I read from a few places that Gingerbread would do away with 3rd party UI's like Sense. It would have to be pretty fricken sweet to get me away from Froyo Sense. I mean, how much faster could it get?

Moto said blur was pretty much dead -as far as new updates goes- on all of their higher end phones, today.

very cool, maybe ill finally upgrade from the original htc 2.1 rom to GB when it comes out!
Dang it...I saw no mention of "smoother UI experience". The only thing that really bothers me is how choppy the interface is despite a 1Ghz CPU.

More than 30fps will never be part of the evo, htc has said many times that its a HARDWARE limitation, they lied for a reason. To cover their ass. I dont see them exposing their own lie, ever.

I think the statement was that Google was aiming for UI that was nice enough to DISCOURAGE manufacturers from layering their own environment over the top, which would hopefully save resources.
But read this.

Even if we don't get it from HTC (unlikely) with the dev's we have, I'm sure the evo will run gingerbread one way or another... if the g1 can run froyo... anything can happen

Some dev with port it if anything... I don't see why we wouldn't get it. The phone meets the specs and I don't see them abandoning the EVO so quickly.

Hey all,
Just thought I would inform you that my Epic 4g is officially ordered, and I will receive it in approximately one week. Not only do I want to thank everyone for their amazing support of me for my time on the hero forum, but I'd like to let you know what I will maintain while I'm gone in the Epic section. I WILL still maintain my Q&A section, and will look for questions in my Themes. I will not be releasing new versions of themes, however. If you all would like the themes ported for the latest versions of CM, feel free to do that I just want to let everyone here know that they've helped me develop as a themer and developer, and I will miss this section. And please, feel free to join me as an Epic user
Thank you all again,
-theimpaler747

The Motorola i886. Its a nextel direct connect phone that i saw while looking at sprints phone shop online. However, i noticed it looks exactly like android, and when i looked at the guide, it has a notifications key, 3 homescreens, widgets, etc. Just curious, cause they never mention android when talking about the phone.

Yes. It runs android 1.5 but without a touchscreen, it's so heavily modded it's barely recognizable as Android.

LMAO. Agreed. Seriously though, yes, they are some great new features. Trouble is Apple is now playing catch up. They present this crap as if it's an industry first. There was literally nothing that I saw that hasn't already been done by Android.
Did I just see people suggest that a carrier carrying a phone, that most the other carriers are going to have, is a reason to leave that carrier?

well for those with ipad 2's that cant jailbreak ios 5 may just be a blessing with some of those features jailbreakers already have
Personally, one less difference between competitors. Now more about the network. Sprint fails in my area. Of course, YMMV in yours.
It is a legit concern how much Apple's influence will hinder a carrier's Android phone development. The Apple hater in me says they will be a black hole that will surpass any nightmare Stephen Hawkins awoke from.
