I seen a rumor that sprint premium account holders got a message saying look out for an announcement of a groundbreaking new device tomorrow. Supersonic anyone?
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/2010/03/23/htc-supersonic-to-be-announced-on-march-24.html
I love it. We are such phone geeks that we get excited about an announcement of another annoucement. I read VZW is announcing the Nexus tomorrow and been inpatiently wating. We are proud nerds.
I don't think it will be the Nexus. It will be the HTC incredible or maybe both?

I bought it the day after launch then got the Evo 3d on launch day. Now I just bought a used one off ebay for my mom to replace her Hero(my old phone before the 4g) It's been a blast playing around with one again. My 3D is better in almost every respect theres 2 things that bother me though. First is the new aspect ratio on the screen, the second is the great roms. We don't even have a rc for cm7 yet and our ics is nowhere near the 4g.
You'll be getting the real deal with ICS, so who cares how far along progress on something thats gonna get replaced is?
I wouldnt build ICS for the 3VO if its just gonna be replaced by an OTA. Wait for it to drop and customize from there.
The EVO 4g on the other hand, has a lot of development going on simply because its the only way we are going to get it.
sure is amazing the development that goes on for this phone. most other phones get left in the dust way sooner.

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.

Some people just don't get that even thought most of us are running a 2.1 rom - there are still issues.

As early as this month doesn't sound too concrete or confirmed to me. They haven't even pushed the 2.1 update with gps fix. I hope I'm wrong though.
As far as I know, this is coming from a Samsung tech employee in Finland, and is only stated for the international Galaxy S. I wouldn't expect this by the end of the month for our US Vibrant.
T's Response
I called T today to find out about the GPS fix that was leaked to come out today. I was transferred to T's Android Rep who stated that the GPS Fix is to be included in 2.2 and that he did not have a time for the release. He could not even speculate on the time frame for a release but that it was in the works and coming soon. I would not expect the update till late November but before Christmas. It could be pushed back even farther if there is any chance of there being some issues with the update to 2.2 The last thing Sam and T want is bad PR it would be a loss of sales and loss of customers. I believe they are going to test the crap out of the 2.2 update which will be nice to have a great stock rom.

Stop with your speculation. If Samsung waited till November, no one in these forums would still have a Vibrant. Every other phone to come out in the last few months has been updated to froyo (Droid X will be out soon, but has seen many leaked versions). Waiting till November would be a deathwish for Samsung. By then, Gingerbread might be out then the whole process would start over again.

you know what. im kinda tired of seeing these threads. I think Sammy And Tmo are gonna take there sweet ass time with this. Seeing as they alreay have your money from when you bought the phone ($400 full price, $200 New 2 yrs contract, or a penny if you got on the amazon ****) they dont really have to care. They provided a phone that worked. that was that. they dont have to update it. if they wanted to they could be like yeaaaaa **** it. and there is nothing we could do but cry and build our own roms for it.
Tmo has us real good tho. they get you for the monthly and if you ditch them before 2 yrs is up hey guess what your shelling out another 200 bucks for nuking the contract LOL. its all about money. theres rumours left and right about when its gonna get 2.2 - if it does it does if it dont it dont. not much we can do

I went through all the Vibrant Facebook Pages and found the one mentioning Froyo and there is no way in hell that is a Samsung managed page.
a) They bag on the Captivate - Samsung wouldn't do that
b) July 14th - Said "I just played with one" - Why would Samsung say that?
c) "Their review" links to http://thetechninja.wordpress.com/ - Why would Samsung do a review of their own phone?
So, rumor squashed, there is absolutely no basis for believing anything posted to that page. The OP here should not have said its the official Vibrant page when it clearly isnt.

So its Oct. 1 and still not information yet on if and when the TF2 will be released. I guess I will be buying a TF1 and then maybe selling it later on to get a TF2.. I did find a Store in my town that has nothing but the B60's in stock, so that is great information for me.

B60's are rootable, Some B70 with the serial number lower then B70KAS170XXX can be rooted anything above that, cant.

B60 was the last batch that was guaranteed to be rootable. Some of the B70s were, but it's a lottery. B80's onwards are unrootable currently.
Anything B50+ the manufacturing issues of early units were long since sorted, so B60 is the sweet-spot if you wish....
But now, newegg has the 16gb with dock for only 399.. might take a chance of on the lottery with that deal. Man decisions, decisions... get a rootable B60 with no dock or take the chance of not getting a rootable one and getting a free dock.
i say pull the trigger..used mine foe about 1 month + now, haven't really seen a need to root it...i think u're good even if u get a non rootable one..

Get it with the dock, they're ~$150 less than when I bought mine two months ago. You can basically consider it a free dock, at that price. You can use the keyboard with the TF2 when it comes out. Get used to it, love it, and maybe you won't need a TF2 (though Ice Cream Sandwich will be plenty tempting if the TF2 ships with it.)
I think my SN is like 10 numbers lower than the new bootloader cutoff, but I still haven't rooted. I haven't found any of the 3 main ROMs that would do enough above and beyond stock to make me want to.

Well I have pulled the trigger from Newegg, but not been able to root is deal breaker for me since I can't update the kernel to gain access to CIFS, Cisco VPN Client or other kernel enhancement.
Buy it from best buy and get their buy back plan. So when tf2 comes you can exchange it, only downside is you will get 250 back...

I would wait till November or December. The t2, when it comes out will be a beast, but if cannot be rooted, I am not going to get it. There will be more tablet selections and cheaper prices..a few weeks waiting will save headaches and money later.

I've been saying on here for months. I first heard about the transformer a year before asus debuted it. The rumor was asus was coming out with a tablet that also acts as a notebook. And it was coming out soon. That soon turned out to be a year.
I dont understand why people think the tf2 is just right around the corner. Nvidia said they were coming out with tegra 3 at end of october. Were going to believe asus engineers can incorporate the tegra 3 into their device and stamp out the bugs to make it usable in a couple days and ship in volume?
For those waiting for the tf2, keep waiting if you want. You are basing your belief on unconfirmed rumors. You also also believe in unconfirmed reports of aliens and big foot?
Where can I see if my new transformer is b60 or b70 or b80 ??
