Been watching the threads and the last I heard, the speculation was that the OTA release of 2.3 was going to drop on Dec. 6 (Monday). Does anyone have any updated info and is this still the target date?
who said this?????
That could possibly be when the nexus one gets it, but the evo wont get it for a while.

That was just a 2 part security update that the N1 got. It wasnt 2.3. We wont see it till 2011
Nexus One might see Gingerbread by Christmas.
Odds are, we'll see the Gingerbread SDK, Nexus S, and official Gingerbread announcement sometime between the 6th and 20th.
naw id say late winter the evo will get it.

Maybe from a DEV but not officially. Sprint and HTC are not that fast.
They were the fastest carrier out there for the 2.2 update though.

That is true.
I'm not to hyped because I haven't herd of any big changes. Once they say the new Sense UI will be added in the update, then ill be hyped for it.
And why dies the N1 always get everything first??

N1 is an Android Developer Phone. Will always get updates first. HTC Dream (G1) was ADP1, HTC Ion given out at I/O was ADP2 (magic/mytouch3g), N1 is ADP3.
And I'm damn excited. Not as much as when cupcake/donut dropped and made the G1 actually usable, but excited none the less. More excited about the Nexus S tho...
Thanks for clarifying that, I've always wondered but never bothered to look into it cus it was just a stupid question that wasn't important. And maybe a little jealousy

I was told by a T-Mo rep that Froyo is being pushed out over the Air Starting on December 13th.
Has anyone got the update yet?
He told me that if I dont get it today to call back tomorrow and they will force my phone to get the Froyo update.
quick, get a fire extinguisher.

I suggest you erase your first post or your in for a lot.
Unless you post screenshots, no one will care. Not trying to be mean, everyone is just tired of hearing the same old thing.

Wow, some people are just to clueless.
Why in the world would you make the topic of your post "rolling out now" if you have no idea that it's really rolling out. Wow.

EDIT: Notice - this was originally posted in the Hero CDMA General forums and was moved by a mod here. If you are lost about all the HeroC discussion, this is why.
My Hero is getting to be jealous of all these big brothers... http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/htc-evo-4g-shift-handled-on-video-by-wirefly/
Tempting. I do enjoy physical keyboards, so maybe that is why. 1,400 stock quadrant scores.
Comparison Discussion already been happing on this very forum.
Might be time to say goodbye to the Hero...
I am definately thinking about running out on Sunday to pick this bad boy up. I've been drooling over the Desire Z/G2.
Here's another video Evo Shift/Evo Schmackdown: http://www.wirefly.com/learn/resources/cell-phone-comparison/htc-evo-shift-vs-evo-4g-schmackdown
I'm with you Brando. Probably won't be getting it on launch day, I've got obligations before then, and don't get paid til the 14th. So maybe pick it up on the 15th?
I'd want it if they made a 4G-less version. $10/month surcharge for something I can't use in my area, no thanks.
I'm torn between the two.
The bigger screen size is a major plus. However, after using the Hero for a year, I definitely miss having a physical keyboard.
The Shift is new, whereas the original Evo is 6+ months old.
Decisions, decisions...
Can't wait to pick one up myself.

I just returned my Evo that I got last week and will be picking up the Shift on the 9th. I will definitely be buying it at Radio Shack rather than the Sprint store though! The Evo was just too big, but now my Hero looks so small!
So - back with my Hero for another week
I am returning my evo to get the evo shift 4g at radio shack tomorrow

I wonder how long it's going to take to get root on this sucka.
I imagine since the G2/DesireZ have been rooted it shouldn't take too long.
I will be looking forward to throwing an AOSP ROM on this bad @ss mutha and overclocking it.
I'm thinking about it too....but wasnt the HTC Sabor supposed to come out Q4 last year or Q1 this year....i guess it's just a rumor but with lg optimus 2x....don't they need to compete....I might wait couple months to see...

Picking mine up in the am hoping root comes quickly

Is anybody making the jump to this phone from the Hero? I told myself I was going to wait for a dual core phone from HTC but it seems like that'll be a while. I might settle for this especially considering it's only 150 and I could pick one up right now from Radio Shack.
looking to buy this ASAP. My upgrade is Feb. 1st.
I may go buy it from Best Buy outright, put it on my credit card, return it on Feb. 2nd and rebuy it with my upgrade.
I tweeted with twelpforce on Twitter.

I'm going to head over to Best Buy tomorrow and see how it goes.
just got mine from best buy.... pretty sweeeeeeeeet. wish i could root it... im going to try the unrevoked method for the evo. i found out how to get to hboot with it (vol down + power) easy.

Saw this on another forum:
Chiming in to say I was able to just root my Shift. Installed Superuser app from market, installed z4root. Ran it to temporarily root and it claimed to but didn't work. Ran it again and superuser app popped up asking to grant access. Did so, remounted root, copied su and busybox binaries to /system/bin.
I'm really surprized that Google doesn't plug whatever root exploit this is. I mean I'm glad they don't, but it just seems odd.

I see this is already posted, but why is Engadget just picking this up? Is this a bigger deal now? I know we're U.S. CDMA, so does that mean this new OTA means absolutely nothing for us? Until it officially comes to the U.S. eventually? With how long the 2.2 update took I'm really nervous we'd never get an update but if they're already rolling out across Europe... anyone know anything else? I'm getting my Fascinate on Friday!!!
This isnt for us at all. We will get GB, but not for awhile (my guess is September/october)
Dont try an flash this puppy, you will be in for a world of hurt

Nothing to flash, it's an OTA update. The link is just a link to the Engadget story. And looks like GB 2.3.3 is being pushed out not 2.3.4. Don't know the difference, but I know there is a 2.3.4 out there.
Sooner or later someone will put it in flashable form so I figured I would just throw that out to save (mostly you guru's) someone the pain of "I flashed i9000 GB..." threads

Yes, they are. Still, even though Verizon will no doubt take months on end to push out gb, assuming they don't EOL this phone first, we still might get Mesmerize gb before then (like we got Mesmerize EC10 Froyo before we got ED01 from Verizon)

You mean for the unofficial leak? Because the Fascinate will be EOL'ed by Verizon long before that.
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
its so ridiculous how fast manufacturers push out new devices. yay you have the latest and greatest! and you just shat all over everyone who's had your phone for a year. wtf man. ha. i had an eris, and really don't think this phone should ever be in the same boat as that phone. never should've bought that eris, should've gone straight to the Droid 1. so does no one do GSM to CDMA conversions? They did a couple for my Eris (thank you punk.kaos) and for the Droid 1, the "Mobile Networks" option was usually the only thing not working eventually. I'm new the fascinate, actually not getting mine till tomorrow, but I'm really eager to get a truly open phone. my droid 2 was killing me bro. oh well, so long as we get gingerbread eventually. and honestly if CM7 is ready before the end of June, who needs an OTA? Android Devs FTW!!!

It's a joke, because the end of the world (according to conspiracy freaks who take everything they read to the Nth degree) according to the Mayan calendar is 12/21/2012, or the Winter solstice of 2012.

The guys who made the Mayan calendar probably stopped at 2012 because they were just tired of making calendars and figured "surely someone will pick up where we left off sometime in the next 2000 years"
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
lol, yeah. If you look at the calendar, it's a giant wheel.
They probably thought "Hey, instead of adding ANOTHER ring to this, why don't we just create a new calendar once 2012 rolls around?"
I miss you!! Today i lost my htc evo with the damn stupid gb 2.3.3 and filed an insurance claim... Crossing my fingers i get a froyo 2.2 refurb replacement!! I've been seeing that some poeple have been lucky enough so hopefully im lucky enough as well =) fingers crossed............ If you miss froyo 2.2 show your luv!!
cool story mane
Do you miss Froyo, or the ability to root your phone? Big difference, because the stock Froyo build was, in my opinion, garbage. If I have to have an unrootable phone, thank God it's with 2.3.3 and not the factory ROM that I had when I got my first EVO.
well if you end up getting a GB phone, the only other thing you can hope for is that it has S-Off
Quite honestly, I don't think the GB update is that bad. I would rather be able to root and install CM or Decks again, but being that I can't, I am starting to grow fond of the stock rom. I just wish I could get rid of all the bloat!!
Same problem here when I got mine it was stock gingerbread with s-on so I'm looking on xda everyday for root hope it comes soon I miss my kingdom rom

@ MaxCarnage - Yea i guess you're right. I do miss being able to root the HTC EVO. Dont get me wrong I actually think that Gingerbread isn't that bad but just not being able to root it drives me insane!! according to the Trackin number it should be arriving at my house around 3:00 PST so fingers crossed till then =)

Not trying to rain on your hopes and wants, but I just received my replacement from Sprint and unfortunately for me it shipped with 2.3.3. I'm not going to pay damn near $600 for a 3D, so Im trying to get use to the fact that I can't root mines right now neither.
It is what it is! I figure a non rooted updated phone is better than not having one. Nonetheless, good luck on that..
Uuuuuuuugh!! Noooooo!! It came with GB 2.3.3 =/
CLJohnson i hear you buddy... It is what it is and will be until root comes to us. But yea im really not feelin to spend 600 on no 3D either
