If you want to know if the OTA has been released for Gingerbread, Sprint has in the past posted it here the day before it starts. So keep checking.

No problem. It takes quite a bit of navigating to find it on Sprint's site....like they hide it on purpose.

Get the Nook Color if you want a cheap tablet that you will root and mod. It doesn't have a camera or gps and can be had for as low as $150. XDA has great support for it as well.
Also, look at the viewsonic viewbook 730. It is similar in specs to the nook, except it has a camera. Not much support in XDA from what I can tell, but I have seen some for less than $200.

Well if those are my only options then I would choose the xoom but I'm biased. I own one. I think the Asus might be a good buy but seems doomed to fail with low stock. If you can possibly wait 2 months then you'll have more honeycomb tablet options. Google is rumoured to have a nexus tablet in the works, possibly from Toshiba and could be THE tablet!! But in the meantime, I'm absolutely loving my xoom.

There is speculation over that.
I liken the Xoom to Android Dev Phone 1, or the G1, same phone really.
In other words, we're the first - but not THE device of Google. Right now, it's the "Apple of Google's Eye" D) - for now.

The taste of Miui I just got on this phone may have won me back over. I think that anything is possible if someone has the will to do it. I flashed a bunch of builds that hung at the Sammy screen and seemingly overnight things started happening fast. With my luck, Gingerbread would get released the day after I didn't have this phone anymore. I think I was just going through withdrawls from not flashing for a couple of days. Also, after seeing what the ET4G forum is like, I am happy to be a part of this one...I'm not going anywhere any time soon...and thanks
Sent from my OG Epic running Miui
Yep, as much as I wanted the ET4G, I'm glad I didn't go to the sperm bank now
Its just to many things better coming down the pipe, and the Epic is still Epic by all accounts, and it has a keyboard, so, I'm happy. And this place is much better then that place lol.
I ain't going to lie I like the epic 4g forum guys here help when you need it & all the funny post people put up that made me laugh my balls off lol it only took me 1 day to root & flash I like my nexus its sexy! But the epic to me has better video & picture quality & more memory there's give & take with both phones I got a brand new nexus for free at best buy & payed 30$ for some buy back program in 6 months I can bring it back & they will give me 50% of what it cost retail 350$!!! & then I could use that towards the nexus prime the E4GT or whatever ever phone I like

Double check the forums. Verizon had Samsung lock the bootloader for our version. They have an exploit root. But, as far as I know, they haven't come up with a way to unlock. They have about a dozen devs working on it, so maybe. But it was enough to put me on to the nexus, instead

Well I placed my order for the GSIII today. I will keep my Continuum as a wifi device and hang around. I know I said I would not buy another Samsung, but as others have said the Continuum is a fringe device. I know that's not an excuse for the terrible support, but I will only buy flagship devices from now on.

Nope.
This thread made by the OP is staged.
#1. It's a new account. Trolling is expected.
#2. The story given is too sketchy, why would a Sprint Tech *magically* announce that the Epic 4G is getting ICS when they were going to buy a Galaxy S III?
#3. If the OP is being truthful (let's give him the reason of the doubt) Then the Sprint Tech who said it is retarded and trolling.
Edit: On a Happier Note, I had a dream last night that the Epic 4G was the first to get Key Lime Pie running on it. LOL
