http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/03/...ndroid-2-1-update-for-hero-and-moment-over-t/
If you recall, about a month ago Sprint tweeted that it was working on delivering Android 2.1 upgrade for its HTC Hero and Samsung Moment in early Q2 this year. An optimistic guess would be April, right? Funnily enough, Techie Buzz has heard that two eager customers managed to squeeze a more precise date out of Sprint over a phone call -- end of March or even March 26th. Don't go reaching for that champagne just yet, though -- a self-proclaimed Sprint employee shared a recent internal memo on XDA-Developers forum, revealing that it's "actively working on having the Android 2.1 platform available to our Hero and Moment customers over the coming weeks," and that "more information coming in April." Oh Sprint, you do love playing with our little minds, don't you?

@ tyrnight
just because it's posted on Engadget today does not mean its recent news.
On average, Engadget can be 12 hours late from the source when it comes to news originating from ppcgeeks, sprintusers, xda, howardforums, etc. I'm not surprised some stuff leaks through their newswatchers from time to time.
We appreciate you posting this up for the people that havent seen it, but dont expect a standing ovation...
my form of *sarcasm..... lol
Never trust sprint, as never trust car dealer.
**** Sprint.
As soon as Nexus One is released for Verizon, I'm off.
And the difference between VZN and Sprint is? (Other than customer service)

Samsung Epic 4G (SPH-d700) EP.1
Whoo hoo! I've been eagerly awaiting this! I continue to save my pennies for this phone...
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
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.

That won't be happening, with 100% certainty.
Now I can't wait to hold this bad boy to see how it feels. However, I'd have to see some Cyanogen love before I jumped ship.

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.

@herbthehammer - its not crazy, this phone is a lot better then the EVO..and only reason why it feels like that is because it is compact making it VERY light...

There is already a ClockworkMod recovery for the Galaxy S:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734166
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
http://twitter.com/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).
I know that this dead horse has been beaten enough already. But I thought Hong Kong Sony Ericsson X10 users may be interested to hear that the Android 2.1 update is scheduled to be released in September, along with a second a marketing campaign push for the handset.
Before you ask me about the source, I'll tell you now that I cannot share it.
man when is september is coming, its going to be an interesting month
thanks for the heads up
To quote the great poet Billy Joe

Wake me up when September ends!'

That's three separate sources. Come on guy. You can't just make up facts then say "UH, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHERE I GOT THE NEWS FROM" when you clearly just lifted it off one of those sites.
I am beging you guys that you dont write those 2.1 topics, it makes me sick ! Dont mention 2.1 until it is out, PLEASE !

As far as I know, they have said that the release will be Q3 and onwards. There was no official mention of September, only an assumption made by us. Please correct me if I am wrong.
No, I cannot give you a source because the information is not available in the public domain. This information was passed in confidence between Sony Ericsson and a mobile operator.
I thought it'd be nice for me to share this information with you guys but if it's causing so much distress, I have no problem keeping it to myself. Frankly, it's not worth risking my job by posting a confidential e-mail here.
You are welcome to ignore what I post (and you should take everything on internet with a pinch of salt), but the last time I did something like this, it was pretty damn accurate - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725008.
Have a nice day.
Hey.. I, for one, would like to say thanks. The more we hear about this being september the more confidence it gives me that they will hit their target. Thanks.

I work with a Pony and can confirm 3 came out
Q1 -> January, February, March
Q2 -> April, May, June
Q3 -> July, August, September
Q4 -> October, November, December
So, if it will be out int Q3, it will be released in September, everybody knows that...
Oh btw August is nearly over so there is no other possibility than september...

He's telling the truth, 2.1 is also on my new x10i from Orange.
I can tell you all that MT is not working on the new version 2.1 from SE. Hard lucks people, guess we have to wait for bootloader crack which IMO will never happen for x10 devices.

And for those who still hoping for MT on SE devices, let me give a no hope. SE latest device X8 which may already or about to be release DONT HAVE MT lol lol, do your little brains think this is because it's not H/W supported lol lol lol with today tech lol lol lol. SE will never enable this function (bells ring yet...something to do with Apple).
Want a better device with the latest Android OS (or fully upgradeable) with awesome manufacturer support then go with HTC. what, no money! go and get a job.
ROFL lol.
Any offer.
