The I got 2.2 from T-mo Thread ...

I hear that googles deadline for giving out froyo is jan 31, since they want to start distributing gingerbread now and so if we don't receive froyo by end of month we are f***ed

I am guess that is why good old sammy is discontinuing the Galaxy S line (vibrant) lol.

Don't believe me?

How is it possible that there are 86 posts in the "I got 2.2 from T-mo thread"??

Because the thread was started when there were a lot of rumors that we would get the update "soon." I think that was around the time the original MyTouch got 2.2...

Who knows when the Slide will get 2.2? This thread should probably be renamed to "still waiting for 2.2..."

myTouch Slide Update Delayed By Two Issues

Mark my words t-mobile will continue to yank your chains on this update until June/July when the people that bought the phone on launch day will have their warranty expire and T-mobile will be quick to let you know that you can get $100 off any phone by signing a new 2 year contract.

That news sits well with me.. That I can understand.. If T-mobile would just have sent out and text to us saying this. .I would stop waiting for an update. The first problem I can do with out. Wifi calling.. But the 2nd problem I will wait for.

Even though we were sold this phone as early as June with the understanding that froyo (which HTC already had released on the Nexus One) would be on the device "soon after release"?

Just got off the phone with customer service over a billing issue and I was asked how I like my G2 I replied "I love it, it's a million times better than my Slide" the convo continued and I told him the reason I hated the Slide the most was its lack of support from T-mobile and he told me "that froyo was never promised and due to the complications with wifi calling and the partition issue that the Slide would most likely never see froyo".

I don't usually take their words for anything just thought I would throw it out there

That is what T-mobile is banking on.

I might be black balled on T-mobile's customer service (see the the other thread) but I got a free G2 and kept my slide and full upgrade (took the Nexus S back) for when the HSPA 42 phones come out later this year.

Complain. Complain. Complain.

So, if I wine about how crappy my phone is, they'll possible give me another phone besides the Slide?

Yay for HTC, but we Slide users are in the 50% of HTC phones not updated...
