Ok so we have an estimated time frame on when HTC should be done with Froyo to have it released to the carriers.
Android 2.2 Froyo Update: HTC Release Date Plans in 2010 : Product Reviews Net
This thread is a little different though.
There are several broad time frames out there in various articles. The consensus on what HTC said seems to be that they will be done in the second half of 2010 no earlier than July 1st.
Here is my guess and let's all hope I am way off base.
If HTC decides to use the same exact version of Sense they could be done by July 1st.
I doubt they will do that because HTC loves being innovative with their software. With an update as big as Froyo should be I think there will be some big changes/additions to Sense UI. So with that said let's say HTC finishes in August.
Now it is Sprint's turn. I think they will drag their feet just like any other device update.
First I believe they are going to really want to get rid of the biggest Froyo addition that they will likely see as a disadvantage, Free WIFI Tethering. On top of that I don't believe there will be many people complaining about an OS update. I think we make up a small percentage of the people that will actually buy the EVO. And half of us will just flash custom roms, so I doubt they will feel they need to rush to get an update out for us to use.
That being said I truly think the Froyo update will not be out Until late September at the earliest.
Agree? Disagree?
Why? Why not?
Post anything related to the update in this thread. Hopefully this will stop the forum from being flooded with dozens of update theads.
Also let's please keep this friendly and on topic. Thanks. Discuss.
