Official EVO Rumors and Speculation thread

[burgertime]

I would say no at this point. The only thing they talked about in the article was a BB Curve. I think at this point the EVO is going to be the pride and joy of sprint. Dan wants to push the prepaid service as much as possible, but if you want this beauty then your going to have to stick with sprint and not one of its smaller prepaid companies.

**EDITED**
Sorry I wasn't speaking to you per say. Just got the wrong quote. I was answering the OP's question.

If you can't activate it, I would just suggest buying an Evo then flashing it to Cricket which should be pretty simple. Of course this will mean either way you can't use 4g but still save on everything. Cricket even takes stolen and bad ESN phones.

.....This thread is only place to hear it periode..Nobody in the world has this information.....

BSOD >-_O<

I suspect that won''t be true for long. You can bet your words will hit the tech blogs within a few hours at the most. It's great that you're breaking it here first. THANKS!

Thats exactly what I did, scarped by with a 4 on the first, 3 on the second, and was damn glad to get it... But anyways, back to the Evo...

Are we under the assumption now then, that 2.2 is a revision to Eclair and 2.5 will really be FroYo?

one question that came up. aftering seeing all the pics, is there a lanyard hole? a hole for you to put a nice strap?

If I recall, too bad she's vacationing in Banlandia for the week, RiverOfIce mentioned that 2.1 was a revision of 2.0 and they were both known as Eclair.

and 2.2 is called? froyo

 

[kritzell]

I figured if I got the phone later, it would not be part of the original stock that was shipped in early June. Either way, all OS updates are free, correct?

Yes. I have webos on my pre..and the updates are free and over the air. I am getting really really excited to get my evo.

Who? polkadots?
I just checked on that... she can come back in 7 hours.

jackson had said the evo would be running a modified 2.1. also there was mention a couple days ago that froyo was actually 2.5 which threw me off because i suspected like most, that froyo would be 2.2.

if you put what jackson and bsod say together it makes sense that froyo = 2.5 and that evo will run a modified version of 2.1 (aka 2.2).

i really dont know about all this pop tie in talk though.

No one knows. As I was told. Google only focuses on the numbers. Not the name. The name is added when it is done.

2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 can all be elcare.

The current road map as I was told.

2.0, 2.1, maybe 2.2 are the same thing.

2.2 maybe 2.3 will be froyo

2.4 will be something gingersnap/bread or possibly graham cracker.

What I was told is that google is SLOWING down the releases. Majorly.

So 2.2 will either be elcare or froyo, but has not really been named yet. IT should be released this month.

Google does not look beyond current builds.

But what I hear is in 6-12 MONTHS 2.3 froyo or ginger/graham will release.

After that it will be on a 6-12 month cycle and increase 2.4, 2.5, 2.6

Could be up to 18 month builds, really doubt that.

After 2.2, whatever name that is. Google is done.They will then/have decide what the production schedule will be.

The other thing I am hearing, and this is just speculation. That after 2.2, you will get the ota upgrade from google, not the carrier.

Oh man, *grabs the table to hold on during the stampede.*

hehe

 

[drexappeal]

BTW, I dreamed about buying accessories last night! This thing needs to come out already!!!!

Crazy! Me too

 

[dylan88]

i still find it wierd that froyo wont be its own 3.0. seems like a major update with flash and everything

[HTC是ichiban]

this whole thing on codename has always got me confused. the more 2.x i see and the more the codenames, will confuse the whole world.

whatever the hell they run, i just want full flash and that's enough to shove the apple iphone up someone's ass

nah, wasn't going to pull off that stupid ipad thing...

 

[beandogg]

is the phone featured in the movie or something? i missed that part.

It will be a little weird and anachronistic when Jake the Prince of Persia, whips out the HTC EVO in ancient Persia to scare his enemies with 720p quality video recordings, but I'll definitely be rooting when he does.

 

[Fandroidboy]

I'm drinking Blue's kool-aid!!! Party it up man and good work. EVOlution is here

I meant River but I see she's still here.

 

[SprintFun]

LOL some game is using the Evo as its display. Either they're lucky S.O.B.s who have one or they're flat out lying

 

[nycbhh]

Okay, so a theoretical question for those of you who knows how Sprint&#8217;s policies work. I would be a new customer to Sprint. Let&#8217;s say that NYC does get 4G turned on in the next week or so and the EVO&#8217;s release date is announced to be no later than June 13. Would it be possible for me to get an Overdrive to test out 3G and 4g signals at my work and home, and then, before the 30 day guarantee is over, if I&#8217;m getting good signals, turn my Overdrive in for a refund, switch my account over to an everything data account and get an EVO at BB? (I want to get it at BB so I could get the instant rebate.)
