OTA hasn't even officially come out for the Nexus One. HTC has to port their sense on to it. Best guess is its going to be a few months.

I WISH froyo was coming to the evo in an official update, but that wont happen for months. We will need to rely on XDA to put together a rom for us to use on our rooted phones if we want it sooner.

As others have said, we will never get it before the Nexus does. And a few months? Count on six. At least. And when/if HTC ever gets it to us, it will almost definitely be OTW.

Sprint felt pretty stupid about how long the Hero took, and the Evo is their and HTC's flagship device. I bet we will see it sooner then we did on the Hero, but it will still be a while.

the phone is not even 4 days old and we already have threads about when is the next android OS update?

Can we make a subforum dedicated to just froyo 2.2 rumors, customer service whispers, sprint tech info, leaked documents, tweets, theories and every other worthless bit information and crying users about when its coming that crippled the Hero forums for months so it doesn't waste anyone's time when trying to talk about something that is relevant?

I don't think anyone here can give a concrete timeline as to when the Evo will get froyo. While I do miss a few things in froyo. I'd much rather see NAND unlocked first.

I agree somewhat. But to be fair, this is Sprint's flagship device. They should be doing everything they can to get 2.2 on it as quick as possible. The ball is in Sprint's court if they want to be known as a top carrier in terms of cutting edge. Yes we have the only 4G phone, but to be the 2nd carrier (under T-Mo of course) to have a 2.2 device would strengthen their standings and possibly allow them to acquire more customers that are downtrodden from At&t.

I Agree with you they need to work hard which I believe upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 is something doable within 2 weeks again that my guess , they can make their customers happy also iphone 4 is on its way .. give them some hard times
Honestly customers will come to Sprint only they work hard this is soo true currently Ball is in their court do not let it go .. get a news release up asap with 2.2 rolling out date . If I would be Sprint I would do the Press Release for 2.2 Fryo the same Day when Apple was announcing iphone 4.
