Sprint says all new EVO's shipping with 2.2

---

I still have an "Open Ticket" for a replacement EVO, Sprint says I can exchange it at a corporate store and gave me the numbers for a few local stores. The Sprint tech also reported that the stores should be getting shipments next Monday, all will be updated to FroYo 2.2 from the factory.

I called 3 corporate stores hoping they would have an EVO with 2.1, but alas, none to be found regardless of software version.

that is no good, wonder if there is any way...

I should be getting my replacement sometime this week. (Hopefully) I'm praying I get lucky as well

im getting my replacement this evening. Will update this thread.

This affects my decision on getting an Epic. I wanted to eventually replace my EVO towards the end of its Sprint warranty (light leakage, etc) so I could get a newer one, but I don't want to be slapped with more security that may or may not be broken in the near future.

It would only make sense that the newer phones comes with their latest update. Why would they want to make the customer download a large file when they can pre-load it from the factory.

It's not the best choice for many of us who are waiting for a replacement handset that have enjoyed being rooted. I am one of them as well. I have faith in the developers that they will be able to give the OEM Froyo 2.2 handsets root access in the near future.

I might not like not having NAND root but in my Droid X just having the ability to install superuser is a nice feature. I can live with what that can provide for now.

Only time will tell.

relax, I hear unrevoked is close on root for the 2.2 OTA

Edit, I'm wrong. The release is for rooted devices.

DAMN IT!

Awesome... just picked mine up. No OTA.
