Bets on getting froyo by the end of the year

[tnerb123]

So I am betting we do not get froyo before the end of the year. What I mean is the official release will not be this year. My question is, why is it that most of the other phones that can handle froyo already have had it for months, but Samsung is so behind and can't get it out the door?

Since nothing constructive can come out of this thread, I'll direct you toward a thread on another forum with the same topic being covered:

Hmm.. I'm going to still say before Christmas.

As it is now Samsung Epic has the official Froyo build from Samsung. So... one can only hope.

This thread is a waste:

1. Samsung still says by the End of Year we will have Froyo. They never said we would have it earlier - only the international i9000 was specified as November

2. Epic got a leaked release - it is not official Froyo. It may turn out to be, but there is not official annoucnement from Sprint or Samsung that Froyo has been released for the Epic.

People need to get facts straight. They may not be what anyone wants to hear, but they are the facts.

I thought the same Epic release was hosted on Google's servers so... doesn't that make it official?

Google hosts all kinds of stuff. It could be any one of the Beta builds pushed out to testers OTA.

If it were official, don't you think Samsung and Sprint would be shouting about it?

One web site had this post:

"I don't think this is the real deal.t The only phones that got the OTA were one with a hardware version endind with .4 ,these are test phones. Every production Epic is a .5 phone. You can check your version by looking at (about phone) in the settings menu."

Although it is 2.2.1 - most sites are saying now it is most likely a leaked Dev build.

My 2c is that ATT couldn't really care less if they push out 2.2..so I doubt the Captivate will ever have an official upgrade to froyo..just too expensive in terms of R&D..remember, we're dealing with Ma Bell here-just under a different dress

HTC recently released a ROM update on their site for the AT$T Tilt 2. Info about it was nowhere to be found on the AT$T site. This is a phone that is no longer in production and near the end of its life cycle, but AT$T thought enough of it to release not only an updated ROM with fixes, but with the nicer Sense 2.5 UI instead of the original TF3D 2.1. I think a Froyo update from AT$T for our phones will eventually come.
