Froyo 2.2 Coming Soon as per Sprint!

Sprint expects to launch Android 2.2 in near future.

As work on finalizing the software is under way, Sprint expects to launch Android 2.2 in the near future. It also will be available as an upgrade on the recently launched HTC EVO 4G.

With the Android 2.2 upgrade, customers can expect improvements to include the following benefits: updates to user interface, improved EAS Support, improved browser performance, including Flash 10x Support, voice dialing over Bluetooth and application storage on external memory.

Very nice.

 

[MadHatter01]

Yup finalizing hopefully means that its done and just tweaks left. I would expect to get it some time in July.

Awesome! I wonder who will release it first though, Sprint or the devs at XDA

I expected something like this as Fridays the return deadline for the first wave of Evo buyers.
Smart would be to actually HAVE Froyo out a few days before that date...like maybe in Monday expected OTA?!....as the effects are significant with Froyo.

I hope you are right, but i kinda doubt it due to Froyo's final build just being released.

HTC works fast . A Google developer said that it would take even less time to implement Sense into Froyo 2.2 since it was mainly native code that implemented into froyo. Or something like that.

As much of a naysayer as I'm going to come off as, experience (while limited) makes me think closer to end of August or early September. There's no ETA ("soon" is prety vague) and I remember how long it took to get an OS update for the Hero. That coupled with the fact that HTC hasn't released the source code to the current version (much less the new version being promised) makes me think "Soon" will be a few months (which *would* be fast for them )

 

[muncheroo]

yea if we set our expectations super low we can't be disappointed am i right ?

Exactly
Better to be surprised by the unknown...then to be let down by what you were waiting for.

At least we won't have to wait on Sprint to fumble with a Hero and Moment version, as per their Twitter:

HTC EVO will be updated to Android 2.2; Samsung Moment & HTC Hero will not. Future devices launching w/ 2.1 will be also be updated to 2.2.

I wonder what Sense is going to look like on Froyo. And how fast it will be.

I'm assuming Rosie will look exactly the same.

 

[jblazea50]

i'm sure we'll see Cyanogen's Froyo on EVO before Sprint releases the Sense Froyo

They probably mean Froyo is being finalized, not their version of it.

I'm even more of a pessimist. I'd guess we're not going to see it until October at least. But I wish upon a star that I'm wrong!

I think froyo is finalized at this point. I really doubt that they meant it like that. I'm going to bet Sprint wants to beat Moto X to the punch. So it will be out some time in July.

I doubt it.
