Possibly Getting 2.2 Soon

[Gimpeh]

I don't want to get peoples hopes up buuuuuuutttt-

Mytouch 3G to get 2.2 from next week and onwards.

Keep in mind that the Slide is a HTC sense device. If they have sense prepped and nearly ready for the Slide imagine where our update stands.

Keep in mind that 2.2 is a incremental update and not nearly such a huge leap as going from 1.5 1.6 to 2.1.

I'd agree. But the mytouch slide isn't a sense device...its got a custom t mobile UI. So no beans. It'll get here when it does. No worries.

From what I read on specs it does indeed include the sense ui. Otherwise I would not have bothered creating a thread.

Edit: I stand corrected. Darn. Other specs I looked up online listed the Sense UI. Looks like thats no longer the case.

The myTouch 3G Slide doesn't use HTC's Sense UI, but it doesn't really use stock Android, either. HTC and T-Mobile have made some subtle changes that make the Slide at least different from other Android handsets, if not more usable.

I'm pretty sure it's a t-mobile influenced version of sense

Still, this its verizon we are talking about. They are notoriously slow at updating their phones

HTC Desire is rumored to get a 2.2 update at the end of June

Would love to see 2.2 on my INC but I'm not holding my breath on root

Didn't they(VZW) update the droid eris pretty quickly especially compared to sprint and the hero or maybe I'm bugging

Correct, at its heart its Sense UI. All the Sense features work, T-Mo just got a hold of it and made it ugly, I mean I HATE that box crap around all the icons, it looks retarded

I would assume that T-Mobile just modified sense, and in order for them to produce an update they would need sense 2.2 from HTC. As such, I think it would be safe to also assume that HTC is preparing 2.2 for their other devices as well.

I just remember it taking ages for vzw to release the 2.1 update for the moto droid... And that is bone stock
