If you're talking about when Sprint/HTC are planning on upgrading the phone to Gingerbread officially I've heard rumors of August 2011. Of course, that's simply a rumor.

LOL Joy. OK was the rumor going to keep HTC SENSE?

Yea HTC has recently invested more in sense on other Android devices so its a safe bet to assume sense will be on it.

Swyped from my Evo on steroids.

Who knows for EVO users but 2.3 is dead. Mostly because it does not run Honeycomb apps. The new version is 2.4 which will run the same apps as 3.0. Sounds like it will be customized for dual core devices.

Unless something gets ported it looks like 2.2 might be last official update for EVO.

what you think Sprint will do? Just say eh, and move up or will be another updated to fix the battery issue.

My guess is with all the new devices coming this year the EVO will not receive anything beyond 2.2. Maybe some tweaks here and there. Concentration will be on newer, dual-core devices that can run apps like the tablets can.

On the flip side of that.....the new Kyocera Echo has about the same specs as the EVO so if it gets updated no reason why the EVO wouldn't. But, who knows. Personally, I don't see the Echo having a very long shelf life.
