Anyone know when the EVO will be upgraded to Gingerbread?

[splmonster]

I don't think anyone ever said that Honeycomb was exclusively for tablets, but Google did say that Honeycomb was optimized for tablets.

In Google's video is specifically says in the video "built entirely for tablet".

I'm sure there is a thread that Honeycomb can be discussed in, so stop highjacking this thread to flame each other about whether or not HC will come to cell phones or not.

A Sprint and HTC source that are a friends of mine have said, Feb to early March for Gingerbread. These are the same two sources that leaked the last update for the Evo that I had posted.

All this talk of Gingerbread has made me hungry. I think I'll go make some bagels.

Yepee, I await your presence Mr. Gingerbread man

That smiley face freaks me out!

That's right after the Sprint press release.

Anything about the new version of HTC Sense as well?

That part was not said to me. Still I don't see why the new Sense would not be included here. Would be a total head scratcher if it's not included. My hunch is that Sense 2.0 will be on there with Gingerbread. No reason for it not to be.

They could leave it out to sell more devices. I really hope its on there though. Then I wouldn't have any reason to run launcher pro.

Sprint most likely won't allow them not to put that part of it on there. Considering the Evo and Evo Shift are the flagship devices. So about selling devices wouldn't matter considering Sprint does not have other HTC devices.

I hope so, I would love to have the new sense. I think there are some minor things that could be changed. But I really want gingerbread now with sense.

So no new news on the thread topic? Aka Gingerbread? Am I to assume my device is already out to the Android pasture?

As I've stated, lack of news does not mean an update is not in the works.

As I recall, even with the Froyo update, no release date was ever announced prior to release (aside from the leak that was about three days earlier than the actual release). All we heard was that they were working on it, and it might take time, and then suddenly, BOOM--here's the update.

In Google's video is specifically says in the video "built entirely for tablet".

Which has no bearing on "exclusivity." They also said Froyo was not built for tablets. Didn't stop manufacturers from using it on tablets.

 

[splmonster]

No they didn't. They say said HC was going to be optimized for tablets. Pretty much all other versions are not designed for Tabs, but will work. And HC will be able to take advantage of what Tabs can do.

It's in Google's video.. Yes "Honeycomb" was built and intended for tablets. Watch the official Google video. It says it in that video. Not to mention many Google people have said the exact same thing.

Did they give a date in February or March when Gingerbread would be available?

Did anyone at Sprint confirm the February and or March timeline for Gingerbread and do you think that Sense 2.0 will be with it? In my growing experience with Android, sense is a essential part of my Android experience.

There's always ROMS like cyanogenmod 7 which runs gingerbread. But for un rooted phones I'm not sure

I haven't heard anything for sure, but I'm getting pretty excited. I think if I say gingerbread around my wife one more time she might divorce me. I really hope the new sense is a part of it. I've tried all of the most popular launchers and still like sense the best. The only thing is the big grey lock bar.

 

[splmonster]

When I get more info, trust me it will be on here.

I hope so, I feel like a 5 year kid waiting for Christmas.

Having the new sense and gingerbread would make this phone brand new again.
