I certainly won't wait for HTC or Sprint. Rooting and ROMing is the only way to get what you want when you want it! If anything, a long delay by the manufacturers to roll out JB will likely push me to Google's new Nexus line of products as my next purchase. I'm sick of waiting for all these manufacturers to overlay their UI on top of a perfectly functional UI, while customers have to wait around for 6-12 months to get an update! At some point manufacturers need to understand that people want a vanilla Android UI. They can/should provide their UI as a launcher and people can optionally use it if they want to.

While the skinning for sense is a factor for phones like the Evo 3D which has yet to officially jump to 4.0 on Sprint, it won't be a issue for the 4.0 to 4.1 jump as the UI hasn't changed, they're just adding features to what's already there.

Wasn't there mention during the keynote yesterday that the idea was to get the updated code to manufacturers sooner, so they could roll out updates to consumers quicker? I'm certain that it will still take a reasonable amount of time to get the update put together with Sense factored in, though. If I had to guess, I'd say Octoberish.

If you compare the updates that the OG EVO received: android 2.2 was released in May, the evo was released with 2.1 in June and received 2.2 about 2 months later. If HTC is as proactive about releasing 4.1 for the LTEVO, I would guess this September.

Of course there was also 2.3 which was released in December and the OG EVO received that in June. If HTC lets it stew as long as this, we'll probably see 4.1 in December.

Here is hoping for the quicker.

The original Evo launched with 2.1, and I can't remember when exactly it got 2.2 but at the very least it has been rolled out by October of that year when I first got mine. .

It was in August, shorty after it came out.

After Europe. That's pretty much all we know lol. Since all these phones are pretty similar, it shouldnt take much longer than September to October.

But who really cares when HTC updates come out? It's all about the DEVS!

I got my froyo update on my OG EVO in mid August after it was released, and so I am guessing mid August 2012 if not earlier.

I'm going to say soon. I say that because the new voice for navigation is the same voice for the new Google search, which is in 4.1.

I wouldn't think it would be THAT long just to add minimal features. Would really be suprised if it took longer than September. Hopefully HTC is better than Samsung cause my old GSII is still waiting for ICS.
