Evo 4G update to Froyo OFFICIAL August 3rd (OLD)

Ive been waiting for the first person to bull **** and say they have it. I guess hes the one.
 
I work with a guy who lies all the time and calls it BSing. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
 
I thought I had read last night that Sprint was only releasing it to a "Select group" of people today as a beta before the main release on Tuesday....

Maybe I misread it.....
 
Of corse I had to lie... With people checking this thread like crackheads.... It wont be here till 8/1 for manual download...

Their press release said that if you cannot wait (everyone on this board), then you will be able to manually initiate the update. Didn't give a date though.
 
BLAH this is so annoying. I've been on the phone with three tech support reps now that all said it should be available now. :\ But then this? Wth man...
 
Looks like Tuesday is the day Sprint says you can start manually applying the update..

Confirmed: Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G

We'll begin with the big one: Sprint has confirmed its EVO 4G users will start seeing Froyo this Tuesday, August 3. The upgrade will be sent out to a subset of phones each day, with the process wrapping up by the middle of the month.

Don't want to wait? No problem: Starting Tuesday, Sprint says any EVO user can download the upgrade manually by going to the "HTC Software Update" section of the phone's "System Updates" menu.

Holy Froyo! Lots of new Android 2.2 info - Computerworld Blogs
 
Take a look a couple posts down. A Sprint employee says from what he has understood. The manual download would be available on 8/1

Announcements: Sprint is the first wireless carrier to bring Android 2.2 to customers using the award-winning HTC EVO?„? 4G beginning Tuesday, Aug. 3

So they're pushing the button on a Sunday? That's seems even less believable than a Friday release.

This sounds believable.
 
this is just a big joke by Sprint. they just trying to see how many people will hit the check updates button and how many times over the next few days hahahaha

I prob did atleast 60 times already. when the update check started clocking longer I got excited. . . then nothing :(
 
If you look down after the announcement on Sprints website a Sprint Employee posted..

@Levi4u, are you referring to Sean Leary's post? If so, I believe that information is incorrect (I'm a different Sean btw). The latest info I have is that the client-initiated/manual downloads will be available this weekend (8/1).
