Evo being "Jelly" of S3 getting Jelly

[gpdaddy95]

Apparently, S3 is getting their Jelly Bean update starting 25th of OCT.... Which is tomorrow. :'''(
I hope we get ours very soon.

My wife has the S3 and got the update...not impressed. My Nexus 7 4.1.2 is much better. Hopefully HTC will do it right for the EVO, but I'm not holding my breath. Given the popularity of the phone compared to the ONE series and the GIII, I don't think Sprint and HTC want to pay someone to sit down and write the code. Besides, they already got paid for the EVO, why spend more to make us happy when they have no guarantees that we'll buy from them in 18 months? It just sucks.....

I've never completely understood all the rage about phones not getting updates "fast enough." Yes, the SIII just got Jelly Bean and we don't have it yet. The two phones are made by two different companies that work on different schedules, and have all different everything. While I certainly expect that we will get the update in the near future, I'm not "giving up on HTC" because it isn't here yet. The International One X just got it, which means the One X on AT&T is next in line, and finally we are. That's just the way the pecking order goes. And as several people have already mentioned, once the first update started rolling out, it wasn't too long before the subsequent ones came in the past.

So yea, I'm excited for Jelly Bean. I'm anxious to try out all the new features. And when the update gets here, I can. The EVO LTE rocks whether it has ICS or Jelly Bean.

Patience people! They can put all the gelly they want on the s3 and that pentile screen is still going to look godawful!

Because if they screw us, then none of us will buy HTC again. Short-term financial gains would be destroyed by long-term customer dissatisfaction. For most of the high-end HTC phones, HTC has had a good update/upgrade track record.

if that was truly the case, in big business, then cable companies, phone companies, etc would be providing better rewards for customer loyalty. which, everyone knows, they provide incredible incentives to get you in the door, then gradually screw the old customers more and more until they're someone else's new customers.
