Uh, most people are locked into 2 year contracts almost all the time. Doesn't stop some from buying new phones.

As for the Evo, there's no reason to rush the 2.2 out. It's in HTC and Sprint's interest to hold out as long as possible. It's not about dev effort and priority despite what they say: It's purely a business decision. As long as Evo is selling well (it has and it will for a while), they are not going to release 2.2.

My money is 2.2 upgrade won't be deployed for Evo at all in spite of what Hesse and Lin said. They will spin it later and back paddle.

Enthusiasts will yell bloody murder for 2 minutes then install non-official 2.2 ROM or move on to another 2.2/3.0 device. Average Joe Evo owner will live ignorantly happy with 2.1 until their contract ends.

Sprint/HTC isn't unaware of this.
UH ya most people on this site get new devices before the 2 years. I get a new device every year because of being a Premier Customer I am not the majority of sprint users. Also Sprint does or should want to get 2.2 out because other phones are going to have it and don't want people buying say a Galaxy because it has 2.2.
