So, I went into Radio Shack today ...

really just to check out the HD2 and the relative size. While I'm looking it over, the manager walks up and says, "If you like the HD2, check this out." He hands me a brand new Evo that he picked up from one of the attendees to the Google conference this past week. We put it through the paces for the next 30 minutes, and all I can say is, "wow". It's a tad bit larger than the Incredible, but not bad at all. I was able to comfortably type one-handed, with average sized hands. During our conversation he mentioned that the rumor is that "Froyo" could be a surprise for the Evo, timed to co-incide with the June 4th release.

2.2 WILL NOT be on the EVO 4G at launch. That is an absolutely guarantee. We only just got confirmation that the EVO 4G would even get it.

'Most' HTC Android phones to receive 2.2 update

HTC has noted today that "most" of its recent and upcoming Android devices will be getting the 2.2 update (Froyo), during the Q3 this year.

These phones include the Desire, Droid Incredible, MyTouch 3G Slide and the EVO 4G along with other upcoming models.

Availability of the firmware update for older devices (like those released before 2010) was not noted, but seems unlikely, given that many still run on 1.5 or 1.6.

Says HTC: "We are working closely with Google and our other partners to ensure we have the earliest access to everything we need to provide a complete and solid Sense experience on Froyo."

While 2.2 was unveiled earlier this week to rave reviews, Google notes it is not completely finished yet. Device makers should have it within a month, however. (That is of course, unless you have a Nexus One, which has been given an OTA update for 2.2 already).

Froyo adds tethering, portable hotspot tech, built-in Flash 10.1, Microsoft Exchange enterprise capabilities, and a 400 percent performance boost.

He didn't say that it would be on the phone, but that it might come as an OTA update. You need to give your guarantees a rest ...

The store manager had bought the phone from one of the attendees at the Google conference last week. Said that he got lucky ... the guy he bought it from was from overseas and had no use for a cdma phone ... so he sold it to the first guy with cash ... $400.
