Sprint Announces Android 2.2 Upgrade for HTC EVO 4G - Page 4

**mlin** · #31 (**permalink**) 06-25-2010, 02:50 PM

Sprint is obviously getting behind the EVO more so than I think any other phone in the past. The EVO is currently the best Android phone (or phone period) on the market. HTC and Sprint will have good reason to get this update pushed immediately so that it holds up against the Droid X by Motorolla as well as other high caliber phones on the market including iPhone 4. There have already been videos of the EVO beating the iPhone in various speed test, imagine the difference when running 2.2. The best phone on the market deserves an immediate update, the folks at Sprint know this.

They did a lot more PR on the Pre, as I recall

Yeah, but the EVO has sold more and has a greater potential for competition. The Pre was kind of a flop.

Sprint needs to advertise this Evo... I'm seeing a lot of internet ads but no television ads showing off the features...

Let's see some ads advertising video chats, UI speed, the video camera, gaming and the massive screen. Why can't we work for Sprint marketing dept? They are talking about the Droid X more than the Evo...

Sprint cannot afford to let the Evo just fade into the background... Come on Hesse... Let's get your people on it!!!...

I've seen TV commercials non-stop for the EVo for the past few weeks touting all of those features on major network channels...

Well hopefully they won't show the UI in a commercial cause then people would see all the scrolling lag!

Saw my first EVO commercial last night on tv although I must admit I don't watch too much tv. I love the jit speeds on the 2.2 ROMs out now but I really need my camera

I don't have any scrolling lag. I mean, when I first enter the apps page, it skips (for a split second) then all is good for the rest of the duration. Scrolling in messages, market, etc., there's no lag or skipping whatsoever.

I say the 2.2 update will be out within the next few months. You have to realize they just finished the final version (but google's always in beta mode

) and sprint has to add all their crapware and test it before it can be released.

they will need to make twice as many then, cause they are pretty much gone as soon as we get them....

also, the iphone was a hit to the market who did not know what they were not getting. as they realized that they could not even send picture mail, shoot a video, or cut and paste text, they had to turn to one man, steve jobs, to save their $600 paperweight. seems sort of twisted, but isn't this what happend to hostages? they are captured, then suffer, only to have small bits of hope thrown at them in order to gain thier allegience?
