Is the EVO getting Gingerbread?

[lkillen]

Not sure. The EVO was to be a "corner turning" release, much as the iPhone. It was to redefine Sprint in the marketplace, and has to some degree. If I was on the board of directors, I would ask what else was in the pipeline and if their was nothing impressive, I would them them to release Gingerbread.

Sprint has done a terrible job of marking Evo. Is there is jingle that you can remember? "I got an app for that..." There is a market trade-off for promotion to penetration but I think they need to promote more. Their stock is creeping back up and making the day-traders a few $s, but otherwise it is in the crapper. I got out at $5 and today it trade at $4.40.
Sprint is more or less a holding company for a telcom and do not see the world through Apple eyes.

Sad!

Also gotta remember, that there is an EVO size device with a keyboard coming to Verizon from HTC. This will prob only be an exclusive for 30 - 90 days. Also Snapdragon has 1.5 dual core CPUs completed.

Sprint will want to make an EVO 2 and EVO 2 Pro soon.

Gingerbread will happen. Its realy a matter of if its released on time. Its probably being designed and worked on for the Nexus and the Nexus will probably be the first to recieve it and then the other phones will follow in a similar order to 2.2.

I mean what are the requirments for Gingerbread I doubt there anymore then the 2.2 requirments.

Has anyone else noticed how HTC and Samsung seem to have production limits with Sprint?
All the Sprint Android phones with a physical keyboard are made by Samsung (Moment, that other thing, and Epic) and all the touch screen Android phones on Sprint are made by HTC (Hero and Evo).

Interesting point... maybe after their experience with the TP1 (and having to upgrade all those ppl to TP2), Sprint didn't want any more HTC keyboard devices? LOL Those were, of course, WM devices, and I don't know what WP7 phones Sprint has coming down the pike but it is interesting that all the recent keyboard phones to come to Sprint have been Samsung...

Can you even name 1 HTC android phone with a keyboard for any carrier? ever since iphone came out, HTC has been focusing on touchscreen phones rather then keyboard phones...only reason they probably released TP2 is just to continue the TP brand...otherwise touchscreen had Diamond, HD, HD2..where is our TP HD?

Only recently is there gonna be a HTC android phone with a keyboard for Verizon.. unfortunately its a 4 row keyboard ..my guess is influence of the Motorola Droid...

The Evo has no problems selling, my friend is trying to ditch his iPhone but has been on the waiting list for about a month now. It's a hot phone I keep running into in the wild now.

Why would sprint release a keyboard phone from htc...that would compete directly with the epic.

I has Tapatalk on my EVO 4G
