Im exactly in you guys kayak too. Epic witj stock 2.1 blows away any Htc phone with wm 5,6,6.1,6.5 by I gazzullion times. And out the box, it works 100%. No tweaking, no modding, no hacks, no painting battery covers, no chipping chrome, no dead pixels,no lausy high failure rate lcd screens, no blown speakers, no broken bt, no crippled 3d driver less components. It just works good and super hardware accelarated. With Htc phones, we had to beg for unlocking gps_one chip, beg for 3d drivers for the Imageon chip (in which we never got). With htc, you paid half a grand and got a half locked device that runs incredibly slow. Good bye htc scum sucking dagay madafakas! Go to hell!

The only reason I can see for wanting Froyo released for the Epic is that it establishes a date from which the source will need to be released. Once the source for Froyo is released it will jump start development of Epic ROMs including better baking in of Gingerbread components.

At least that's my understanding. Am I off base?

Nope, you hit the nail on the head. We have some great Froyo ROMs here, but once we get the source code the chefs can start cooking up some custom kernels which will really soup up the performance of the Epic.

Whereas a WinMo HD2 gets froyo, lol. What has the world come to? - [DFT]LEO "Stock" NAND Android ROM - xda-developers

Sorry, I guess I thought it was only possible through SD (like I did in my TP2 days).

And - Oh please - did you really think I meant froyo from HTC (by posting a link to xda)? lol

In fact my comment was more of an homage to chefs. The fact that non-paid chefs can get it working before the big whigs speaks volumes. Especially when the hardware was originally intended for a completely different platform.

Yes there are other politics at play here - the fact that American Galaxy S hardware apparently shouldnt have even gotten the Galaxy S moniker due to the carriers being a bunch of babies. Blah blah. I've heard the story before (nokia anyone?)

Coincidence that it happens to be an HTC phone? Probably

I talked to my leaker last night. I told him that people are upset seens Sprint being a hogging hore with froyo. So I asked him, if he has a new release date that he knows of. He said at the moment Sprint hasnt given another date. So anyways I asked him why in the world is Sprint doing to it. He said another sprint employee said it was because wiimax is not 100% functioning on froyo. How true is this? I have no clue, but this leaker did give me a dk28 info before xda released. After dk28 was said not to be released but skipped to final.

From what I have seen 4g is better on DK28..BUT for some reason Sprint Hotspot and Wimax can't be used at the same time...but is it really going to take that long to fix that?!?!? :/

How true is it that wimax is not 100% functioning on Froyo alone? I would say not true at all. The EVO has had Froyo for months and wiimax working just fine. Now wiimax not working with combination of Samsung hardware and Froyo, probably.. If that is the case Samsung and Sprint need to get with it and get it done.. They figured it out on the EVO in a matter of a month, surely they should be able to figure it out on the Epic in five months.
