Probably. But the version that passed the FCC has no US 3G (AT&T or T-Mo) so odds are it will be European, though I don't know why it'd go thru the FCC if it's European. We all know Moto isn't stupid enough to release a version here without 3G

It has to pass through FCC so that it can operate in the US, for people traveling abroad and such, thus making it a "world phone".

I frankly like the way they're going with the commercial..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPYM-XTqcec

It was pretty head on advertising. Now the 'droid name is out there and more people will be asking about it. Should have been the direction T-Mo should have taken in advertising for the G1. I don't anyone is running out trying to get that new phone Whoopi Goldberg has.

I like the phone in theory... but since it's not an HTC, I don't think I could let myself get it. Is there a Motorola version of XDA?

here it is, perfect design and with keybaord

Funny... the only reason I ever considered HTC was that it shipped with 'droid.

I think Sprint is doing so bad financially that they will probably release this phone to attract new customers or lock the ones that are already with them. It won't surprise me if they try to make people getting this phone to get on the "Simply Everything Plan" for $99.00 like they did with the instinct.
ya right, i wish.....
im staying out of contract with 2 lines so that i can bargain with them when the touch pro comes out
Raphael was supposed to come to Sprint before the Diamond. It may be that the Diamond is coming to AT&T I suppose, but it seems doubtful to be coming to Sprint so soon.

not entirely true, since the CDMA Diamond and CDMA Raphael has already gone through FCC. Its up to Sprint now, who probably wont be making any fast decisions just yet, as there still dealing with a lot of **** lately. As a sprint customer I'm starting to feel worried about there future. >_> i just hope that the Korean merger well be a success. And not some cooperate flip-flop.
P.S- i could careless about the Diamond, i want that Raphael phone now!

Amen!!! I'm waiting for the touch pro myself.. I don't care too much for a phone without the keyboard, and about the internal 4gb I can care less too. I'll buy a bigger sd card if I have too and move my contents around. But we need that phone.. my mogul is good but a touch pro would be better.
I love these threads

What do you mean "not entirely true"? It is completely true: Raphael was supposed to come to Sprint before the Diamond. You're right, it is up to Sprint; but that has nothing to do with my post. Clearing the FCC doesn't mean the devices are both already ready for launch.

Good News for people in the USA....

I just wanted to let everyone know in the USA that Sprint is releasing the new HTC Evo which is basically an HTC HD2 with a few upgrades and runs Android instead of Windows Mobile. I personally have the Telstra HD2 running on AT&T and love it and I would have got the T-Mobile version except that the T-Mobile coverage is horrible where I live and in many other parts of the country it is extremely poor as well. The Telstra HD2 also doesnt support some 3G bands that AT&T uses, I was lucky enough to live in an area which it does.
I am only mentioning this because its another option for people here in the USA to get a device like the HD2 with a few upgrades and running Android if thats something you want. I am thinking about switching because I am a tech Junky. I swear I am never satisfied!!!
I think everyone is aware of this
I doubt everyone because I just found out a few days ago and I tend to keep myself fairly up to date on stuff like this.

Maybe you need better sources that don't display 2-3months old news. BTW, there's a big thread on the EVO 4G a couple pages back
Lol, I just came to this topic just to see if anyone would slam you, I was right.
It happens though it is reasonable enough to note that you are probably right, there are people that would still not know about it. Thank you for notifying us!
The second poster is right.
Everyone knows.
You lucky bastards.. i live in europe.. and we will never get the EVO4
I just love the fact that people come in here just to bash me... I expected people to bash me but its not like I care; I personally have better things to do than lurk around looking for people to pick on for no reason. I just wanted to point it out for anyone that didn't already know. I am sure there will be a few people who were happy to be informed about it.

Pretty much this. I have a sprint overdrive (3g/4g) from work and use it when im going off-site and being that I'm in SoCal (pretty big market), I'll be lucky if it even locks on to 4G. It's a good marketing tool, but to ask people to pay an extra $10/mo for 4G when the coverage is minuscule at best..is a bit outlandish. But hey, in a year or so, 4G has to compete with HSPA+ and LTE, so don't lose sleep over data speed if you're one of those people.

from looking around and the website url's I think Tmobile is based out of the UK, and this is a Tmobile release. I looked and couldn't find a .us forum for tmobile only .uk including all of the Samsung support also.
I guess the update is directly threw Samsung,
And tmobile vibrant owners can only recieve updates threw tmobile not samsung that's why it wont come over the air and we need to use Kies
Am i rite on this?
If so I wonder if we will have t-mobile bloatware included with update
Once again this is for T-Mobile UK release.
T-Mobile USA is a different company that have the same parent with T-Mobile UK, and many other T-Mobile EU companies - Deutsche Telekom http://www.telekom.com/dtag/cms/content/dt/en/6908
whats that have to do with a software update?
Even if its only "UK" the US version shouldn't be that far behind
Phones are pretty much the same
edit
never mind i didn't relies tmobile UK used the I9000 model
I think that since this is from the UK it is probably meant for the International i9000, not our US Galaxy S's.

All Galaxy S phones are pretty much the same, but not the same
US update will come when T-Mobile USA releases it, and I am pretty sure there will be a working 2.2 release from the devs here before T-Mo USA releases its bloated version.

fwiw, I posted on Tmobile Facebook page about 2.2 for the Vibrant and they sent me a message, you can check their facebook page to see where they said @Robert sent you a message.
this is the exciting info they sent..
Robert,
We understand your interest on updates Samsung is working on one and as soon as we have any more information on this we will communicate it.
I can assure you all I sent back a pretty nasty but professional message about their lack of speed with updates and while I understand not a single device from the Galaxy S line up has 2.2, I think the first provider that does roll 2.2 is going to be my new cell provider.
If others can get 2.2 on the Samsung Galaxy S before Tmobile, I am personally dropping my lines with Tmobile.

Honeycomb 3.2 Possibly Soon

Issue No. 16992 in the Android Open Source Project has to do with Exchange support on the Xoom after the Android 3.1 update -- namely how it's not working.
Comment No. 28 on the issue, apparently made by a Googler, seems to address this, saying:
"There should be a 3.2 update coming within days, and that should help those of you with the Xoom."

I thought I learnt my lesson with the Moto Atrix, but no, I had to go and get the MZ601 (EU) tab on Optus and its still sitting on 3.0 - probably never to see the light of 3.1 or 3.2...
Motorola really need to get their Fcuking asses into gear and demand carriers release FW on time and within a set period of the SDK being available.... Until they do this, they'll never be a top 3 manufacturer ever
From what I just read on the Moto forum, it seems the firmware approval process goes :
Carrier -> Moto -> Google
I honestly think it's Google holding up the approval process and moto is getting kicked in the teeth for it, same way they did with microSD.
I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

i can't imagine they will think twice about non us updates. If they ignored us for 3.1 then 3.2 will probably be the same. I dont really understand this but how can they ignor the rest of the world ??
The US is the larger market, also Motorola is a American company.
Just like Japanese companys release updates and products in Japan before anywhere else.
did you see the pie chart for android versions?
3.1 has 0.5% and 3.0 had 0.4% or something
'most' people have 3.1 now - so maybe they just imagine that most people have a US Xoom (or one of the other many models that have the 3.1 updates..)
Moto might think they are catering for a minority?
i thought it was interesting most 3.x were 3.1 though
You know that our wonderful developers will be making it possible for all of us to get the latest updates ASAP.

Its normal for manufatures to not release 1 version for all bands and stuff... 1 device will be for cdma and other for the rest, i wouldnt waste my time on a place called techno buffalo
This is my last hope of upgrade, if it has an IR Blaster... The S7s do not, and i'm kinda off by the LG G5.
I would love to return to HTC... Those was some of my first smartphones...HTC Titan, HTC Evo.
I really hope they don't shoot themselves... It seems like this would really hurt them if true.

This is what I'm hoping-- or at the very worst, the first round of M10s being GSM only, and then a subsequent CDMA release. Due to how cheap my Unlimited / All plan is, I really won't be leaving Sprint unless they go out of business :good:
I'm pretty positive that, even though Verizon is a pain in the butt to provide for, they are far too large of a player for HTC to ignore. Sprint isn't as much of a concern, but they still represent a significant number of possible sales.

No, what is bogus, is that these companies even release multiple versions in the first place. This whole fragmented hardware thing is a bit on the retarded end of the common sense spectrum. Lets hope that HTC has the common sense to just build one device that will just work on all networks. If Motorola can make the Pure X edition that works on all. Then surly HTC can as well. Again, fragmentation is crap. And is leads to far more tech wast. Also, it makes manufacturing far more expensive. I am goingbtobhave to say that if it is the case that Verizon and Sprint wanted to play the you need to pay us to allow your devices on our network games. Then HTC probably said screw them. I would not blame them either. I am on the Verizon network. And quite frankly, I would love to see them just fail hard and big. Not that they will. As they are protected by government. But, it would be cool to see it happen. They price gouge, take advantage of data rates and abuse manufacturers.

Again, fragmentation is crap. And is leads to far more tech wast.

This is what I'm hoping-- or at the very worst, the first round of M10s being GSM only, and then a subsequent CDMA release. Due to how cheap my Unlimited / All plan is, I really won't be leaving Sprint unless they go out of business :good:
I'm pretty positive that, even though Verizon is a pain in the butt to provide for, they are far too large of a player for HTC to ignore. Sprint isn't as much of a concern, but they still represent a significant number of possible sales.

Expect it on Verizon the moment it is available.
Verizon is carrying this device. I just spoke with my VZW Enterprise rep, and while he couldn't give a launch date (because HTC hasn't dropped that yet), the HTC 10 is showing in their upcoming devices matrix as the replacement for the M9. My rep has never led me astray about any devices that I've asked about. He said after HTC's announcement tomorrow you will see it available for preorder.

Im not sure what I am going to be disappointed about. As I expect this to happen. At least regarding HTC and some other well known manufacturers.
But, yes, it does happen. We have the Motorola X Pure. And it works on every carrier here in the US.

VZW is definitely gonna have the HTC 10.
We, known as S.Team, got a leaked VZW HTC 10 system dump

And it looks like HTC did indeed take that route. Nice.
