Froyo in Oz- coming soon!

Chatted online with an optus business rep today to ask how much the new samsung tablet will be (about the same as a Galaxy, expect a $49 plan for it), also asked if & when froyo for the galaxy is coming on optus. He said OTA update will be in first week in september!
Sorry if this is old news. I can post a copy of the conversation if anyone wants it, I printscreened it but forgot to paste & lost it..
Anyway, good news!

I think this might be slightly outdated. Initial rumors pointed that Galaxy S would be getting Froyo in Korea before the end of August with it rolling out internationally in September. The rumor was so strong that the news media weere saying that the local carrier was aiming to give unlimited data and encourage tethering after an August Froyo release.
There are only 3 business days remaining in Korea, so that rumor seems to be coming and going without being fulfilled. Also, the rumor mill here hasn't been hot, which I expected it would be by now if we were indeed getting this in August.

My post referred only to Optus users in Australia.

Hope this is true, I can't wait for an official release of Froyo.

Thanks for the heads up

Froyo

Ok, this post was really stupid. We will get froyo when we get it and I was being stoopid when I posted this and was just joking around. If you really want to, you can call samsung, but I doubt that would effect anything.

How about tommarrow around twelveish

They are already making Galaxy S2 devices they don't care about us anymore. Its sad but I don't know if they care about customer retention.

There live chat is down now, Ive think the nerds have been bomb rushing them. Ive even suggest give us a source code and we will have something better than your carriers can ever give. All of a sudden too much traffic and call our customer service number. Im in a mood to be a butt hole tommorow since i got to work. Im all in lol.

Why not just call Google and complain? Its about as relevant as calling Samsung and complaining. Sprint is the reason its not released. Sprint is the reason we didn't have it months ago. Maybe if you guys READ the 32 effing other Froyo pissed off about not having it threads you would understand this and not have to create a new one every minute saying "hurr durr lets set Samsung on fire".

There is no proof sprint is the problem. There is ample proof that samsung is. The countries didn't get froyo for their galaxy s devices until this month. Canada, the UK, and Australia. In addition no US carrier has deployed froyo for their galaxy s phones. But even with these facts you claim sprint has been holding it up for months. Please provide proof of your claims.

As far as I can tell, none of us really know enough about this process to fairly place blame on Sprint or Samsung.

It's definitely a mix of both Sprint and Samsung. But I would lean more towards the Sprint side for the delay

Don't take this as a challenge but why sprint? While I don't hold sprint blameless in this, I just don't see any evidence that sprint has had froyo for months and is holding back. All evidence points to samsung as the main problem. Look at what happened in Canada. Released froyo on Dec 17 and had to pull it because it was destroying the internal storage on some of the phones. They didn't release it again until a week later.

Poll: Do u think Sprint Will Get The Galaxy Nexus? And When?

Do u Think Sprint Will Get The Galaxy Nexus? And When?

This was spoken about on another thread, they're saying never, since Nexus is prized for its LTE capabilities, and Sprint is deploying LTE for the first Quarter of 2012. After speaking with Sprint Reps a week ago, they also told me LTE is underway on their new towers, but that it won't be an impressive coverage until the next 5 years.

The thing is i want an awesome phone with updates. Considering i will be signing a 2 year contract and be stuck with the phone for 2 years. I love my epic and can keep it til august i just really want a nexus phone and nexus s is not enough. Maybe if it doesn't come out then next year the The new nexus with Jelly Bean will goto sprint when lte phones should be out already for sprint .

I've been told by an extremely reliable source that Sprint's network re-tool (including LTE) will be completed by late 2013. They are on an extremely aggressive timeline to roll it all out. They can't afford a long, drawn-out one, even if it's cheaper to do.

I half agree with this. I do think Sprint will get it, and I do think there will be 'better' options out there when it happens. However, I think I would rather have a slightly underpowered Nexus than a fully stocked Samsung/Motorola/HTC with the TW/Blur/Sense slapped on top of it.

Exactly plus get updates on time and regularly and have all the nice roms and new version of android for the whole 2 year agreement Then time for a new nexus

Google Wallet?
I think Sprint should get it at some point. Google is working with Sprint for Google Wallet and the only phone that does it is the Nexus S 4G. So why wouldn't they bring the next Nexus to Sprint too? Verizon, ATT, and TMo are competing with Google for NFC payments. I figure that since the Epic Touch 4G didn't come with NFC means, they're leaving that for the Nexus phones on Sprint. Just a thought.

I thought 4.5" screen was huge on G2; GN has a 4.7".
We'll need laptop style carrying bags for our "phones" soon.

Yes but the gn has the capacitive buttons on the screen that takes up some room so they are just about the same screen size.

I have no confidence in Sprint delivering anything according to a timetable. If this phone is really dependent on a network that Sprint doesn't even have yet, I'm guessing we either won't see this device at all, or, as others have said in this thread, we'll see at a point where it's lost all its cachet.

I seem to recall the Galaxy S2 listing Verizon and that didn't end up meaning anything so who knows

Well, to me it only makes sense that they include Sprint. I mean, the Nexus S eventually came to sprint, did it not? I don't see why Google would exclude a carrier they once worked with, especially if they want more sales.
I hope that link is true Zanderman. I'm pretty sure it is, but there's always that little bit of doubt.

does this mean it will be RELEASED that day, or the release date will be announced that day?

Since they are not announcing it till the evening I would think the earliest it would be on sale would be the next day. They may just say the dates it will be available with each carrier.

I highly doubt (unfortunately) that it will be released the day of or after. Think the GS3, the announcement was quite a ways, if memory serves, more than a month prior to the release on my carrier, Verizon. I think we may be waiting quite a while after the announcement. Here's hoping I am wrong.

October 24th? I was hoping it would be released by that time :/

my upgrade is up on monday. so do i cave in and get a GS3 (my current phone is 3 years old and barely usable), or wait it out for the note 2?

I know they want to make this a huge deal, but I'm thinking just giving us the dates would be way more hype than a party could create.

If I remember correctly TMO got the GS3 about a week before everybody else got it, so it could mean a possible Halloween release for the Note 2 on TMO based on a Nov 11th date. Would be nice since they released, then canceled the original note all the sudden. Seems like that would be a nice way for TMO to make-up for the mistake of a release of the Note1. Would make for a nice treat, but of course this is just speculation.

dang just release the thing already

Apple just doesn't tell you anything until its time to release, haha.
It works for them though because nothing else uses iOS so you won't buy another device because there were no details about the next phone. I'm already eligible for my upgrade. Had Note 2 details not have leaked I'd have the GS3 by now. Besides if Samsung launched within two weeks of an announcement I'm sure apple would sue for stealing the idea.

Hopefully they'll give some dates when they launch it on the 24th. Should be sooner, but at least now we have a date.

Better if the dates leak earlier. Also if it is our phone and not a new tablet announcement.

US Cellular states that they will have it ship out at the end of Oct, for pre-orders.

Any Sprint users?

I received the $100 off email yesterday. But I'm on Sprint. And I can't select Sprint on the pre-order site, so I haven't ordered the phone yet.
Has anyone pre-ordered a Sprint phone yet?

It hasn't even been announced when pre-orders will take place.

Me too, contacted Sprint, no tentative date of release. They need to get the ball rolling.

I'm waiting as well.

I must admit, I've been very excited for the release of this device. I've been a big fan of HTC since the Hero days and am still quite happy with and impressed by my trusty M7. The release of the 10 has, in my opinion, been nothing short of dismal. As evidenced by Samsung and even LG, you need to have your product available when the hype is at its peak. I'm really optimistic that the 10 will be worth the wait (despite not being water resistant, which would have put the thing over-the-top) but in this day and age people don't like to wait and with so many other great options available a struggling company can't afford to miss out on even one potential sale...

Totally agree. Should have been available at announcement.

Verizon is the #1 Carrier and seems to sell the most phones for HTC so I have no doubt that they were the first because of that. Back on the M8 sprint got the only harman kardon edition and I am think they didn't sell as many as HTC would have liked. HTC is trying to fix their profit problems in the US and one way to do that is to make Verizon happy. The sprint version will come. We already know a t-mobile phone will come as they did an un-boxing yet no announcement and I would assume its because Verizon rigged the game to be first. ATT won't sell it probably because they don't care to, they know people that want the phone want an unlocked/unlocked bootloader and will pay for it and they are possibly fine with that. Plus I assume they have have a better deal with Samsung and Apple where they make more money per phone sold. I will say it is sad to see that the unlocked version wont work on sprint, I think you can blame Verizon for that. This is only my opinion but verizon is opposed to unlocked bootloaders we all know, but since its CDMA it would be eaiser for HTC to make one "CDMA version" of the phone for both Verizon and sprint. It is still unclear if the unlocked version will have CDMA bands my guess is it wont. If it has CDMA the unlocked version has band 13 and should work on Verizon. That would be a big disappointment for sprint users since it does not have the 25, 26, 41 LTE bands. I am just glad I will be on ATT now...
I should add Verizon always gets their way, I cant wait till they day that stops but until then bye bye.

Really surprised there's not even a sign of when pre-orders are going to start yet. All the hype will be gone by the time that date arrives....

saw a email (addressed to someone else) from a marketing VP @ HTC which said the sprint option would be available on htc.com on 5/11...take that with a grain of salt...it didn't mention if the option was to buy or pre-order, though you'd think by then it should be the option to buy!

Still too far away, lol. Hopefully pre-orders start soon. Thanks for the info though.

So, no contract renewals for 199$ ?
We are expected to pay for the phone AND stay with Sprint using a phone that cannot be transferred to any other GSM network?
Somehow, GSM carriers are now looking good.
I have been with sprint since they kitted out as Sprint. Hope the above is not the only option.

Consider T-Mobile if the coverage works in your area. It's super fast in most big cities, the plans are reasonable and they are modding friendly.
