How likely / when will the EVO see Gingerbread???

Just wanna know, because it seems that Froyo changed the way that android handles the music interface, causing my music player and Pandora to pause when a call is placed or GPS instructions are given and not it no longer restarts on its own.

I've followed the issue on the android forums and it seems that it may be addressed in 3.0.

Any thoughts?

supposedly gingerbreads supposed to be rolled out mid october and were prolly be one of the first to get it cause the evo is the first in everything and sprints gonna want to keep that rep up most likely

HTC would have to make it work with SenseUI and they just got that done with froyo.

from what ive read gingerbread will cut out sense and samsungs version of sense i forget what its called but there wont be any need for it idk how htc is gonna feel about this since they just announced the sense update and ur rite its not up to sprint but if they put out gingerbread in october that means the different phone companies are imediatly going to start trying to put it on there phones and with sprint trying to make the evo first in everything its likely that there gonna try to push to be the first with gingerbread on it to like they were with froyo

WHEN it comes out, I dunno if well even get it on the Evo. Remember the reasons why the Hero and the Moment didn't get the Froyo update? Phone companies want you to move forward, to buy more, to buy newer. By the time Gingerbread comes out, Sprint very well may totally forget about the Evo. And why let your customers get something for free when you can force them to buy a new phone? Isn't that Sprint's mentality here?

Now I'm not trying to make us sound like nothing more than a bunch of wallets XD But it's something to consider on top of the HTC Sense issues. Sprint has the power to say no, because they feel like it.

I think October is way optimistic and would be surprised if Gingerbread were available for general release much before the end of the year.  I'm not saying we won't see it on Google's phone sooner but I don't see it coming to others much before mid December.

Now I do expect the Evo will get Gingerbread but, once again, not before mid December.

If Gingerbread actually incorporates a few of the better features from Sense, it may be my first real candidate for a ROM swap.  I'm not a huge fan of most of the built-in software that Sprint and HTC added anyway.

evo meets all the specs for gingerbread. we'll be getting it. when is the question. but october 15 or 16 is supposed to be the release date.

i would like to find a rom that makes EVERYTHING work, is completely stock and has no sprint crap. cept for navigation.
